Setup Guide

Quick Setup Guide

Turn it on!

Connect the lamp to a USB charger or laptop with the provided USB cable. The lamp will turn blue, and then after a few seconds it will turn red.

Find the Friendship Lamp Wifi

When lamp is red, connect to the new Wi-Fi network named “FriendLamp_xxxxx”.

You can do this with a mobile phone, or on a PC/MacBook.

Press Configure Wifi

Once connected to the Wi-Fi, there will be a popup asking you to sign in to the Wi-Fi, press the popup and it will take you to the sign in page.

If there is no popup, please proceed to a web browser and enter the following into the address field “192.168.4.1”, which will take you to the same page

Connect the lamp to your home Wifi

  1. The next page should list all the Wi-Fi networks in your area, if your network does not appear, please press the scan link at the bottom of the page.
  2. Once you see your Wi-Fi network, press it and enter your Wi-Fi password.
  3. Finally and most importantly, please enter your allocated GroupID which you received in an email. Alternatively you can generate a new GroupID here. This same GroupID must be used for all the lamps on your network.

How to use your Friendship Lamp

The friendship lamp has quite a few functions and they are all controlled with just one sensitive touch button!

Friendship Lamp Functions Explanation
Contact other lamps With a single touch you can contact all the other lamps on your GroupID.
Change colour We have many colours to choose from with our Friendship lamp, when you hold your finger on the touch button, the colour options will start to cycle through. Just hold down until you see the colour you want. The lamp will stay on for another 5 seconds and then turn off.
Turn lamp off If for any reason you would like to stop the lamp shining, you can simply hold down the button for 2 seconds and release and you will turn off the lamp. Please note that if you or your friend touches a Friendship Lamp the lamp will turn on again, so you don’t have to worry about shutting your friend out.
Change WiFi settings Although you will most likely not need to do this, you can enter the WiFi configuration mode by touching the button for around 30 seconds. You will notice that the lamp cycles through all the colours a number of times, but eventually it will turn dim red and stay like that. At this point you can connect to the Friendship Lamp’s Wifi and change the WiFi settings of the GroupID. This may be useful if you want to make sure that the lamps are on the same network if they are not working properly.

Colour Codes

The lamp lets you know what it is doing by showing you any of the following colours:

Dim blue – I am just turning on and connecting
Dim red – I am unable to connect to WiFi and I would like to be set up
Dim purple – I am downloading and installing an update, just wait ’till I am swirling green and ready to go!
Swirling green – I am connected and ready to go!
