Way better than WeMo
Pros: Quick setup (took less than 2 minutes). Adjustable white tone (from bright LED white to a soothing more typical yellow). Responsive (takes about 1 second to respond to your input). Works with multiple platforms. Self contained (no wallwart to plug in like the WeMo requires, all the wireless is contained in the base of the light). Easy to group multiple lights. Easy to set wakeup and sleep times. Easy to manage remotely (away from home). Includes a fade in and fade out where you can specify the fade time (i.e. 30 second fade in), nice feature for those who don't like a stark awakening. Cons: It is a little heavy, so if you have a teardrop lamp that is light it could cause it to tip. However, we put it in cheap piece of junk $5 Walmart lamp and it works just fine. So after getting a Lifx bulb I decided to try WeMo. I bought two WeMo kits, after 3 hours on with their help desk at tier two (meaning the first tier of help desk could not help), and with two different styles of wireless I gave up on WeMo. I am planning to spend about $1,000 over the next year to get my whole house switched to LiFx. They just freaking rock!

Works well
I set this up pretty fast. I like that it works with my wifi and does not need a separate hub to control it. I have been using it with IFTTT and Amazon Echo and it is pretty awesome. When I get home from work late at night, I set it so that it turns on automatically. The price of most smart lights is a little on the high side, but I am hoping this bulb will last a long time.

Wireless lights
Let me start by saying yes they are a bit pricey $65 for the bolt that does not have different colors and 100 for the one that does That being said it only burns $1.35 worth of electricity year per light. They are very bright very beautiful the colored ones that is and yes I would recommend these if you're on a budget not so much but they do and would pay for themselves in a year or two as far as the savings for electricity. Yep is easy settings are easy you can set these lights to come on and go off at various times with your iPhone or android operating system I saw these on a go fund me webpage they are well worth the money expected lifespan 23 years yes I would recommend

These bulbs produce a really good light
I have in my house philips hue bulbs (both color and just white) I also have LIFX bulbs (color and white) Let me say, these lights as lights are really good for LED's. They produce a really good amount of light, and the LIFX app integration is excellent. These bulbs only produce white light, but can be set from The best thing about the app to me is that you can drag your finger across the bulb icon and set the timer to dim the bulb then eventually turn it off. I usually do this when getting ready for bed, I will set the bulb to dim out over 15 minutes, and by the time I am all tucked into bed the bulb goes out. My main complaint about the bulb is that, unlike the HUE bulb which seems to work with everything, this bulb doesn't work with such things as my amazon echo. I would swap out my hue bulbs in the kitchen with this in a heartbeat if I could control them with the amazon echo. With the HUE bulbs I can just say to my amazon echo to turn off the bulbs, or dime them to 25% or whatever but with the LIFX bulbs to dim them I have to find my phone or open an app somewhere. I know, first world problems right? but just reviewing these. I did buy three lights, and one of them would buzz loudly, sent an e-mail to LIFX and they created an RMA to return the bulb and they sent me a new one.

Excellent LED Wi-Fi light for any room
This is an excellent LED Wi-Fi light for any room in your house. The app to control the light is easy to use in adjusting to various white tones and brightness depending on the mood and feel you want to set. This smart LED light can be used as a night light that will come on automatically while away on vacation.
