Basically the title. I have a lamp with 5 bulbs (IKEA Tradfri) when I flip the main light switch 6 times to reset all bulbs, they all at the same time blink and reset. The "Permit join (All)" is enabled, and it only finds 3 bulbs at a time, sometimes 2, but never more.

I then do it again, reset all at once and try to add them again.

But by flipping the switch for all bulbs, I also remove the already found ones from HA. Is there a way to go through them one by one?
I thought about removing all and adding only one, add it to HA and so on. But this seems like a lot of work and I was hoping there is a better way to do this.

You could also just turn a bulb at a time until you're at the point where it's barely connected with the socket and turning it any further will result in it not being connected and therefor not receiving electricity.

Then just turn the slightest bit 6 times and back so it switches between being on and off, then just pair it. Do the same with all the others
