GE Soft White Direct Connect Smart LED Bulbs
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Excellent they are really bright for a 2700K. I have to dim the lights to 25% because they too bright at 800 lumens. They are easy to install by screening them in the light socket and then download the C By Ge App via Google play or Apple Store. Make sure you have internet and Bluetooth before starting the installation to setup C By Ge App. The best thing is that you are not required to purchase extra hardware for them to install and work flawlessly. Now, if you outside of your home they be controlled via the internet wiith Amazon Alexa, Google Voice, Google Nest Hub or My Home (Apple Apps). Enjoy.

Nifty
||Posted .Owned for 4 months when reviewed.Nifty bulbs! 1 of my 1st 'smart home' upgrades. Took a while to get them to work. This was because of how far they are from my router. Now that they work, I can just tell Google to turn them 'on' or 'off' whenever I need to. They are also dimmable. It's cool to be able to dim my bedroom lights, as this couldn't be done prior to obtaining these.

No need to leave your lights on.
||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.No more coming home to a dark house when you forget to leave your lights on! My only complaint is the app signs me out frequently, luckily I have a Google home and they stay connected through it rather than the app.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you ran into issues pairing your lights to your wifi network. These devices require a 2.4ghz wifi network to connect and use, and may have issues getting connected to blended networks. The workaround is to disable 5g momentarily to connect and then re-enabling it. Feel free to contact us at 1-844-302-2943 if you need any assistance. -Cync Support Team
What experts are saying
Q: QuestionI am wanting to upgrade to smart lighting and can't decide between the C by GE 3 wire switch or light bulbs such as these. Does anyone know what the pros and cons are of one vs the other? Would there ever really be a reason to use them both together?
Asked by Jfree.
- A:Answer Jfree, 3 wire switch can use almost any type of bulb (don’t have to use smart bulbs which can save some money if you have several lights associated with a single switch as in my setup with several recessed ceiling lights controlled by one switch). Also, switch will control grouped lights together, whereas individual smart bulbs, even if grouped together in a “room” group, may have slight delays between them when turning on the “group”. Installation is a little more involved with wired switches but if you are handy/familiar with house AC wiring, not that big a deal (just observe all safety protocols). It helps to have deeper electrical boxes though as the switches are relatively deep and when placing in shallower depth boxes, especially when used in a multi-gang arrangement, it can be a little tough getting the wiring in place. I have self-wired about 50 switches in my home, so am familiar and comfortable doing this, but some installs were much more difficult than others. Cost to have an electrician do this work is substantial. If you own your home and expect to be in it awhile, it is nice to have switches hard wired. If you are renting, then the slight disadvantages of smart bulbs (the slight lag when grouped, cost per bulb being somewhat higher (although at the current deal price of $14.99 for 4 is getting close to many non-smart LEDS) etc may be outweighed by the fact that you can just take the bulbs with you when you move. BTW, unlike some brands where you must keep power to the bulb at all times so that it is powered to maintain the WiFi or BT connection (in other words, if you turn off the switch that controls the socket, you lose control via your smart app), with the CbyGE system, you can combine their switches with their bulbs (although I do not know why you would want to do this) and control the bulb (dim, turn on or off) without losing control via the App or via Voice control (Alexa Echo etc) even if you turn the bulb off via the switch. Overall, I think the decision comes down to 1) whether you rent or own, 2) if you just want to test the waters of home automation/voice control (bulbs indicated if just testing), 3) how many bulbs you are planning to replace with smart bulbs, and 4) how comfortable you are with doing home wiring at the switch box or how much you are willing to pay someone else to install the switches. Hope this helps.

Q: QuestionCan these bulbs be used outside on porch?

Answered by Oscar
Q: Questiondo you need a internet connection just for around the house use, no remote connection? _______ Can I control these from my laptop?
Asked by antiai.
- A:Answer Hi Antial, our direct connect light bulbs require wifi to pair and use with the Cync app, and are not able to be controlled via a laptop due to the app being available only on mobile devices. However we do also sell bluetooth only bulbs as well. Feel free to contact us at 1-844-302-2943 if you have additional questions. -Cync Support Team

Q: QuestionIs this compatible with the SmartThings hub?
Asked by SimplicityQueen.
- A:Answer These direct connect lights are not compatible with smart things hub. They are direct connect so they do not need a hub if using them directly with Alexa or google home. Feel free to contact us directly at 1-844-302-2943 if you have any additional questions. -C by GE Support

Q: QuestionI have a ceiling fan in my living room. Will these work in that fixture? If so would I just keep the wall switch on and turn lights on or off with the app? Thanks
Asked by Chad.
- A:Answer Yes. We purchased these because of a ceiling fan as well. I wanted to be able to dim the lights - and the electric isn't set up. Keep the light switch on and use the app or Alexa to dim the light. It's great. And if the lights are off we can still use the fan.

Q: QuestionCan these be used in enclosed light fixtures?
Asked by KIKI2345.
- A:Answer We do not recommend putting these lights in a fully enclosed fixture. The reason is because LEDs dissipate their own waste heat, and are designed to do so in a very small surface area (around the surface of the bulb) LEDs therefore rely on the temperature around the bulb to be fairly low in order for the heat dissipation to work effectively. -C by GE Support
Answered by Cync Support Team
Q: QuestionIf you turn off something thats plugged into the switch directly, does it also turn off the bulbs connected to it or are they independent of each other?
Asked by RichT.
- A:Answer Hey Richt, If you are using the C by GE bulbs with a C by GE in-wall wired switch, the switch will know that you are using our bulbs (its a setting you choose at setup in the C by GE app) and you can turn on and off the switch like normal with no impact to the functionality of the bulbs. If you are using a C by GE plug, however, we do not recommend plugging a device that has C by GE bulbs installed in it. The plug cuts the power to the device and the bulbs need constant power to function properly.
