ReefLED 50 stuck in demo mode

[Reefgirly]

Purchased a Red Sea max e170. Set it up today.
Could not get my light to connect to the app. Was playing with options and pressed demo mode.

Now my WiFi setting only said ai demo.

Tried resetting. Tried unplugging.
But not I can’t get my light to turn on at all with buttons on the light or on the app

Pretty concerned considering I have corals.

Any idea how to get the light out of demo mode?

Step 1: Perform a Factory Reset on the Light
1. Unplug the power to the ReefLED 90.
2. Press and hold the control button on the top of the light.
3. While still holding the button, plug the light back in.
4. Continue holding the button for ~10–15 seconds until you see the light flash or turn solid, then release.
• This performs a hard reset and wipes the Demo Mode setting.

Step 2: Reset App Connection
1. On your phone, go to Wi-Fi settings.
2. Forget the “AI-Demo” or “ReefLED-xxxx” network if it’s saved.
3. Reopen the ReefBeat app (not MyAI).
4. Tap “Add Device” or go to settings → Add Light.
5. The app should now detect the reset light broadcasting a fresh setup signal (usually called “ReefLED-XXXX”).
6. Reconnect the light to your home WiFi and restore or create your schedule.

⸻

If the Light Still Won’t Turn On:
• Confirm the light powers on at all (fan or faint glow).
• Retry the factory reset process exactly as above. Timing matters.
• If nothing works: uninstall and reinstall ReefBeat, reboot your phone, and retry with a second device.

Hope this helps
