Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was interested in diving into the "smart home" scene and this kit fit the bill. This Sengled Element kit brought all the necessary items to set up a Smart Bulb network including the smart hub, 3 daylight (yellow) led smart bulbs as well as all the needed cables. After connecting the smart hub to my network and downloading the smartphone app I was greeted with a mandatory firmware update for the hub that had no indication of when the process was complete. Luckily everything went smoothly and I had the bulbs up and running in minutes. As mentioned earlier the kit comes with 3 bulbs, but it is expandable (up to 64 bulbs) and you can assign multiple bulbs into rooms so they all power on/off at the same time if you want them to. The smartphone app isn't very visually stimulating but it is very feature filled giving you detailed information about the bulbs. The smart led bulbs actually have built in dimmers, so using the bulbs you can have mood lighting for no additional cost! I expected this smart home bulb kit to have a locked down approach in terms of playing friendly with other brands, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a large list of vendors and accounts in the smartphone app. I had my Google Home and Alexa accounts linked in no time and was glad to see so much openness in a consumer product. TLDR: Smart hub + 3 led bulbs (yellow light), works with Google and Alexa voice commands, smartphone app is feature filled. This is a great starting kit for smart home lighting. Feel free to ask me any questions about this bulb kit.

I am using it a lot. Very useful practical. Excellent product

This is not my first venture into smart light bulbs. I have others, including some that work directly with Alexa with no hub intervention. But this package was easy to set up and get working. Plug in the hub into one of the Ethernet connections on your router; turn all the bulbs on; download and install the Sengled Element Home software on your smartphone; open the app, and follow the instructions. The only hitch I ran into is that the three bulbs found and identified in the app are named Bulb 1, Bulb 2 and Bulb 3. I had two of them in the dining room lamps and one above the kitchen table, and since each installation was going to be in a different group, I had to physically unscrew two of the bulbs and exchange their location. I was not able to switch them on and off to locate which bulb was where before defining the location: they could only be controlled as a unit. But once the location was defined, then the lights could individually be turned on and off. I then added the Sengled Element Home skill to Alexa and established control over the bulbs in that app. And my commands to turn them on and off were instantly obeyed. The bulbs have a nice, pleasant, soft color temperature, and the brightness for each bulb can be fully adjusted within the Element Home App. The hub does not require a physical Ethernet connection once set up. If you want to move it away from the router and use wi-fi, you simply unplug the power to the unit, wait a minute, move it to the desired location, and power it back on. Somehow the app locates it and you are back in business. Just keep it within the wi-fi range of your router, and you are set.

