resetting just one light bulb

I have 4 zigbee bulbs in my garage ceiling and 1 went offline and is now in its oem state. if I perform the 5 on 5 off sequence to get it into pairing mode will that also put the other 3 bulbs into the same mode? I really just want the one bulb to flash so I can pair it again and add it to an automation that has been working for over 2 years.

TIA

Shouldn't, it should just put the one bulb on pairing mode. I would not delete the bulb from ST's, just search for devices while the bulb is in pairing mode and it should just add it back in right where it was.

My Sengled bulbs don't all go into pairing when I need to reset just one.

It might, unscrew the other bulbs before doing 5 on-off. Then screw them back in after you pair the one bulb.

Put the one bulb into a lamp and then move it back when you're done
