Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Feit Electric BR30 Smart Flood Light Bulb, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Bulb Not Connecting to Wi-Fi:
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The bulb does not support 5GHz networks.

  • Try resetting the bulb by turning the light switch off and on three times. The bulb should then blink, indicating pairing mode.
  • Move the bulb closer to your Wi-Fi router during the initial setup process.
  • If the bulb is in a recessed fixture, metal components can interfere with Wi-Fi signals. Ensure adequate signal strength in the installation location.
• Voice Control Not Responding:
  • Verify that your Feit Electric account is correctly linked to your Alexa or Google Assistant app.
  • Check the bulb's name in the Feit Electric app and use that exact name in your voice commands.
  • Ensure your smart speaker or device is connected to the internet.
• App Control Issues:
