Hue bulb blinking: pairing or reset

Regular pulsing after a mains blip — the bulb is often in Zigbee pairing or needs a reset.

Steps

If you meant to add it: start “Add light” in the Hue app.
If it was already installed: power cycle reset (off 5 s, on 5 s — repeat per Hue instructions for your model).
Avoid non-“Works with Hue” dimmers.
Re-pair to the Bridge if it disappeared.
Still blinking on a plain lampholder: possible hardware fault.
