How to Reset LIFX feature lights: Lightstrip, Neon Flex and Beam:
Resetting LIFX feature lights is a little different from the other LIFX models as they may have a Controller component.
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 your Lightstrip, Neon Flex or Beam by cutting the power source 5 times, as with our Light Bulbs).
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.