Pros Competitively priced No flicker even at lowest setting Ramps gradually between settings Includes bridge if you don’t have a smart hub Compatible with Zigbee HA smart hubs like SmartThings Quick response time Tracks energy usage when using Sengled Hub Has an option to be wireless or hardwired Cons Using with third party hub limits some features Sengled app is confusing Sengled hub only allows 3 schedules Included instructions are vague Includes ethernet jack but setup defaults to Wi-Fi Ranges is very short when using Sengled hub With smart bulbs becoming more commonplace, more manufacturers are adding color smart bulbs to their product line. The Sengled Element Color Plus 3-pack with hub is one of the latest offerings from Sengled. Although it includes Sengled’s own wireless bridge, the bulbs are compatible with several smart home hubs that support the Zigbee HA protocol. The design of the bulbs looks just like a standard soft white bulb when off. They come already paired with the included hub although the instructions are very vague on this. It tells you to search for Sengled Element Home app and not much else. Sengled does have a YouTube channel with some very helpful videos. Options vary based on the smart home hub you use but, in the end, you sacrifice some features when adding them to your hub instead of the included one. If you decide to use the included hub you will find you gain the ability to group the bulbs and control them as if they were one. You also gain the ability to monitor power usage and hours on for each bulb while restricting yourself to only 3 schedules a day. The included app feels a bit confusing and unrefined as well. Another downside is you lose integration with other smart hubs and only have integration with Google Assistant and Alexa. It isn’t hard to reconfigure the bulbs for either option so it might be best to first test using with the hub as they are set up from the factory and then try connecting them with your smart hub to see which has the features you value most. For anyone with an existing compatible smart hub you will most likely be better served skipping the Sengled hub. To pair with a new setup, a quick factory reset can be issued by turning your light switch off and on 10 times. The instructions don’t say this, but their YouTube channel does. Hopefully in the future Sengled will add more features to their apps for other smart platforms which would add further value to the product. Regardless of how you choose to control them the overall behavior is the same. On and off controls are instant with no ramp or down in brightness. Once the command is issued the bulbs respond quickly. When changing brightness or color for bulbs that are already on the bulbs instead ramp to the different brightness or color. The different between methods feels less refined but still does the job just fine. Ideally a configurable ramp rate would be better as gradual ramp of brightness can give users the ability to create a more sophisticated lighting setup. Overall color reproduction is good but, just as any other colored bulb, darker colors are hard to produce with most color shades being from medium to bright. Some colors, such as turquoise, are harder to create and can sometimes appear white. Others, such as orange appear slightly off but still acceptable. More basic colors such as white, blue, red, and yellow come out looking very nice and distinct. The bulbs can be adjusted down to 1% brightness without any sense of flicker or buzz. Without measuring equipment, it is hard to verify but the 1% brightness seems a lot more like 10 or even 20% brightness which is still good. Overall dispersion of light is very even with no detectable hot spots and the feeling is very similar to the even glow of an incandescent bulb. Sengled seems to have done a nice job with this kit. Long term reliability and support are hard to determine but if first impressions mean anything they have a bright future if they continue to improve. Although the hub and app are a little rough around the edges, the same could be said with even more mature smart products. Even with some interface oddities the overall product works reliably and there is something to be said about offering a kit that has more color bulbs and a hub for less than competitors without feeling distinctly cheap.. Combine that with compatibility with several other smart hub platforms and it becomes much easier to see the value in these bulbs. If you are in the market for some color changing light bulbs and are willing to give a lessor known company a chance to save some money the Sengled Element Color Plus bulbs can be a good fit.

Haven't used any of Sengled products before, so was curious to see how this compares to the ones in the market. Installed one in the bedroom primarily to use it as night/TV lamp and one in the living room to use it as a daytime lamp. Installed one in the office room as well. Pros (out of 5 stars) Seamless integration with Samsung Smart things and Google home (should work with amazon echo as well).Works well for the Zigbee range. Was able to control the lights using google assistant voice commands. Working on setting up routines (like red when CO alarm triggers and white when motion sensor triggers, etc) for lights to automatically turn on and turn off with other sensors - 5/5 Definitely impressed by the selection of colors (good, bright and vivid) and dimmable range (using Scenes option on hub app). Matches with the competitor product (that has similar selection) that I have been using for the last 3 years. I especially like the sunrise color option that gets triggered with my wake up alarm at mornings. I liked (for reading) the white light that has a little blue cast on it (60W with 6500k) for my office room - 5/5 Price is relatively cheaper (~25% cheaper) to the well-known branded ones in the market and offers similar options and selection on color and dimness. The bulbs itself are cheaper (could go cheaper to light up a big house with 12 rooms ;-) ) if you want to add more to the hub. Can't comment on reliability yet for the price offered, so will have to test it for couple months to rate it higher than 4 - 4/5 Doesn't get hot! This was a big concern on a cheaper one that I bought and had to discard as it posed a fire hazard. Cons (room for improvement) Price can go cheaper, still in the lower price range compared to branded ones Don't believe it can be used outdoor/patio. Wanted one that can withstand outdoor temperatures and moisture - None in the market so far Wish they had the strip light that can go with the hub, don't have to buy a different brand to complete the home kit Wish it came with a remote for non-app users (for kids) Definitely worth the money if you are looking to light up a big house (64 units max) for lower cost. Will update this review after couple months of use and test it out on other 3rd party hubs

