Thanks @cookiemonsteruk , I'll have a go tomorrow, would I just repeat the steps to turn 5GHz back on after I've installed the smart bulb? Many thanks.

The easiest way if you want to revert would be to log on as above and untick enable wifi do the change and then tick it again

The method above i used so as i could add 2.4 devices without going thru the whole disable/enable everytime
