Maintenance
OHLUX Smart Light Bulbs require minimal maintenance.
- Ensure the bulbs are clean and free of dust. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth when necessary.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bulb not connecting to Wi-Fi. | Incorrect Wi-Fi frequency (5GHz), incorrect pairing mode, weak signal. | Ensure your phone is on a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Perform the OFF-ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON sequence to ensure rapid blinking. Move closer to the Wi-Fi router. |
| Voice control not working. | Smart Life skill/service not enabled or linked, incorrect device name. | Verify the 'Smart Life' skill is enabled and linked in your Alexa/Google Home app. Ensure the bulb's name is recognized by the voice assistant. Try rediscovering devices. |
| Colors or brightness not changing as expected via app. | App software limitations, temporary glitch. | Some advanced scene/automation features may have limitations with color changes. Try manual adjustment. Restart the app or the bulb (turn off/on at switch). |
| Bulb flickering or unresponsive. | Loose connection, power fluctuation, faulty bulb. | Ensure the bulb is screwed in tightly. Check power supply. If issues persist, contact customer support. |