The Sengled Element Color Plus Light kit comes with 3 color A19 bulbs and a hub. It has the ability to connect to Google Home or Amazon Alexa controls. They are controlled by an app on your iOS or Android device(s). Installation – The Element Color Plus installation was fairly easy. Download the app, plug in ethernet cord to hub, plug in power to hub, and install the light bulbs. It’s important to note that your router must have a 2.4 Ghz band to operate the device. Also, I recommend plugging directly into the router during installation. I tried to plug into my switch that connects to the router, and the installation failed every time. Once I plugged directly into the router it was fine. After the hub and lightbulbs were installed I changed the cord back to the network switch. During the installation I noticed that the power cord and the ethernet cord were oddly short (both less than 3 feet). This was a little bit of an issue for me because I have a lot of other stuff installed in my IT closet. Product Appearance – The hub is a pretty small device, about the size of a hockey puck. The bulbs are a normal shaped A19 bulb. They produce a very nice quality of light, and the 16 million available colors are bright and vivid. The color and light quality is what impressed me the most about this product. Product Use – The control speed from the app is very fast. There’s not much of a lag while controlling the light bulbs. All of the settings are controlled through the app. The App – First, the app that I downloaded doesn’t look anything like the product pictures shown on the Best Buy website. I don’t know if they have changed the app/GUI since the product first came out, but you can see from the pictures that I am posting that it’s different. The features in the app work well. There are separate controls if you want to use it as a white light bulb vs a color bulb. The white bulb controls have factory saved colors of white light such as Edison, Warm, Neutral, Cool, and Daylight. This changes the color temperature from an orange/yellow up to a bright white. There are also separate brightness controls. The color controls use a color selection panel that allows you to pin point the color that you would like to use. There are some factory preset scenes, but they are pretty limited. One of the biggest issues that I had with this product is that it says that you can save your own scenes, but I (and others) could not find this option. This is one of the main reasons that I wanted this set, and I can’t use it for what I want. Light bulbs can be grouped together as rooms or fixtures. You can name the groups and the individual light bulbs which will help if you want to be more specific with voice commands through Google or Alexa. You can set schedules through a built-in app feature. Also, there’s a lot of information in the app about the energy usage, power cycles, and time that the bulb is connected. As a whole, the features in the app work, but the general app layout is clunky. Overall, the bulbs seem to be very good and produce bright, high quality light. The app is underdeveloped and is clearly the weak link in this product. If the app could be brought up to speed, then this could easily be a 5 star product.

Great value! You get 3 smart lights plus the hub. All the lights are pre-registered with the hub, so after a quick firmware update, I had it up and going in about 10 minutes. Within a few minutes after that, I had it setup with my Echo, using Alexa to amusingly turn the lights on and off for me. I understand the complaint of the wireless password needing to be extra secure, but I just used it in wired mode directly into my router. Personally, my only gripe is that the app is a bit clunky, and not super easy to get around. Overall, easily one of the best values to get started with smart lighting!

