So, I was able to install "lifx-control-panel" which has a feature that detects my screen's average or dominant color and relays that information to my LIFx bulb. I can confirm that it is working. I'm still unsure why the dependencies are successfully installing for Firelight but not being able to open or run.

Solution: In Windows 10, you need to locate the directory where you installed firelight (should be shown in CMD when installing).

Then, back into Python310 folder that contains the install location

1

and find Python310\Scripts

2

Copy the full directory location for Python310\Scripts and add it to your PATH directory. In my case, I had to replace my PATH with it otherwise the command 'firelight lifx' wouldn't be recognized.

Here is a link on how to add to your directory: https://gist.github.com/nex3/c395b2f8fd4b02068be37c961301caa7
