💚 Pulsing Green

Your lamp is searching for Wi-Fi. This is normal right after plugging it in. It will keep looking until it connects.

Need help connecting?

🔴 Pulsing Red (FriendLi Only)

This means there’s no active subscription.

Important:

Each FriendLi Lamp needs its own subscription.
You can only link one lamp per mobile device.
Subscriptions include Remote Touch + Extended Warranty at no extra cost.

FriendLi works with all Friendship Lamps and Frames.

💛🟢 Pulsing Green + Yellow/Orange

Your lamp couldn’t connect but is trying again soon.
This can happen on some firmware versions.

🔵 Pulsing Blue

Your lamp is connected to Wi-Fi but can’t reach the internet.

Try:

Restarting your Wi-Fi router
Checking Firewall settings
Making sure you’re not behind a captive portal (like hotel or University Wi-Fi)
Additional information: Pulsing Blue

🔵🟢 Pulsing Blue + Green

Your lamp is ready—but the bridge might be the issue.

Try this:

Make sure your bridge is plugged into your router/modem via Ethernet.
Unplug the power cord only, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in.
Wait for the bridge to show a solid green light.
Your lamp should connect shortly after.

👉 Not using a bridge? Make sure it’s unplugged completely, or the lamp may get confused.

💜 Pulsing Violet

Your lamp is in setup mode and talking to your device.
This is normal while connecting to Wi-Fi.

💗 Pulsing Pink

Your lamp found a hidden network, like the Filimin Bridge.

If it keeps pulsing pink, try moving it closer to the router.

🌈 Startup Rainbow

Lots of colors, then it turns off?
That means it successfully connected to our servers. Yay!

Cool Color Steps (Green to Blue)

This means your lamp received your settings and saved them successfully.

🔴 Solid, Dull Red

The lamp is installing a firmware update.
Do not unplug it while it’s updating!

🟦 Solid Teal

Your lamp is connecting to our servers.
If it gets stuck here, don’t unplug it—just contact us.

⚪ White Flashes

This can happen briefly when the lamp powers on or restarts—totally normal.

Frequent flashes? It may be losing connection.
