I found my way to this conversation after starting today with a 2:30am wake up call from LIFX! :slight_smile: jackcorbae on LIFX Community Forums, November 2019 Took my wife and I hours to put him back to bed. Mini brown-out and it woke up our baby in the middle of the night. This is ridiculous fix this issue ….storms caused this to happen several times and I’m tired of waking up to screaming toddlers wanting the light off when it should not have come on in the first place!!!! Pierre Barry on Facebook, July 2019Īdd me to list of people who’d like a fix to be implemented.

Bulbs go into 1000 suns mode waking everyone. This has caused people to be quite annoyed because they turn the lights off at night, only to have them be back on at 100% brightness in the middle of the night (after a power outage)! Here’s some quotes from annoyed LIFX customers who have been hit by this problem:Įspecialy when I use the light in ours and our kids bedroom. Notice how I only mention color and brightness there, not the on/off state? Right now, LIFX bulbs will be turned back on after power is restored to them – whether they were on or not before the power was cut. This information is stored on your LIFX smart bulb so that if you turn the bulb off on the wall (or there’s a power outage), it can start back up at the same brightness levels and color. Their color (are they a simple white, or set to a weird orange-purple color?).Their brightness level (are they dimmed right down, or at full brightness?).Smart bulbs have a number of different states: But one big downside of them is what happens when there’s a power outage… How LIFX bulbs respond to a power outage That’s the beauty of smart bulbs – they can make your life easier by changing to suit your lifestyle, along with offering a bunch of fun features too. Include the bulb in your automation routines so that you can (for example) turn a light on when someone presses your doorbell.Have your bulbs go on and off (or change color) on a timer, or based on the sunset/sunrise.night light levels), and back up to 100% brightness (day time light levels) as you wish. Change its color, from bright orange to deep blue and everything in-between!.You can download a LIFX app and control them with your smartphone, or hook them up to your smart speaker (such as an Amazon Echo or Google Home device) and control them that way.īy ‘control them’, I should add that this means the ability to: LIFX bulbs contain a WiFi chip in them, meaning that they are part of your home WiFi network. They also produce some of the brightest bulbs in the smart bulb market with up to 1,100 lumens of light, which held the record of ‘brightest smart bulb’ for quite a while (before Philips Hue beat it in mid-2020 with a 1,600 lumen bulb). LIFX smart bulbs are premium-end smart bulbs that have pretty good build quality, and produce a good quality of color.
