    Did not work great. Hard setup. The Hue lights are way better. Sentegal lights were also bad.

    Works well when it decides to. These bulbs only last about 6 months before they burn out. I've bought 2 packs of these and none of the bulbs last more than a few months. They are also super fickle when trying to change the color or they lose connection to the internet.

    When they work, they're great. They keep un-pairing from my Google home system, and you can't use them with the C by GE app if you've got them set up with Google home. I have to go to the light switch on the wall 2+ times a day to factory reset them, then go through the process of pairing them again. Obviously I can't keep a routine set this way. They also change their brightness setting. In the evenings, I prefer a dim glow. Something to give enough light to see around the room, but still pretty dim so it's easy on the eyes. These don't get very dim. I kept lowering the brightness figuring eventually it would get dark. It doesn't. Once you get to 10% brightness, it doesn't darken after that. I've even had it set to 1% brightness, and I can still see everything in the room, clear as day. They also boast "choose from *millions* of colors. You literally get an option between 42 different colors, and the color coming from the bulb doesn't usually match the color you've chosen.

      Hi there sorry you had this particular experience with our bulbs. The color limitation is a google limitation in our app we have a full color palette. Since your devices are direct connect lights they do not require a hub so you can use them in both apps. When you set the devices up in C by GE in Google Home there is an option called 'works with google' and you would just link your C by GE account in Google Home. After that is should automatically detect the devices and add them back to your Google Home. If you need any help getting these to work properly please reach out to us at 1-844-302-2943 or help@cbyge.com. -C by GE Support

    Thinking GE has been around for as long as I can remember, I bought these thinking they would be reliable. Boy was I wrong. They keep losing connection. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.
