The article provides reset instructions for various Nanoleaf bulbs. Try to power cycle prior to resetting. Resetting clears any previous configurations and reopens the pairing window so you can start fresh.
When to Reset
Resetting your bulb is helpful when:
• It’s not pairing
• It’s acting glitchy
• Something has changed on your network, or following a power outage
Before You Begin: Our Essentials Bulbs aren’t compatible with smart switches or dimmer fixtures. If yours is connected to one of these, move it to a regular fixture before proceeding... trust us, it’ll make things way easier. ⚠️ A factory reset erases your pairing and network info. You’ll need to set the device up again afterward.
✅ Step 1 | Refresh Bluetooth
Before resetting, give Bluetooth a clean slate:
• Go to Settings > Bluetooth on your phone.
• Toggle Bluetooth OFF and wait 60 seconds.
• Restart your phone.
• Go back to your Setting and toggle Bluetooth ON again.
✅ Step 2 | Perform the Reset
• Turn the bulb ON and leave it on for 10 seconds.
• Now perform this power cycle 4 times in a row:
• Turn off for 3 seconds
• Turn on for less than 1 second
• Turn off for 3 seconds
• Turn on for less than 1 second
Repeat this cycle four (4) times in total.
After the final cycle, leave the bulb ON.
🎉 If you nailed the sequence, you’ll see the bulb flash three (3) red blinks, turn off, and then turn back on automatically. That’s your signal that the reset was successful!
✅ Step 3: Re-Pair Your Bulb
Make sure Bluetooth is ON, open the Nanoleaf App and follow the steps to pair.

| SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR MATTER-ENABLED BULBS |
If you’re using a Matter-compatible bulb and planning to connect it to a smart home ecosystem, make sure you start the process immediately after the reset. Matter bulbs follow a strict 15-minute security commission window (yes, it’s as intense as it sounds), so be sure to pair it within that time frame..
📢 Firmware Update | Once the bulb is paired, check for any available firmware updates in the Nanoleaf app and install them. This ensures your bulb is running the latest and greatest version.
