Your Wi-Fi:

Router	802.11 b/g/n	WPA2 security compatible

LIFX lights connect to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi frequency network, which routers can be set up for. This offers a better range and stability for devices. You may also have a 5 GHz connection, so if you’re not sure which is which, check the current Wi-Fi you’re connected to by pressing the Wi-Fi icon on your phone while connected and look at the listed details to find the frequency.

Connection troubles?
Wi-Fi waves can be interrupted by materials like concrete or mirrors. If your signal is weak, try moving your product near your router for setup as it will need a stable connection to complete. If you have lots of devices connected to your router, check the recommended amount. Some routers can handle many devices, while others can only support a few.

FAQS

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.

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 airflow 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 that 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.
