That’s great news! Can you point out the pins? How do you open the bulb without breaking?
I don’t have the lamp with me now, will post photos once I get back.
Opening the bulb was easy, just twist the diffuser and pry or pop with some force and it opens.
It’s working Smitch 10 w RGB bulb I flash WLED on switch smart bulb is working fine I share the details 4 LED bulb flash with WLED please find attached document to flash your bulb do you need any information please contact me at my email address share all files and RX and TX and 3.3 volt and ground win connections and modified files
How do i connect with you? Can you please share your email. I am also stuck in a similar situation and need to flash WLED on my smitch RGB bulb. I have some experience with WLED, i have deployed a strip light on my ceiling with ESP32 using WLED. Can you please help me with this?
Here is the guide I made for any layman.

Can you please point out the GPIO00 pin on the board? Also i’d like to know how to flash it using an ESP32. Will directly flashing the ESP32 also flash the smitch board ( connected through jumper wires) ?
and if you are using esp32 as serial flasher then connect the “en” or the reset pin to the ground pin to disable the onboard esp chip and make it able to flash other hardware. Then connect the Tx to Tx and Rx to Rx from esp32 to bulb. Now you can just flash using your pc connected to esp32.

I am using ESP32 and bulb.
I am connecting EN (of ESP32) pin to GND ( of ESP 32).
Also connecting GPIO00 (of bulb) to GND (of bulb).
And RX(of ESP32) to RX (of bulb)
TX(of ESP32) to TX (of bulb).
Am i doing this correct?
What do i have to do with the VCC pin of the bulb?
vcc to 3.3v of your esp32. be sure its 3.3 pin not 5v pin and dont connect ac main to bulb.
I have successfully programmed the bulb using your method. Thanks.
But i have a problem. When i am connecting directly to the VCC and GND pin of the E3L chip on the front side ( directly to microcontroller) it works (i.e., shows up as an instance in WLED app) (already configured). But when i use the back side of the chip ( in which the jumper wires were initially connected) for VCC and GND; and power them using my ESP 32 then it doesn’t show up as an instance in WLED app.
Also when it is uncovered ( not inside the bulb cabinet) and i power it directly from mains it doesn’t show up in WLED app (even when it has been configured) and i am unable to use it.
Does it happen with you also?
Will it only work in the bulb cabinet only (after it has been covered) from mains?
No u must be doing something wrong mine works both ways.
Maybe you have installed the 4mb flash version.
Try this 2mb flash size https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/releases/download/v0.15.0/WLED_0.15.0_ESP02.bin
https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/releases/download/v0.15.0/WLED_0.15.0_ESP8266.bin
I had installed this flash
its flash for 4mb boards.
also make sure u have short circuited pins while soldering.
Also i have a Smitch white light. So i guess, its microcontroller and connection will also be the same. I just have to know the pinouts of the microcontroller ,i.e., what pin corresponds to what signal. Do you have any information on that?
you can seach for that in here Smitch 10W CCT Bulb (SB0310 - B22) Configuration for Tasmota
