and unlock our latest features and improvements.

TIPS FOR UPDATING YOUR LIFX

The latest LIFX iOS and Android apps will automatically offer to upgrade your firmware when a new version is available. Just launch the LIFX app and make sure you are connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your lights, then follow the prompts to update your lights. Updates should take less than a minute per light. If you have many lights to update, try switching some lights off at the wall and updating them in smaller batches. If you do not have one of the new Generation 3 LIFX or LIFX + lights you may also use the Desktop Updaters to update your lights from a computer.
