If your tired of the old boring color when you turn on your lights and want something that sets your mood, then I highly recommend installing these bulbs! Filling up your room with different kinds of colors can effect your mood in a positive way. Also if you like to make videos like me then having different color background will make it stand out more. Setting up the app is easy and it takes about a minute or two before you start playing with it. $60 is a lot but it can make your room feel different and more interesting. Must Buy!

I read many reviews before i decided to go with LIFX over the Hue phillips for one i like the idea of not having a Hub. with LIFX all you have to do is install run the app and connect them to your house internet once u have that you can control all the lights you installed simple as that. a tip if you have more then 1 light installed make sure all lights firmware are updated you check on the app this is to make sure they work in sync such as choosing the same color for all the lights at the same time or you can individually set their own color to create a nice atmosphere. as long as your wifi is stable you shouldn't run into problems. another tip is to make sure the lights are powered or you will not be able to find the lights in the app to change color, you can leave them powered on then turn off the light within the app this keep the light off but your power switch it still on so u can turn back on with the app instead of walking up to switch hope that makes sense. try out the effects and preset colors they are pretty fun to explore.

I use 2 br30's as flood lights. I love the color 1000's I have 2 BR30's and 24 A19's. I can light my whole house up inside and out the same color or have each room a different color. Or when I wanna be plain I keep me white!

I had an opportunity to purchase a new hue bulb kit at a significant discount. I placed 6 Hue lights into my living room recessed light fixtures and was very underwhelmed by the lack of brightness and color reproduction. I wanted to keep them, but even at such a great discount they were too expensive to live in a cave and not be happy. I decided to double-check what was out there. All the reviews on the LIFX bulbs talked about how much brighter and accurate the color reproduction was. Honestly, those reviews were 100% correct. These LIFX bulbs are awesome! Brightness and color reproduction is exceptional. The app is more user-friendly than the Hue app, especially when changing colors. White light temperature levels can be changed too! From candlelight like yellow to bright white/blue daylight. Side benefit is no hub is required which was not a deal breaker for me, but I appreciate it as my desk was getting rather crowded. Downsides I can think of is sometimes the app lags a fraction of a second or very rarely a bulb within a group wont turn off when commanded. I rectified this by changing my WiFi channel to a less used channel - instructions I received from the friendly support team at LIFX. Oh and the bulbs needed an update which took awhile after failing a few times. More annoying than anything. If you are considering smart bulbs and you either a) want the brightest option b) want the best color reproduction or c) don’t want another hub, then the LIFX bulbs are it hands down.

The LIFX line of smart bulbs do a reasonably good job a good price. I bought this bulb to replace a LIFX Color 1000 A19 bulb that I was using in a recessed fixture over a table that called for a BR30 bulb. My wife didn't like how the A19 bulb looked because you could see around the bulb. This one fits great and made wifey happy since it looks good. My only issue was that the A19 color 1000 put out visibly more light at its highest settings. I usually control the bulb with Amazon Echo which is very cool, however, the echo sometimes cannot find the bulb so I either need to manually switch it off and back on or use the app. The LIFX App is super easy to use and way better than the Philips Hue App. Be aware that the LIFX bulbs are connected to your wifi and if you have a large number of these bulbs you coud experience some problems. The Philips Hue system requires a bridge but then no matter how many bulbs you use (up tot he bridge limit, I think 255) you only use one wifi connection.
