    Works wonderfully for the price. If you want a full smart home set-up, I would recommend a brand with more control options in the app. However, for a few lamps around the house, this product works great and never disconnects from the app like cheaper bulbs I have used before.

    Changing color is simole.and easy but the cost is kind of high for the value. Go it to add to Christmas colors so it did the trick but isn't quite an everyday thing to me.

    Enjoy them. Love being able to control my lights with my phone; voice control, etc. Love the color options including "daylight" to mood colors which I really like especially in the evening when watching television. The dark blues and pinks help me relax, but provide enough light. I would buy them again.

    Initially picked up the Sengled version for my daughter's room but it would not pair with her Echo. Returned it for the GE and it has been perfectly fine since. No issues connecting with the Cync app and she's been using it everyday for almost a month with no issues.

    These are nice because they remember their last-used color setting even if the lamp's power gets turned off. My previous Phillips bulbs did not (though they were years older; maybe the new ones don't behave that way).

    App forcing location permission was a deal breaker

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I never tested the function of the lights, so I'm giving a benefit-of-doubt three star rating. I purchased three sets of two for my home. When I downloaded the app and tried to use, it would not let me go further until I allowed location permissions. My privacy is important to me, so I contacted GE customer service. I was told that GE does not allow the app to be used outside of the US, and the location permission is to verify that it is not. That made zero sense to me, and I don't like being forced to give information that I didn't agree to give when I purchased the product. I returned all three sets.

    I can get it to change colors in the C by GE app. But I cannot get it to connect to the Google app, so I cannot control it on-off by voice.

    These color-changing bulbs are cool...when you can get them to connect to the wi-fi. The connectivity is fickle at best. But they work as light bulbs either way.

    For the most part they are good. Once and a while they decide not to work. I'm not sure if its the google hub that has the issue or the bulbs. A quick power cycle to the hub and they are back online.

    These light bulbs are pretty good and have not caused me any issues I have probably used one of them for over 100 hours straight and then another one for about 48 hours they don't have any issues that I'm aware of the software took some getting used to.
