> My first thought is that many light bulbs are not easily accessible. They could be high up, or in a casing that requires a tool to open. So being able to reset them remotely is a practical benefit. Light bulbs that get installed ARE accessible -- accessible enough to be installed and changed, at the very least, and that's all that's needed. Remove the bulb, put it in a lamp, turn the lamp on, and push the button that should have been installed for a firmware update. The "power on, wait, power off, wait," repeated 12 times or whatever should be a LAST RESORT only, imo.
