Q: QuestionCan this be used independently, or must you always use the app? My old one had to be used through an app, and I couldn't turn it on or off manually if I was standing next to it. Thanks

Asked 5 years ago by MoMo.

• A:Answer Great question, MoMo! While you can still control the Smart Bulb manually from a switch, the switch must be in the 'On' position in order to control the Smart Bulb from the App. There is also a SmartThings Button available that can be used like a switch to control the Smart Bulb and/or other compatible smart devices. Please note that the SmartThings Smart Bulb does require the SmartThings Hub. Thank you! ~Samsung Brand Ambassador

Q: QuestionIs the light from these bulbs WHITE ? I ask this because I have bought LED bulbs that have a light yellow glow - and that is not kind to my eyes. Thanks.

Asked 4 years ago by MOHAN75.

• A:Answer From what I understand, in order to get a brighter watt you have to get a tunable light bulb. This should say tunable on the box. You can also get the tunable in the colored bulb, which includes the white. So as long as it says tunable, you will have your choice from soft glow to bright daylight. These come in C-GE and Feit Electric brands. The Feit brand comes in your choice of LED 60W or 100W, but the 100 watt is twice as much. The Feit bulbs were 10.98 each or a box of 3 for $29.98 in the 60 watt. I just purchased the Fiet brand to see how they work. I did not see any C-GE bulbs in anything over 60 watt. This is a new experience for me but my daughter is my tech support. LOL

Q: QuestionDo these work with 5 ghz internet

Asked 5 years ago by Klinger57.

One app controls it all Once you get the SmartThings Hub and the SmartThings app, you'll be ready to power on or dim your SmartThings smart bulb right from your smartphone or tablet. You can even expand your smart home by adding locks, thermostats and more.
