Dear god I thought that video would never end... Turn off for 2 seconds, Turn on for 8 seconds, Turn off for 2 seconds, Turn on for 8 seconds, Turn off for 2 seconds, Turn on for 8 seconds, Turn off for 2 seconds, Turn on for 8 seconds, Turn off for 2 seconds, Turn on for 8 seconds, Turn off for 2 seconds, Turn on for 8 seconds, Turn off for 2 seconds, Turn on for 8 seconds......

My Sengled bulbs just require I essentially strobe the light like 5 times or something like that which isn't great but it's better than this.

This is absurd, the bulbs don't need to be hermetically sealed like incandescents were, so just put a tiny little 'reset' button somewhere rather than all this stupidity.

While the reset procedure is too much there does need to be a way to reset bulbs are out of reach.

Yeah, you'd think "turn the light off for 2 seconds, then on for 8 seconds. Repeat X times" would be enough.

Although I watched that, and still don't know the value for X... And I can't bring myself to watch it a second time.

Put the reset button in the point of the screw part; need a little pin to press it but it is simple and out of reach (for little children or accidental pressing) without unscrewing the bulb.
