Why reset your light?
By hardware resetting your light, you are bringing it back to basics as if it were new. It may be necessary when you need to connect to a new network, if you have changed your network password, or are having trouble with your light.

Resetting Lightstrip, Neon Flex and Beam:
Resetting Lightstrip, Noen Flex and Beam are a little different from the other LIFX models.
Find the reset button on the controller. It is on the side of the controller box. Hold it down for 10-15 seconds, and then release. The strips or Beam Sections should then flash red, green, and blue and settle on white like Color LIFX bulbs do when they reset.
(Note, you may still reset Lightstrip, Neon Flex or Beam Kit by cutting their power source 5 times as with our standard lights)
