Was looking for some smart light bulbs that were color changing and relatively inexpensive. These were right uo my alley as I had already purchased a Cync light strip for my desk. The app makes the bulbs very easy to set up and easily connect with google home to control them with my voice and app. Would definitely recommend as I purchaed another set for another room and will probably purchase more.

I gave these smart lightbulbs 4 out of 5 stars because they offer great features like easy setup, excellent brightness, and customizable colors. Controlling them via app or voice is super convenient. However, the connection can be unreliable at times, and the app could be more intuitive. Overall, a solid product but with some room for improvement.

These lights might be on the expensive side, but remember you get what you pay for... and quality is what we got here. I’ve seen some other full spectrum lights, not nearly as bright, and the life on these lights is incredible... over 17 years of life at 3 hours a day..... the app is very simple and easy to use, they are Alexa compatible, what more can I say?? Those lights are dimmed to 50% in the picture I posted.

I didn't exactly know what to expect when buying this smart bulb. I knew about all the different colors and such, but I didn't realize it would be such fun! Different lighting themes to fit almost any occasion and the ability to customize what you like is really nice. There's a bit of a learning curve on the app, but once you set up what you like you're good to go. A little pricey if there isn't a sale, but highly recommended.

Bought when these were a deal of the day. Have a bunch of these through the house. Great range of colors, temperatures and brightness settings. I have fun making “routines” for holidays, different video games and atmospheres. App is easy to use and easy setup. These work on WiFi so I can turn on lights or set routines when I’m not home or out of town

I’ve used the plain, soft white bulbs for years. That work great in the App, timed scheduled, easy to turn on whenever.
Now I added these multi-colored ones. They connect and update easily, easily added into my Cync app…. Such variable colors and ease of control, I highly recommend them.
I just ordered two more!

Love the amount of colors it has to give you for better day time room looks at night. Hooks up easy with google nest. I’ve had them for a year now and I’m happy. It comes with its own app too but I stick with using googles voice control to handle turning them off and on. Love the morning routine feature to wake me up with morning light.

Works great, bulbs can be very bright (especially when both are in the same fixture). Only problem I've had is that there are occasionally some hiccups when changing light color, but I suspect this might just be my wifi acting up.

Wasn’t sure how hard this would be set up and if I’d need any extra add ons to get it up and working. So.... these light work great and you don’t need any additional parts/pieces. Just screw the build in and download the app. Setup is done via the app and only takes a few moments. After that you just use the app to choose color and brightness. Easy to use and happy with my purchase.

I have been LOVING these. My favorite part is that along with being able to select colors, you can also select colors more similar to regular lightbulbs like soft white to amber coloring. Also the light dims which I needed for when I don't need a bright light. The control of the lightbulb is from your phone also so I can turn off the light without getting out of bed. So easy, so cute and so many options.

Very fun to play around with. You can create scenes which are essentially shortcuts to the color you want, then use the automation tab that lets you set times for when you want a particular scene automatically on. You can also create an off scene. It lets you name each light and designate rooms to organize them all by. I also like the sunrise and sunset timing option for scenes in the automation tab.

Bulbs are vibrant but the app is absolutely horrendous. If you're looking for the most basic possible experience these are that. As far as bulbs go they're in the upper end of brightness and color accuracy but the app... Oh the app.. on/off color/brightness. Those are your options. Whereas other brands have automation and integration letting you create an experience this is good for "hey honey make it blue"

Love love love as long as you connect to Alexa app and have the lights in a group you can turn off the lights at the same time vs the app or saying each one by one. C and G is the best lights in my opinion. Great color choices and it’s great that it connects to wifi more convenient.

Inconveniently Simple

I bought 2 pairs of these smart light bulbs and they are pretty decent. I installed these light bulbs on light stands which are controlled by WeMo Smart Plugs. I configured a few scenes for the smart light bulbs which is straight forward to do. But the inconvenience comes when the light stands are turned OFF. Of course, when the light stands or the light fixtures in which you install these smart bulbs are OFF, you would not be able to access the smart light bulbs immediately via mobile application because the smart light bulbs are OFF as well. You would need to turn ON the light fixtures and then wait a minute or so until the smart light bulbs reconnect with your Wi-Fi network. It is not a big problem, but this is something you should be aware of. Keep in mind that if you would like to link these smart light bulbs to your Google Assistant, then you would need to recreate your scenes that you already created in the mobile application. The scenes do not transfer to Google Assistant. As a result, it can get tedious in the beginning of the setup, but once the setup is complete for both the mobile application and Google Assistant, then you should be good to go.
