My Light does not appear in my network list

Updated

See this article for steps on resetting a light.

When the bulb is correctly connected to your network, the LIFX network does not appear in your list of networks.

If your light is flashing Bright White / Dim White, it is in Rescue Mode and might not broadcast a network.

If you have reset your light, and cannot see the LIFX network to set up the bulb again, try the steps for the light you have. 

  1. Reset your light (turn it on/off 5 times)
  2. Wait between 15 - 30 seconds
  3. Open your Wi-Fi settings and look for the light's network name, "LIFX...."

If the light does not appear:

  1. Reset the light again
  2. After the bulb settles on White, turn off the light for 5 seconds, then turn it back on
  3. Wait 30 seconds
  4. Turn your Wi-Fi on your device off and then back on

 

LIFX Original (E26, E27, B22, and GU-10)

  1. Reset your light (flick the switch on the side of the bulb)
  2. Turn your Wi-Fi on your device off and then back on
  3. Wait 2 minutes and check your Wi-Fi network list


If the light does not appear:

  1. Turn off the light for 3 seconds, then turn it back on
  2. Wait 30 seconds
  3. Turn your Wi-Fi on your device off and then back on
