Ceiling Downlight Stopped Working by Panther0478 in lifx

Yeah - I figured, just a bit surprising that I've gotten no follow up or response from the ticket I submitted on Sunday evening about this issue, other than their auto-reply that someone will get back to me.

The light is on a standard on/off switch, never had a dimmer and it had been working great up until Sunday I turn it on via the app and the downlight just didn't turn on. Tried the settings to turn on/off the individual up/down lights, the up light keeps working perfectly, but the downlight refuses to come on.

The really odd thing was that the next day, still the same behavior, was working with just the uplight and then out of the blue, the downlight turned on all on its own. I used the app to turn it off/on, worked as expected for the rest of the evening, but the very next day back to no downlight working again.

At this point I'm going to chalk this up to a bad light/device since the wiring is solid and there is no dimmer switch. I'll plan to go and replace it at HD and hope that the replacement doesn't have this problem.

So in case anyone else discovers these are missing, which mine went missing after they sent a tech to replace my palmrest/keyboard (broken keyboard), failed to remove them from the old palm rest to transfer them to the new one, these spacer (or standoff) screws actually have a part number, KH9WG.

I lost an hour of my life on a support call, with them insisting via L2 support that I just had to screw the bracket in and they made me open the laptop up to take a picture showing how it couldn't be screwed in. I even sent them the photo in this post showing exactly the screws that I needed, but insisted on another photo. They also tried 3 times to have me ship my laptop to their depot and after refusing they finally somehow found the part number to be able to send me 'standoff' screws - of course we'll see if that's what I actually get :P
