A brilliantly well-made Aussie product!
Absolutely Love LIFX! This newer upgrade version allows for an easy setup without having to scan codes. Truly just one of the best smart light bulbs on the market with no need for a hub. I have supported LIFX since 8 years ago and have not stopped buying their products! Excellent quality, easy to use interface and unparalleled hues!

Excellent Smart Bulb
I really like these smart bulbs. Their bright colors sold me over the Phillips Hue. I currently own 4 and intend to get more. They can be expensive but I feel they are worth it. Can do a lot of neat things with IFTTT. I'm one of those guys that never really likes to keep my phone actually on me when I am at home so its nice to have my LIFX bulbs flash different colors if I receive a text message or miss a call.

BEST SMART BULB - 12 UNITS NOW AND COUNTING
LIFX is doing all my smart home environment on lighting and I’m pretty happy. With twelve bulbs, two switches and counting I chose and I’m investing in LIFX over brands like Philips Hue, GE CYNC and Sengled and I have no regrets. My first A19 bulb purchase date from 2018 and it is still live & kicking just like those I’ve purchased a few months ago. I confess that I was quite apprehensive with the recent acquisition of assets by the Feit Electric, but I could already notice some improvements in the functionality and responsiveness of the server with a firmware update. A strange and still unexplained thing that I’ve noticed was the change of MAC Addresses (last two characters) after a firmware update (v3.90), and it required some work since I use MAC Filtering on my router. I would very much like to see some boldness in design and functionality on the switch side. It's amazing to see what Chinese brands are doing with LCD screens and even communication features, but the most reputable US brands are stuck and limited on current standards.

Best Smart Bulb
The LIFX bulbs are the best smart bulbs in my opinion. They are brighter than the Philips Hue and they do not require a hub. They work with the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot without IFTTT but you can still use IFTTT if you want to do more with them. The app is decent and will only get better over time. Setup is extremely easy via the app. As an Android fan, I will admit that the iOS app seems to work better. There are a ton of color options and the Whites are very bright. The only draw back is that I sometimes run into issues with having the Echo change colors. If I don't word my request correctly, Alexa doesn't play nice. I have five bulbs (with 2 on order to make 7) and one of my bulbs had an issue changing colors via the Echo. After doing some digging online, I found a post on reddit and the person said to add the word "The" in front of the device name. That fixed my issue. I hope that LIFX releases more bulbs to compete with the other Philips bulbs and Hue friends.

Hard to Pair, Flawless Once Set Up!
I had my doubts at first but I honestly love this bulb! The bulb does get a little toasty so definitely don't use this in an enclosed housing and the set up process for verifying the WiFi network through the LIFX app were the only shortfalls but beyond that, everything works as advertised! The app lets you control the exact hue, opacity and brightness to let you exactly customize your color setup which works perfectly! I like how you can also come up with personal color settings that you can flip to really quickly. The light schedule was also a nice touch! 10/10 would recommend and I plan on getting more for my movie room!
