I love my Ring products and these PAR38 LED Outdoor bulbs are a great addition to my backyard porch. Setup was mostly easy, although after installing the first, adding the second was problematic as the app kept confusing it as the first. I had to temporarily power off the first one then add the second. Also, during setup a firmware upgrade happened automatically. When that completed the app said the light couldn't connect to the bridge. This was only momentarily and did reconnect on its own. I suspect the light had to reboot or something and lost connection to the bridge for that. Patience. The one thing I do not like is that you cannot share smart lights with other users as you can with other Ring Devices. Tech support confirmed this with me after troubleshooting. So, for now only I can manage the lights. This is an inconvenience, but I have a workaround: since Alexa can control the lights, my wife merely asks Alexa to turn them on/off. She can't edit their configuration, but thats ok. At least we have a way for both of us to control them on/off via Alexa and the Alexa app. Overall, I have very happy with the lights.

I didn’t know that I had to spend more money to get this working. You have to buy a bridge so it’s actually just being used as just a flood light.

The bulb is superb! I really love the fact that I can control it from my phone and the light can be dimmed.
