Decent But Not Completely Mature
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Love it, but definitely needs a generation of bug fixing. The good: remote control lights: change colors: sync change colors. The bad: multi users set causes issues with accessing lights; no 5g WiFi/limited range; choose from a million colors-this is a massive marketing stretch/reach for sure, perhaps a few hundred. The UI has a dial interface but the transitions to changes are quite distinct, hence the range of colors and depth of color is not nearly as granular as their advertising would suggest. I count 20 positions around the color wheel, and 16 shades…that would be a total of 320 color choices.

Great Alternative to LED wall lights
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.My son wanted these for his room and were considerably less expensive than the wall LED lights that come in geometric shapes. I also love using the bulbs instead of the LED lights that you hang with a strip to the wall, ruining your paint. Lastly, I find that the lighting is not as harsh for my old eyes as much as the LEDs on the strip that you put on the wall. Overall, great bang for the buck and no messy walls!

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWe have a bank of 6 ceiling cans that operate on a three pole switches set up at opposite sides of the room. I'd like to replace the current CFL floods in these cans with the C by GE BR30s. Will they work OK with the three pole switches?
Asked by JC.
- A:Answer Thanks for reaching out JC. These bulbs can replace existing flood lights and can be used in a 3 way switch setup just keep in mind of the maximum load wattage that your switches are rated for. -Cync Support Team
Answered by Cync Support
Q: QuestionCan this BR30 bulb be used outside if it's under an overhang? The PAR38 outdoor bulb is too big for the light socket I have outside.
Asked by bbyorder101.
- A:Answer Thank you for taking the time to reach out! The BR30 indoor bulb has not been tested or rated for outdoor use so we do not recommend using them in outdoor situations exposing them to outdoor elements. Feel free to contact us at 1-844-302-2943 if you have any additional questions. -Cync Support Team
Answered by Cync Support
Q: QuestionHas anyone found a wall switch that you can create a scene with these
Asked by Handimatt.
- A:Answer Hi Handimatt, we have several different types of wall switches available that work perfectly with these bulbs. If you search Cync switch on Best Buy you can find the various types that we have. We also have wire free switches that pair well with these bulbs and don't require any wiring. All of our switches pair to the Cync app and can be automated using our scenes functions. If you have any questions about any of our switches or products or need any assistance please don't hesitate to contact us at 1-844-302-2943. -Cync Support Team

Q: QuestionAre these dimmable and safe for use with a dimmer wall switch.
Asked by Jbarker.
- A:Answer Thanks for reaching out! These bulbs are dimmable though the app and can work with dimmer switches and we also carry dimmer switches that work well with these bulbs. -Cync Support Team
Answered by Cync Support
Q: QuestionHow many bulbs can I connect to the app I have over 60 recessed cans? Assuming that I can will this interfere with my Wi-Fi in other words will it take up most of my bandwidth and slow down all my other electronics in my house. I have FiOS 1000g wifi.
Asked by Frody.
- A:Answer This is a great question! There is a limit to 50 devices per location that you can add in our app. You can create multiple locations to add more devices, or we would like to suggest our Wired Smart Switches. These would be able to achieve what you are looking for with fewer devices in the app. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us directly.- Cync Support Team
