The more you have the better it gets!
I got one bulb for a lamp in my living room. Once I got the app and understood how to use it I was really impressed at how I could change the bulb to any shade of white or any color for that matter. The bulb is also dimming and connects to your home network to further connect to Apple HomeKit and Siri, and also Alexa and google. A few months later I ended up getting several more bulbs. When I get home I can tell Siri or Alexa “turn on downstairs lights” or I can set the mood for relaxing or watching a movie simply by saying dim lights to 30% and make color blue. Very fun and functional Lights.

Amazing in a small room
These lifx smart bulbs are a great and cheap option to optimize your home and turn it into a smart home. they are very bright and cost less than the hue lights bulb, their greatest benefit is that you don't need a hub to make them work. They connect to the WiFi individually to function. Although this is what sets it apart it is also the reason they are being held back. having multiple of these bulbs will saturate your router (WiFi) because each one of them needs to be connected to the WiFi at all times. So replacing your while house with these lights might not be a good idea. They are great for small offices, rooms, table lamps and such environments. The hue lights are great because only the hub has to be connected to the WiFi, therefore you can have more than 10 light bulbs in the house and only one device connected to the WiFi and that operates them all. Having said that the Lifx are still a great option for those seeking for a cheaper more convenient but just as good smart lighting option for their room, office or even a coffe table lamp.

Pretty cool light bulb
I really like this light bulb. The setup was really easy and it looks super cool! I have all kinds of schedules set on mine so at 6am it wakes me up with a bright white light and at 10pm it turns to a really dim purple before turning off at 2am while im asleep. My apartment is pretty small so i love how much it lights up the place. Definitely Worth the buy.

Hate to Love
I hope the price of these smart bulbs starts dropping soon. It's just counter-intuitive to spend $30+ for a light bulb--but--this is more than just a light bulb. Setup is a piece of cake with the Lifx app. Works perfectly with Google Assistant. No hub required. More color choices than you can use in a lifetime. Dim/Bright/Color/Effects are all fun. I took one star off because I just wish they were cheaper, but in terms of functionality, they've been flawless. So LIFX: Shut up and take my money. I'll be back for more of these.

Easy Set-up, Does the job.
Replaced some small 40w CLF lights with LIFX - Mini 800-Lumen, 9W Dimmable A19 LED Light Bulb, 60W Equivalent - Multicolor. Three bulbs as part of a kitchen island group. I'm able to "group" them to turn on the kitchen lights all at once. The switch was in an out of the way place, so this is a nice improvement: "Hey, Siri, turn on the kitchen lights!" You can change to different colors to set a mood. The setup was painless. I have an Apple HomePod (Siri) set-up. Using your smart phone, you can scan a code on a card that comes with bulbs (each code is specific to a bulb). You can then group the bulbs to function as one with commands. In my set, one bulb is often a little slower to respond and today it didn't turn on with the others and the app said it wasn't responding, I unscrewed it and screwed it back in and it worked again. Will keep my eye on that one as these are expensive bulbs. So there can be a few "bugs." See images.