The Sengled Element Color Plus kit comes with 3 color tuneable bulbs and the Sengled Element Hub. The Element hub is a Zigbee based hub used to connect and control the bulbs, as well as allow Google Home or Amazon Alexa control. The hub also allows you to control the bulbs while you are away from home via the app. The bulbs are full RGB controllable (16 million colors) A19 (standard bulb shape and base), and are equivalent in brightness to 60W incandescent bulbs. The bulb life is rated to 25,000 hours (8.5 years of 8 hours a day, every day). Setting up the kit is a straightforward process. I connected the Element Hub via ethernet (cable provided) to my router. I downloaded the Sengled Element Home App for Android, and followed along to connect to my hub. After that adding a bulb was pretty easy. I selected the room it went into, gave it a name, and moved onto the next bulb to repeat the process. I ordered 2 more bulbs (Element Classics 2700K) on Black Friday to put in my bedroom, so I will have to repeat this process once they arrive. The Element Hub can configure and control 64 individual bulbs from across Sengled’s lineup, so 2 more should be no problem. Within the app I could group 2 bulbs I put in the same fixture and give it a name. Individually those bulbs are bulb 2 and 3, but to the app they are grouped under one name. Grouping them together allows me to set the color and brightness of each bulb to the same setting. Or if I want to, I can drill down into the app menu and change each bulb individually. I have these 2 bulbs in my kids’ room, and they like the lights set to different colors each night. Last night I set them to be pink for my daughter, and blue for my son. Other nights they have wanted green or orange, and I (and the bulbs) have been happy to oblige. I can push their brightness way down, and set a timer in the app and these bulbs become the perfect nightlight that will auto shutoff. I used the other bulb (bulb 1) in my living room. I like to watch TV and movies late at night, and the options I had were: 1 – watch in the dark and get a headache from eye strain, or 2 – leave my end table light on and wash out my TV in deep black scenes. I already have red biased lighting beneath my TV which helps a bit when watching without the lights on, but still not enough. With the Color Plus bulb I turn the brightness down below 20% and set the color to red, and with that my eye strain is diminished greatly. For Google Home integration I added the Sengled skill to my profile, and added the bulbs in the same grouping as I did in my element app. Now I just tell my speaker to turn the living room light on, and it does. The same goes for the lights in my kids’ room. However, I do have to explicitly add the ‘s’ to the end of light when I ask Google to do something to my kids’ lights (e.g. Hey Google, turn off the kids’ lights). Otherwise it gets confused, and doesn’t know which bulbs I’m talking about. Also, I like my bulb color to be in the soft/warm white range (2700K), so the name for that color (when talking to my Google Home) is either soft white or warm white. I only have a couple of issues with the Sengled, and that comes down mostly to the app. I have used the app to set a schedule for my living room light to come on right around when I get home. I would rather tie that timing to the sunset. For instance, set it to turn on 2 hours before sunset or something to that effect. That would be better for energy efficiency, as well as just make more sense. Right now, it’s pitch black at 5 PM, but in 6 months it won’t get dark until 8. I have the light coming on at 4 (right before I get home), and this time of year it’s needed. In June I wouldn’t need the light to come on for another 2 hours, so I will have to manually adjust the schedule over the year. The other thing the app should have, at least in my opinion, is a ‘Party Mode’ for the color plus bulbs. Let’s not kid ourselves if you think you wouldn’t use it. I wish I could set it to pulse the colors, and then let my kids have a dance party. They would love it. Overall the Sengled bulbs are great. The color tuning is easy and intuitive, and the full RGB range is awesome. I love the hub’s offsite control of the bulbs. The app could use a little bit of sorting out, and better organization - the schedules should have its own tab to be honest. This is a good starter kit, and it saves a couple of bucks over piecing it together individually.

