OLIGHT Obulb Pro App

The OLIGHT APP is designed to connect and control compatible Olight devices through Bluetooth mesh networking.

DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION

Before using, please download and install the OLIGHT APP on your mobile phone.

For iPhone, please download it from the “App Store”.
For Android phones, please download it from the “Google Play Store”.

DEVICE CONNECTION

Set the Obulb Pro to its network setting mode.
Enable the Bluetooth and GPS functions on your mobile phone and launch the OLIGHT APP.
Search and add the Obulb Pro.
Add successfully.

OBULB PRO NETWORK SETTING MODE
While the Obulb Pro is turned on with the white light setting, press and hold its button for 5 seconds until it flashes red and then green to enter the network setting mode. In this mode, users can search and add the Obulb Pro with the OLIGHT APP.

NOTES:

If the Obulb Pro has not been connected within 3 minutes, it will exit the network setting mode automatically. You can also exit the mode with any button operation on the Obulb Pro.
The Obulb Pro can only be searched and added to one mobile phone. If you want to control it with another mobile phone, you can share your current network data by generating a QR Code with the OLIGHT APP. Alternatively, you can disconnect the Obulb Pro and use another device to search and add it.
The OLIGHT APP cannot control the Obulb Pro if its button is locked out. Please unlock the button to enable control.
When the OLIGHT APP imports network data from a QR code, the original data in the OLIGHT APP will be overwritten.
The number of Olight devices connected determines how many mobile phones are allowed for simultaneous control via network data sharing. If there is only one Olight device connected, only the first phone that searched and added the Obulb Pro can control it. If there are two or more Olight devices connected, control can be shared among the same number of phones. If another phone is not able to connect to a device after scanning the QR code, it may be because the number of phones exceeds the number of devices. To ensure a successful connection, please disconnect the device from your previously connected phone.
By generating a QR code, the OLIGHT APP can share a connected device to another phone so that they can also have control. Settings and preferences like product names or pictures cannot be shared. Once the QR code is shared, the OLIGHT APP will not synchronize any new changes unless a new QR code is generated and shared again.
Frequent operation or multi-device control may lead to data overload and cause the OLIGHT APP to respond slowly or stop responding. Please try again or refresh the status.
OTA update is only available for Android phones.
