Important Note on Wi-Fi: This bulb requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. If you have a dual-band router (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with a single SSID, you may need to temporarily disable the 5 GHz band or create a dedicated 2.4 GHz guest network during setup to ensure proper connection. Consult your router's documentation or internet service provider for assistance.

5. Troubleshooting

• Bulb not connecting to Alexa/Wi-Fi:
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz. These bulbs are not compatible with 5 GHz networks.
  • If you have a dual-band router with a single network name (SSID), try temporarily disabling the 5 GHz band on your router during setup. Refer to your router's manual or ISP for instructions.
  • Move the bulb closer to your Wi-Fi router during the initial setup process.
  • Reset the bulb by turning it off and on five times consecutively (wait 1-2 seconds between each toggle). The bulb should flash to indicate reset mode.
  • Ensure your Alexa app is updated to the latest version.
• Bulb loses connection after power outage:
  • After a power outage, it may take a few minutes for your Wi-Fi network and Alexa devices to fully come back online. Wait for all network components to stabilize before checking the bulb's connection.
  • If the bulb does not reconnect automatically, try power cycling the bulb (turn off and on at the switch) or re-adding it through the Alexa app if necessary.
• Bulb turns on unexpectedly after power outage:
  • Smart bulbs often default to an "on" state after a power interruption. This is a common behavior. You can use the Alexa app to turn it off once your network is restored.
• Brightness or color temperature not responding:
  • Verify the bulb is connected to Alexa and online in the app.
  • Ensure your voice commands are clear and specific.
  • Check for any conflicting routines or schedules in the Alexa app.

6. Safety Information

• For indoor use only. Do not use outdoors or in fully enclosed fixtures that may trap heat.
• Not suitable for emergency exits.
• Risk of electric shock. Do not open or modify the bulb.
• Ensure power is off before installing or removing the bulb.
• Do not use with standard dimmers. This bulb is dimmable via the Alexa app only.
