White bulb won’t enter pairing mode

Jump to solution

Just purchased two white bulbs. One set up fine. The other won’t enter pairing mode. I have tried turning it off and on three times. And used different lamps on different circuits. Still won’t enter pairing mode. The bulb does seem very hot.

I havent tried these troubleshooting options but I had the same thing happen with a pair of color bulbs. One connected and the 2nd didn't.

I'm curious if either of you when plugging in the 2nd bulb saw the bulb flash green at all? It's been a little over a week since installing the first and tried the 2nd so its hard to recall second by second what happened but mine def flashed green I unplugged it quickly cause I decided last second I wanted to change the location I was going to use the bulb and it was after that that I started getting nothing from the 2nd bulb.