This is our first step into "smart light bulbs." I decided we didn't need bulbs that change hue, and I didn't want to spend a ton on the "smartness" functionality. The Sengled 3-pack w/ hub seemed like a great place to start. Having only owned these bulbs for a week, I cannot talk to their longevity but so far they seem just fine. It felt like they weren't quite as bright as some of our other LEDs but nonetheless, they were bright enough when set to "full power." [It seems like there is little consistency across all brands of LED when it comes to lumens. I might be overcritical on my assumption of brightness with the Sengled bulb.] Owning only 3 Sengled bulbs, I cannot talk to the claim that you can hook up to 64 bulbs to a hub, but the setup process was fairly simple. I did find it odd that I had to use a network cable to configure a wifi device...and I found the instructions with the packaging to be a bit "brief" but nonetheless, it was essentially a 5 step process that took only a few minutes to configure. Once I had my hub online I removed it from the router and placed it elsewhere in the house. Everything still worked! [Hub distance to farthest bulb is about 2 rooms away on the same floor, drywall construction.] I do wish the hub had USB power input instead of a proprietary pin adapter. The proprietary power source is the main reason I took away a rating star. One mistake I made was putting a Sengled smart bulb in a frequently used side-table lamp. Our family is not quite used to voice commands or cell phones to activate lights. This particular side table lamp is best controlled by hand, not phone/Alexa/Google. We will be moving that bulb to a lesser used lamp eventually. Where I see value in the smart bulb is with secondary lights that you may want to control automatically for mood or security lighting either by voice or by schedule. For example, we have a back patio light that we want to have on at about 50% brightness most nights. A smart bulb on a schedule is perfect for that. When watching a movie we have a lamp opposite the TV that can provide "mood lighting" at 25% brightness so it is convenient to say "Hey Google, turn on the movie lamp at 25% brightness." A feature that these bulbs do not have, that I wish they did, was some form of "motion sensor." For example, it would be nice if there was a way for the app/bulb to detect me pulling into the garage at night and automatically turning on the kitchen light. [Not sure if that technology exists with any smart bulb/app, though. Maybe through a tool like IFTTT?] As for the "Hey Google" or "Alexa" commands, we are Google people and I found it fairly easy to set up the device as part of the Google Home app so that we could use Google Assistant to control the lights. The built-in app is not exactly "feature rich" but has the tools you need to group lights in rooms, power individual or groups lights on/off, set dimming levels and schedule multiple on/off times. I was able to turn lights on/off from work which was cool (for me at least, maybe not for my wife who was wondering what was going on). The app has an easy to understand interface and will dim icons when lights are off, illuminate icons when lights are on--which helps you quickly identify on the phone what lights are turned on in the house. Overall, I am happy I chose to get smart home my toes wet with Sengled. They offer the right set of features for the right price in a simple to use starter pack. Add-on bulbs appear to be fairly inexpensive and are available through numerous online outlets. I hope they continue to add features without requiring us to replace or upgrade hubs...but if they do make us change the hub down the road, I hope they may the power plug USB compatible.

