What You'll Learn
Resetting smart Wi-Fi light bulbs
Resetting your Feit Electric smart Wi-Fi light bulb can resolve various issues, such as connectivity problems or preparing the bulb for a new owner. Before performing a factory reset, you must first remove the light from the Feit Electric app.
Here's how to remove the bulb from the app:
- On the Feit app home screen, tap the light you want to remove.
- Go to the Settings menu in the upper right corner of the control panel.
- Select the "Remove Device" option.
Once you've removed the bulb from the app, you can proceed with the factory reset.
To factory reset your smart light, turn it on and off for one second three consecutive times. When the bulb flashes rapidly, it is ready for setup. This process will return the bulb to its default settings and erase all data on the device.
After the reset, you need to pair the bulb with your smart home system or app again. Here's how:
- Ensure you have the Feit Electric app installed on your smartphone.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the smart bulb to your Wi-Fi network. This usually involves selecting the bulb from a list of devices and entering your Wi-Fi credentials.
- To reconnect your Feit smart light, make sure your mobile device is connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Also, disable any VPN or ad-blocker.
- Open the Feit Electric app and log in to your account.
- Tap the "+" icon to start adding a new device, and allow any necessary permissions.
- Select your device type by going to Lighting and then choosing Lighting Device.
- Confirm that the light is flashing by checking if your light is flashing.
If you are having trouble connecting your Feit Electric smart product to Wi-Fi, some troubleshooting tips might help. Many routers have two bands: a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz network. You can use your smartphone to check what Wi-Fi bands are available. If your device is closer to your router (5-15 feet), it may automatically connect to the 5GHz band.
Alternatively, you can try power cycling, which keeps all your light settings intact. Power cycling involves turning off the bulb for a few minutes and then turning it back on to reconnect it to your network.

Troubleshooting connection issues
If you are having trouble connecting your Feit Electric Smart product to Wi-Fi, there are several troubleshooting tips you can try.
First, check your router's location. If it's in the basement or attic, or far away from your device, you may have a coverage issue. Try bringing your device within 5-20 feet of your router to see if it connects. If this doesn't work, you may need to upgrade your router or add a range extender or booster to improve your coverage and bandwidth availability.
Next, check your router's settings. Your router may have a setting that restricts the number of connected devices. Even though routers can issue many addresses, factory settings may limit the number of connected devices allowed. You may also need to manually enable WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) on your router's admin screen to connect your Feit Electric smart device.
If you are still experiencing issues, try restarting your smartphone and reconnecting to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Make sure the lights are in pairing mode and blinking rapidly. You may need to disconnect them from the power and reconnect them individually until they are each blinking rapidly. Then, use the Feit Electric app to connect your light to Wi-Fi.
If you continue to experience issues connecting your Feit Electric smart device, you can reach out to their support team for further troubleshooting.
