    My first time purchasing a smart item for my home it was easy to set up works great on my phone and very adaptable to iPhone with the actual app from the company.Works flawlessly at this time I’m very happy. I’ve actually purchased a few smart plugs afterwards waiting on them as we speak.

    Excellent smart lights, not quite as cool as the full color ones, though. They work well, and fade up and down easily.

    I love these lights and it came with a smart plug, makes it so easy to turn light on and off with phone or Alexa app. These are super easy to setup and also took less than 10 minutes after setting them up. I have purchased other brands previously but I likes theses a lot better and they are easier to setup versus the other ones I had before. I recommend these because they are affordable and setup pretty easy. They are a great buy.

    A Great Help for Controlling Lights, etc. Easily

    I used two of the bulbs in the Bedroom and the other two in the Living Room. I have made two groups and can thus operate them individually or in tandem. I use the Smart Plug for my Amp so I can remotely turn it on first and then play my favorite music by telling the Google Assistant to cast the music to my speakers. The Amp works fine for awhile but after a few days, I have to manually turn it on and change its input back to Auxiliary, where the Comcast dongle is plugged in. However, that is not a Smart Plug problem. I would recommend these Smart Bulbs and Plugs for whatever application is needed. I found that the Bulbs work well for outside lights which don't always respond to a Dusk to Dawn sensor.

    These were easy to set-up, but you do need to download a separate app. We already have a dimming switch, and the Hue lights don’t work with it. These work - I have the dimmer on max and then use Alexa to dim or brighten. A nice feature is that I can shut off each of my three lights in the fixture individually. Before, my dimming switch operates all three - they all had to be off or on (and with the same brightness) - now I have more options. I don’t love that I need to use the plug as my bridge and that it has to be in the same room with the lights, but at least it comes free, and I suppose I could plug something into it in the future.

    Smooth integration with Alexa

    Decided to purchase this GE product based on price to compliment my SMARTH home setup. After downloading the C by GE app, installation was a snap following the app instructions. Linking with Alexa was smooth and incorporating into Alexa routines was effortless and not time consuming at all. I now have operation of all lights by voice command, and all lights turns off when I leave during the night and turns on upon entering the geofence of my home after nightfall. Incorporating into Alexa Guarding adds a second level of home security and is a pleasant welcoming after a busy day. I would have preferred using Philips Hue bulbs which compose most of my lights, but price prohibit that. I got what a wanted and needed at a most lower price point with the purchase of C by GE.

    I prefer whiter light. And I prefer the new color version with white light. But if your looking for soft white these ones are good. You can control from the app on your phone or speak to your google home as I was able to tie them together. No issues had it for some time now and they are still working. This one came with a free smart plug that works great. Needs to be in WiFi in order for google home integration to work.

    These are excellent smart bulbs. They are priced well...especially when they're on sale! They are extremely simple to set up, and they perform as expected. I'm very happy with this purchase, and will continue using these bulbs as I replace older bulbs throughout my house. The included smart plug is a nice bonus, and works as expected as well. Get these bulbs!!!

    The lights work great. Easy to use with my google pod. plenty bright to light up my basement. I can turn them off while I'm working there with just having one light in the office area. The plug works great. I have it on a fan in my fitness area. Voice command to turn on the fan while I'm riding my stationary bike is great.

    These lights are very easy to install and use through the GE app on your phone. However, I am unable to easily connect them to my Alexa. Not sure if I am missing a step or what, but Alexa shows she is detecting the lightbulbs, but when I ask to turn them on/off it states cannot detect devices. The bulbs themselves are very cool and I like how you can dim them by utilizing the GE app.

    The plug and bulbs were easy setup. I have combined with Amazon Echo which allow setup up routines for cutting on and off. Occasionally the bulbs are not recognized by either the GE app or Alexia you just have unplug and plug in the GE plug and the problem is solved. I have only needed to once.

    These lightbulbs are easy to control using the C by GE app. However, I am having difficulty getting them to connect to my Google assist and the Apple HomeKit. I think I might need to purchase the C Reach to get it to work with my HomeKit, based on what I’ve read so far.

    These are very good bulbs for the price. They give off an attractive Shade of white that is sufficiently bright for reading but soft and relaxing . They were easy to set up on my Google and it is great to be able to turn various lights off while you are just lying in bed!

    I got these on sale and decided to try them out. They work well but you have to have the smart plug plugged in for them to work with google or Alexa. I don't use the app that often but they are pretty simple to set up and have worked good.

      Hi Chris, thanks for the review, and you're absolutely right! The plug acts as the WiFi bridge which allows for both out of home control as well as connection to a voice assistant.

    Great smart bulbs with a less than great app. Fairly easy to set up with Google and Alexa, although if you have to reset any of the bulbs, it can be a bit painful. I’m hoping further firmware and/or software updates will help.

    Economical way to add smart lighting and control

    Economical way to add smart lighting and control yo home or office. Since I've replaced all my incandescent lamps with LEDs it makes sense to take the extra step and add them to my smart home network. Makes controlling them even easier. Easy to control via most home assistants. Love having the lights come on a sunset without having to be home. If I go to bed early, jus ask Alexa to turn off all lights. Wake up in the middle of the night, my assistant lights the way. The on/off relay plug is great for most appliances or lamps fixtures.