PROs: - Combines the best of both types of Smart-bulb lighting capabilities - virtually infinite color adjustment as well as five common presets for white color temperature and manual sliders for fully adjustable color temperature & brightness - Seamlessly integrated with both Alexa and Google Home in addition to more direct/precise control in the companion 'Element Home' app...voice commands easily adjusted color, brightness, and white temperature - The included Element control hub (which can handle up to 64 devices at a time, and not just light bulbs!) isn't much larger than a hockey puck...operates off of your own router via included Ethernet cable (nice!) or wireless via 2.4Ghz wireless - Although virtually nothing comes with a full instruction manual any more, the included mini quick start-up card had enough information to get the entire setup online inside of about 10 minutes - The companion Element Home app included an easy-to-find FAQ covering installation basics, configuration, and troubleshooting questions--it was nice not to have to go to the website to locate additional information right off the bat (the app even indicated and installed a firmware update during initial setup!) - Rudimentary scheduling allows for a wake-up (turn-on) schedule as well as two other preset on/off, brightness and color temp combinations over a period of time to include a one-time event or varying schedule across different hours of the day and days of the week - Easy grouping of lights within the app (for example, all 3 in a ceiling fan) ensures precise color/brightness matching between bulbs CONs: - As is, these bulbs provide a bit more functionality than others I've sampled which will adjust either color temperature for whites, or colors per se (which means "white" is usually more of an incandescent yellow), but not both; that said, they are a bit more expensive than other adjustable color smart bulbs so outfitting an entire house or large floor-plan could start getting pricey - The included power connector for the Element Hub has a USB A connector at one end (for powering via included USB-to-AC plug-in, a spare cell phone charger, open port on a USB hub or PC, a USB port on a router, etc.) but a smaller round power adapter at the hub end...this means if you lose the power cord, you can't just grab a spare USB mini, micro, or USB-C cable - The bulbs remember their last color and brightness settings after they're turned back on, but it would be nice to save color presets for 1-touch access to multiple custom settings depending on the situation (i.e. a color/brightness combo for movies, parties, dinner, morning wake-up, etc.) - It feels like there is a lot more bulbs as capable as these could do if only the app supported the functionality--what about unattended color changing for a rainbow effect or breathing/pulsing for parties or even just a "save current" under the color settings Summary review: With only a fledgling smart home network at this time (an Alexa-enabled TV, a Google Home Mini, a water/leak monitor, and a Google Home-enabled speaker), these were my first real exposure to smart-bulb technology. Installation was painless though it was odd to have to connect something (the Element Hub) to a router via Ethernet for initial setup of the bulbs themselves...other bulbs I've used since trying these have connected directly to the WiFi router or wireless to a Google Home Mini. It's not a big deal to be sure, but just something to keep in mind in case your router isn't necessarily easy-access. Like the other smart-home devices I've used to date, these bulbs and the Element hub do NOT operate on the faster 5Ghz network channels...because you have to use the Element Home app to configure and control these units (at least initially), I had to re-connect my phone to my router's slower 2.4Ghz wireless network before proceeding. The entire family ooh'd and ah'd when we first fired up the colored bulbs in a ceiling fan to see what they'd look like next to a typical bright-white bulb (one of the photos down there in the corner). From there, the possibilities quickly became evident--mood lighting for a family dinner, wake-up lights to get our daughter out of bed and get ready for school, turn lights red when a smart sensor detects trouble, remote/vacation controls to adjust the lights throughout the house, quickly ensuring all lights are turned off before stepping out for the afternoon, etc. etc. etc.! We definitely appreciated the variable schedules available and with Alexa or Google Home integration, I easily adjusted lighting from outside the house with simple voice commands--very nice for turning on lighting in the hallways or bedrooms when we came home later than we figured to an otherwise dark house. Soon we realized services like Alexa could get fancy, too, recognizing voice commands for shades of white (warm, incandescent, white, daylight, cool, relaxed) as well as dozens and dozens of colors (imagine our surprise when Alexa said "OK" to color choices like "chocolate" or "mint cream" as well as magenta, blue, green, etc.). Again, if you're just starting out with some smart-home devices, this really is a great starter pack (and having 3 bulbs as opposed to a typical starter bundle's 2 was actually kind of nice) to give you a sense of everything smart-lighting is capable of providing. For example, the dashboard on the Element Home app tells you which lights are currently on and where. From there, you can turn them all on or off remotely, and you can start drilling down to controlling all lights in a group or each light individually (for instance, we played around with a Christmas theme in our kitchen's main fixture alternating between green and red lights) including how much power they're drawing at the time, how many times they've power cycled, total energy used, total hours in operation, etc.. The funny thing is, you don't really know how much you COULD use something like this kit for until you have the bulbs in your home and start seeing what all they can/could do. After a while, we grew to appreciate the flexibility of this Sengled starter bundle, but we also quickly realized the one area where the included app falls just a bit short in our opinion...there's no way to save a "theme" or custom set of color settings and easily call them back up at a later date. While I LOVE the ability to adjust the white color temperature to support keyboarding or office work, I'd really like a set of custom themes that I can easily call up (maybe even via an Alexa or Google voice command) without having to futz with individual color picker and brightness controls every time. Hopefully such capability will be available in a future app or firmware update. Their absence doesn't GREATLY detract from an otherwise stellar offering and the flexibility of being able to adjust both white color temperature and crazy-cool color settings in the same bulb increases the flexibility of these units throughout the house, but there's definitely more than could be included here that would push this set even further over the edge. Still, these bulbs are definitely a great way to get into the smart-home arena without needing a background in computer programming or home automation installation to do it--definitely recommended!

