In an ordinary LED light globe, the LED itself is silicon and the bulb has
power circuitry in the base that includes silicon circuitry. Perhaps you mean
something different by "active"?

The reset switch could be in the base of the bulb, like you said, which people
have to remove the bulb from the light socket, switch the reset switch ON,
insert the bulb, turn on the bulb (which causes the reset to occur), turn off
the bulb at the light switch, remove the bulb from the socket,

Most of my light bulbs are LED lights which definitely have a bunch of active
silicon.

We might have to re-think that old joke about how many it takes to
change a light bulb
I think there is something similar for my Light Sensor on my automatic
lighting or it might have been the generation before on a timer...

want active silicon inside my light-bulb assembly.
Remote operation of lights can be achieved by installing active silicon
in a control panel that operates a bank of switches.

This procedure saves them the cost of a reset switch in the bulb
circuitry. A switch that they cannot

If you need to reset the software in your GE smart light bulb --
firmware version 2.8 or later -- just follow these easy instructions:
Start with your bulb off for at least 5 seconds.
Turn on for 8 seconds
Turn off for 2
