Why is this not working?

I can't pass this code challenge, there is something wrong with my function in WifiLamp class i think...

protocols.swift 
// Declare protocol here
protocol ColorSwitchable {
    func switchColor(color: Color) -> WifiLamp{
    }
}

enum LightState {
  case On, Off
}

enum Color {
  case RGB(Double, Double, Double, Double)
  case HSB(Double, Double, Double, Double)
}

class WifiLamp: ColorSwitchable {
  let state: LightState
  var color: Color

  init() {
    self.state = .On
    self.color = .RGB(0,0,0,0)
  }

  func switchColor(color: Color) {
        self.color = color
    }
}

In the ColorSwitchable protocol, the method switchColor should not have a return type (you are saying it will return a WifiLamp). Also you don't need the curly braces because you are defining the method signature, not the implementation in the protocol. It is set to conform to the protocol though so that should fix it!