As technology has evolved I have purchased a lot of different types of gadgets and devices. They all work (some better than others), but they don’t work seamlessly, and I am starting to have a menagerie of various Wi-Fi lighting controls like a mess that I had years ago when I started adding peripherals from various manufacturers to a wired desktop computer. I’ve been looking for a system where I could control numerous lights, incorporate timers, dimmers and create various lighting levels as needed for different functions and times of day; and do this for both inside and outside my home. The Sengled Element Classic seemed to be able to meet my smart home lighting desires especially since it can perform all these functions and control up to 64 bulbs through one hub. I started with the Sengled Element Classic with three A-19 pear shaped bulbs. Best Buys sells the hub with 3 classic bulbs as opposed to just 2 as offered by other dealers. The hub was very easy to pair with my router and the bulbs paired almost as quickly and easily as the hub. I initially set up the timers on each of the 3 bulbs and checked to see if I needed to do a firmware update. The next day one of the bulbs had fallen offline and then the hub fell off line too. I re-paired the hub and each of the bulbs as they all fell off line 2-3 more times over the course of 7-10 days. Everything seems to have stabilize since, and two more weeks has pass. The bulbs are presently dimmed and on timers. If the light bulb is switched to the “Off” position, then the app will show that the bulb is offline. However, as soon as the switch is turned to the “ON” position, the bulb is online again and does not have to be re-paired. I can control the lights with either the app or through Alexa. The hub can remain wired to the router or wirelessly connected and positioned away from the router. I will be purchasing more bulbs and different types in order to build onto this system. There are numerous possibilities with the dimmer control, the pre-set scenes and timers to create a very professional lighting design throughout my entire home-both inside and out. I'm giving this product 4 stars because there isn't an opportunity to give it 4.5 stars. I cannot give it 5 stars because there was this slight difficulty in pairing the hub and lights and having them remain paired and stay online. All said and done, this is a very good product and it does what it says that it does.

This is my first set of smart bulbs so I was unsure of what I was getting into. I do own a Google Home smart speaker so I was interested to see how they would integrate and if they would function as I anticipated. First off, set-up went well. All you have to do is install an app, connect the smart hub to your router, install your bulbs, and then you are off and running. Then you can connect to your home Wi-Fi and start playing around in the app. Some of the best features of this product include: - The ability to turn lights on and off at the push of a button on your phone. - A huge variety of colors to choose from. - The ability to set timers for when your lights come on and off. This is perfect for if you are on vacation and want to make it appear that someone is still home. - Google Home integration (and Alexa too). I can use voice commands to not only turn the lights on and off, but also select the color I want. I was thoroughly pleased with this product and recommend it to anyone that is looking to add more automated features to their home. I just wish it came with 4 bulbs instead of 3 so that my ceiling fan would have a full compliment of lights. Guess I'll be going shopping for more!

I was looking for smart bulbs for our bedroom lamps. We previously used smart plugs to handle them, but because I'd pieced our smart home setup based on what was on sale at the time, there were several different apps that controlled the 3 lamps in our room. What attracted me to try out the Sengled setup was that it came with 3 bulbs, so everything we'd need was in the box. Getting everything setup was a breeze. The hub was already set to recognize the bulbs that shipped with it so I didn't have to fight with each bulb to pair them. Interestingly enough, the Hub requires a physical connection to my router but looked to the wifi setup for the bulbs. What wasn't cool was that I was out of outlets near my router. What I did find though, was that since the hub's power cable ends with a USB-A dongle, I was able to power it using an open USB port on my router itself. The app does leave some room to be desired, on my iPhone X, I didn't know that I had to scroll down to find a save button that was hidden when I was setting my timers. Also, while the bulbs support dimming, they come right on when the timer turns them on, so there's no gentle ramping up. If you want a basic, easy to use smart bulb setup that works with Alexa, then you should check these out.

