Bulb goes to unidentified.

[CypherMK]

Since I bought 4 extra GU10 bulbs, I sometimes have bulbs go to unidentified by itself. I have 9 bulbs in total now. Always a random bulb. They stay available in the Lifx app. What can I do about it?

This sounds a lot like the type of issues LIFX community forum is full of unfortunately. The most common workarounds I've seen suggested are:

• Try another wifi channel, it's important to use a fixed channel one of 1, 6 or 11. The channels in between shouldn't be used for any devices due to sideband noise.
• Try changing the router to another location if possible
• Set fixed a IP addresses for the lights on your router settings. This helped a lot for me after setting the list of light IP's on the config node as a comma separated list, eg. "192.168.1.20, 192.168,1.21, 192.168.1.22"
• Buy a dedicated wifi router if you don't already have. Wifi routers bundled with cable/ADSL modems are usually not very good.
