Tips and Troubleshooting

Hardware Resetting

You may notice a small switch on the back of your LIFX bulb.  This is the hardware 
reset switch.

If you are having difficulties with a bulb, flicking the hardware reset switch will 
return the bulb back to its virgin state as if it was brand new. 

How to hardware reset the bulbs:

Turn the bulb(s) off

Flick the reset switch into the opposite position (e.g if the switch is at the top 
position move it to the bottom, if the switch is at the bottom position, move it 
to the top.) NOTE: once the switch is moved to the opposing position the bulb 
is reset, it does not need to be returned to its original position)

Turn the bulb closest to your router or access point on

It should now flash Red, Green, Blue, & settle on White

Please run through the setup procedure for the primary bulb

If you see any errors during setup, try the following:

Force Quit the app

Check to make sure that your device is connected to the correct 

network

Relaunch the app

Can you control your bulb(s) now? If so, please proceed with the following:

Turn the remaining bulbs on

They should now flash Red, Green, Blue, & settle on White

Open the LIFX app on your device

In the settings is an option to "Add New Bulbs"

Tap that option and your remaining bulbs will be added into the network

If it still isn't showing all your bulbs in the list or the options isn't greyed out, 
tap it again

You should now have control over all your bulbs.
