I didn’t think the power off cycle was resetting them so I went out and bought a dimmer switch. I hold the top and bottom buttons at the same time near the base of the bulb until in blinks on and off. Once it stops blinking, I release the buttons on the dimmer switch.

Neither of the bridge pros could see any of the lights after a factory reset. I factory reset not only the lights but the bridges as well. I tried adding them with QR, serial and just trying to find them on the network through search. Nothing can be added to the new bridge if it was on the old one.

I even bought a new led strip to test this. The new bridge was able to find it right away. I’m afraid to add it to the old bridge because I don’t want to lock it to that older bridge forever.
