FAQS

• What type of Wi-Fi do I need ?
  Like many devices, LIFX lights connect to the 2.4Ghz band of Wi-Fi, not 5Ghz. If you have more than one available network on your router, this could mean you are connected to 5Ghz and need to try your other network. Almost all Wi-Fi routers will have a 2.4 GHz band so if you only have one network you will likely be on the right one to get started.

• How do I reset a light to factory settings ?
  Turn the light off and on at the switch 5 times, about one switch a second (not too fast). The lights will cycle through four colors or whites and stop on white when the reset has been successful. This is how you would remove a light from a network to then add it to a new one.

• I’ve set up a new network / changed my password, how do I re-connect my lights ?
  If you’ve changed your Wi-Fi password or set up a new router with a new password, you will need to reset your lights and connect them through the app as you did the first time you connected them. This is so you can assign the new, correct password for the security of each device.

• How do I connect other devices and services like Voice control or IFTTT ?
  This can vary depending on the service you’d like to use. You can find out about major partner products LIFX work well with at LIFX.com. For advice on connecting services you can find instructions for these at go.LIFX.com

• Installation requirements & recommendation
  This device should only be installed in light fittings and fixtures that are designed to accept each fitting. Lamps, fittings and fixtures that are designed to accept smaller or lower wattage light bulbs may result in the LIFX® bulb operating below its optimal capacity. For optimal performance it is recommended that LIFX® bulbs be fitted into fixtures that provide sufficient air flow through and around the bulb. It is recommended that the LIFX® bulb be installed away from other devices designed to receive or transmit radio signals. It is recommended LIFX® bulb/s be installed and operated at a minimum distance of 30 cm from the body. For lamps with a weight significantly higher than that of lamps for which they are a replacement, attention should be drawn to the fact that the increased weight may reduce the mechanical stability of certain luminaires and may impair contact making and lamp retention
