4. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Linkind Smart Edison Bulbs, refer to the following common solutions:

4.2 Performance Issues

- Incorrect brightness or color temperature: Use the AiDot APP or remote control to adjust settings. If using voice control, specify the desired brightness percentage or color temperature (e.g., "warm white").
