- Storage: Store bulbs in a cool, dry place when not in use.

7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Connectivity Issues
- Bulb not blinking during setup: Perform the OFF-ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON reset sequence as described in Section 2.3.
- Unable to connect to Wi-Fi: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. 5GHz networks are not supported. Check your Wi-Fi password for accuracy.
- Bulb disconnects frequently: Ensure the bulb is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Avoid placing it near strong interference sources.
7.2 Dimming and Color Issues
- Light flickers or shorts out: If using a physical dimmer switch, ensure it is set to maximum or a stable mid-range. These smart bulbs are primarily designed for app-based dimming.
- Color or brightness not as expected: Calibrate settings within the Smart Life app. Ensure saturation and brightness sliders are adjusted correctly in Color Mode.
7.3 Bulb Not Responding
- Bulb appears dead: Try the reset sequence (OFF-ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON). If it still doesn't light up, test it in a different working socket to rule out fixture issues.
- Voice commands not working: Verify that the Smart Life skill is enabled and linked correctly in your Alexa/Google Home app. Ensure the bulb's name in the Smart Life app matches the name used in voice commands.
