FAQs

Can it be connected to homekit through a zigbee hub?****

our GU10 smart light bulbs do not support zigbee and homekit, hope to help you.

does these work with 220v?****

I don’t know if it says it’s with a 110 then it won’t work on a 220.

Sorry, because in the answer 1 month ago, you said “ you can place 2 orders to get 12 units…” so I think if I buy 2 orders of 4pack I receive 12un?****

Sorry, 2 orders do not equal 2 packs. The max amount of an order is 5 packs. So, if a customer wants to purchase more, he should split the amounts to many orders.

if I understand correctly, I buy 2 pack of 4 bulbs and receive 12 bulbs, really?****

Sorry, no. 2X4=8.

what temps in °C or °F can get these lamps after 1-2 hours of being turned on?****

25℃ Ambient temperature of tested the result is 35℃~40℃.

These appear Frosted. Would they reduce shimmer in a crystal chandelier? Versus a clear bulb.****

The cover of smart bulb is glossy and it is safer than glass cover. The gu10 smart bulbs won’t reduce shimmer in a crystal chandelier

After a while of being on, these lights get very hot?****

Usually less than normal bulbs.

How can I get my Avatar Light to Connect to Wi-Fi?****

Open your app quickly, tap “+,” provide your Wi-Fi password and name, then start browsing for bulbs and signing up on Tuya cloud. In less than a minute, the bulb will be effectively connected.

My smart bulb is blinking; why?****

When the bulb is in pairing mode and prepared for installation, the light should begin flashing. Turn the light on for one second, then off for one second three times in a row if they are not blinking.

Why won’t my lightbulb connect?****

Check the lightbulb to check whether it is burned out or if it is loose in the socket. If necessary, tighten the lightbulb or replace it. Examine the socket tab located in the middle of the socket.

Do LED lights require Wi-Fi?****

You need a smart device that supports Bluetooth, such as a smartphone or tablet. Simply turn on the light switch, launch the smart bulb’s Bluetooth app, and the bulb will be “discovered” so you may control it without Wi-Fi. The next step is to click “add device,” “connect,” or “pair” on the app.

Are GU10 LED lights transformer-required?****

No. Although they don’t need a transformer to operate, LED bulbs do need a driver.

How many lightbulbs is Alexa able to manage?****

I have individual control over Bulb 1, 2, or 3. or as a member of the All the Lights group, the Downstairs Lights group, or both. What Alexa is capable of is quite amazing. These groups are configured via the Alexa app.

When I’m not home, can Alexa turn on the lights?****

Alexa can simulate your presence at home if you’re going away for a few days or a night.

How does Alexa activate lighting?****

By integrating with smart devices, Alexa takes your voice requests and puts them into action. You’ll need an Amazon Echo, a smart lightbulb, and a solid Wi-Fi connection even for controlling lighting. To control lighting, Alexa transmits your orders through the Wi-Fi network.
