    These C by Ge lightbulbs are easy to install and have a great brightness. You can choose soft white, daylight and 2 others. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that sometimes Google does not play well with them and they get finicky. Not sure if it's GEs fault or if it has to do with Google.

    Easy to setup with Google or Alexa. Only quirk is that Alexa sometimes impairs if offline for too long.

    Great, but has minor setbacks

    At 800 lumens, these LED smart lights were fantastic for my kitchen, and paired quickly and easily with my google home. HOWEVER: Not listed on Best Buy’s site is that there is a maximum of 6 bulbs per google home. This meant that for the 8 bulbs I purchased, I could only use 6 in my kitchen. These lights also have issues with dimmer switches, and would actually flicker very fast if the dimmer switch was kept all the way up, so we had to lower is slightly to get it to work normally. Finally, a small issue is that the site says bulbs are 9.5 watts, while they are actually 11 watts. These were the only three issues I found, but if none of these apply to you, go ahead and get them because they are fantastic bulbs!

    I have a few smart bulbs in my house. This is the hardest to setup. I had to reset the 4-bulbs many times. Setting it up on google home is okay but I can't do any scheduling and setup a scene. Installing the C by GE app is worst than google home. i can only get 1 connect it out of 4. Also if you have a dimmable switch, make sure tune in all the way high, otherwise the light will flicker under 80%. The color of bulb is very nice from warm to white. I will return this bulbs and getting different brand.

    I bought two of these, one for the bedroom and one for the living room. Very convenient to have but the one in the bedroom only works with voice control half of the time. Love the dimming modes and diff color modes.

    This light can get very bright when set to "100% daylight" or very dim when set to "5% candle light". It does update on occasion which renders it useless for up to 30 minutes every few months. It connected right up to my Google smart home system and has stayed connected without the need to reset for over 6 months.
