While I agree that the method is pretty bad, I think the video is about as top notch as it could have been given the reset method choice.

You’re meant to use the video at the same time as you’re performing the reset, and it gives you a timer to help out. Also, the changes are synced with the moments he says “on” or “off.”

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.

unless you have kids tall enough to reach the light switch

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.

This video caused a good amount of lost productivity in my engineering department yesterday. It was worth it tho haha

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.

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.

Did they pay the guy to say it that many times or just put it on repeat to save money?

Usually this is called "Easter egg".

Not everybody with access to the light switch should be able to take control. This is a security problem.
