    The light bulbs are ok after they got the latest firmware but the colors are a bit off. Overall prefer LIfX but for the price they were ok.

    I researched which colored bulbs to buy before I went and made a purchase. I figured a well known brand would have a simple easy set up but after month and months of trying I have never once gotten them to work. I use Amazon devices in my house and use Alexa to control them. If you do as well I would highly recommend Sengled brand colored bulbs no hub required. They were so easy to set up with Alexa and have not fail me once.

    App sucks, I suggest buying any other brand. Connecting sucks. App has on off feature, change color and that is it. No ability to set schedules or anything that would make this useful. Don’t believe me read app reviews before buying… I wish I had. Retuning ASAP. THIS IS THE HARSHEST REVIEW IVE EVER GIVEN.

    These bulbs themselves work fine but they have no connectivity. GE recently updated their software and they do not work with alexa at all. They either cannot be found or disappear from the app after 5 seconds and become unresponsive. They may work with other assistants for now but I would steer clear of these.

    When they stay connected they're pretty neat to be able to change the color and brightness, turn on/off by home app or voice command. Issue is half the time they loose network connection so we just turn them on and off like a regular bulb.

      We apologize for your experience. It is certainly not normal for your lights to disconnect frequently. We recommend installing your lights within 40 feet of your router or wireless access point for a more stable connection. As a valued customer, we would be more than happy to address and resolve this issue with you. Please call us directly at 1-844-302-2943 for assistance. -Cync Support

    Honestly idk how they work because the installation was so complicated and that I just left them there sitting on my kitchen countertop for over a month. I am too busy to dedicate that much time to a simple smart bulb installation this should be ez to do no loop jumping step it up CGE. I should’ve gotten the sengled ones.

    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.

    The first install took a while and had a learning curve. It took two Apps (C by GE and Amazon Alexa) and multiple attempts, but I finally got it working. Then, my granddaughter turned the lamp off at the switch and I have been unable to get it re-configured, inspite of several hours walking through the steps. I can't get it to release, inspite of following the instructions explicitly.