This Sengled starter kit was pretty easy to setup with initial LAN connection then switching it to Wi-Fi. I used a Samsung Tablet as the main controller with the Sengled Element Home app. I was able to set it up with my Sony SRS-XB501G speaker with Google assistant. Control of the lights and their functions worked great with the app and Google assistant. I had an issue with setting up the first bulb by itself and then adding the other 2 the first bulb was not showing? I was able to add it though. The app is easy to use after some time with it. I have not tried the app with a phone so can't speak to the apps abilities with that. One bulb gives off enough light for a small room though 2 would be better. This is my first venture into Smart lighting and was impressed with Google assistant connectivity and ease of use. The color range is amazing and so is the white color range. If your in the market for a Smart bulb/hub setup I think the Sengled Color Plus Smart LED Starter Kit is a great place to start.

Nice little lighting kit. It comes with its control hub and 3 warm bulbs. Great way to start your smart home lightning. Setup was a breeze. All you have to do is connect the hub to a router via lan cable and download the ios/android app and follow the setup. Once done, you can use the app to turn the bulb on/off, you can also setup an automatic schedule, which was great for me. I like to leave my main door light on and sometimes I forget to turn it off, with this, I just set and schedule for it to turn off early morning, problem solved! You can also monitor your wattage/money spend!! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to save some money! Only con was the packaging, a little flimsy and it came pushed in, I'm glad the 3 bulbs survived the trip!

I wanted to get smart lighting for my room. They were all too easy to set up. Especially for someone that doesn’t have enough patience for something that seemed so tedious. These lights met all my needs. I have a dog that I keep in the room during the day while I’m away at work. I wanted affordable, but good lights that I could turn on with just a tap of a button from an app on my smart phone. The app is very user friendly and you can even schedule what time and day you need the bulbs to turn on or off. I can also adjust the brightness from the app for EACH bulb. I went as far as checking when the sun sets and created a schedule based on that. Now I won’t have to worry about my pup being in a dark room till I come home or leaving the lights on all day while I’m working. I have to say one downside and the reason for the 4-star review, I came home from work on 2 separate occasions and found the lights to just not be on. I’m not sure if it was an error on my part, something fishy with the WiFi or something else, but it just made me question how long my dog had been all alone in a dark room for. But other than that this product is totally worth it! Definitely a great purchase and I’m looking forward to buying more bulbs once I have a bigger and better place of my own.

This light bulb set up is breeze to use. It boils down to 2 areas for me. App set up and bulb use. The companion app to these bulbs is rock solid. It lets you pick room, lighting schedules, brightness... basically everything you would ever need to use around smart lighting. Pairing the hub and lights is breeze too. I set up entire 3 bulbs in 3 different locations in about 10 minutes. The bulbs and wifi hub are also very sturdy, i have seen other "smart: bulbs and they are as fragile as egg shells. Not these. Sturdy while pumping out superior light quality. All in all worth the buy due to app ease of use, app features and bulb design.

Bought these after returning the GE CE Bulbs as those were too unstable I was undecided about getting smart bulbs with or without the hub I decided to try these with the hub to keep on my router unclogged. I am glad I did! They were easy to set up, stay connected, reasonably priced, and you can adjust the brightness. I will be picking more of these up to use around the house

Love these bulbs, they were easy to install and setup. I plugged in the hub, downloaded the app, and they were ready to go. I then was able to use them with my Amazon Eco Plus. I can turn one on or off, all on or off or dim them using my echo, all by setting up scenes.

If you are looking to just get into smart lighting this is a pretty inexpensive way into the smart family. These lights of course do not offer all the the cool and fun settings of the Phillips Hue of course but for a fair priced smart light its worth its weight. The App to control these is the biggest let down of the product the interface of the app needs some work but I will give them time sense they are a somewhat new company in the smart home family. If you do not have an Alexa, Google voice assistant I will tell you it is a bit annoying having to log into the app every single time you want to turn the lights off and on. If you already have one you will not have to deal with this but again I give it time for kinks to work out over all these lights are a definite entry into the smart home.
