- Turn on the bulb for a few seconds (3-5) and then turn it off. Wait for another 3-5 seconds and repeat. You may have to repeat this process up to 6 times in order for your bulb to be fully reset. Once you see the TECKIN smart bulb blinking without giving a steady light, you know it has been successfully reset.
