A step up from the previous model! These are brighter and just snappier than the old c by ge color changing smart bulbs. I also noticed it was quicker and easier to setup. Unlike the previous model these haven't had disconnect problems yet. And to top it off these are at a discounted price more often.

The GE Cync RGB lightbulbs are a great buy for the ~$20 if you're looking for a straightforward product. After downloading the Cync app, connecting to the bulbs can be a little troublesome at first. You're greeted by a fantastic strobing light show for around 4 minutes while updates install and such, but after that, I have experienced no issues with connectivity. They stay connected to wifi all the time, allowing me to turn them on and off from wherever I please. The color options are plentiful, and after around 4 months of use I have found no problems thus far.

The bulbs (and color changing ability) themselves are great when everything comes together! The app, even after updating to the newest version, still has some work to do. It's a bit frustrating to have to move around the house, even with a mesh WiFi (and yes, the Direct Connect version of the bulbs), to get within range of the bulbs to communicate with Bluetooth still. I can't adjust the bulbs in the front of the house when I'm working on the ones in back without moving. Also, some of the bulbs tend to drop of the WiFi and have to be power cycled to reconnect. But overall, still pretty happy with them.

LED bulbs. Not a new thing. There are a lot of different manufacturers out there. These... ok, popped up on sale so I picked some up to try them out.
Setup wasn't particularly difficult. I've got Echo devices (Amazon Alexa,) and once I set up the app, it connected fairly painlessly - other than losing one bulb somehow and having to just ignore that group. Not sure what happened there. (My Echo Studio behaves as a hub. Earlier devices sound like they may need one.)
They're not hard to use - obviously leave the light switch on if you're putting them, say, in a bathroom or somewhere switched, since they won't react without power (do I *really* need to point that out?) if you want to voice control them with Alexa, Google, Apple or whoever, or the app.
The color range is ... ok. Five or six white variations from cool blue "day white" to just "white" to an orangey "warm." And several preset colors, crimson, orange, gold, yellow, purple and more. There isn't a way to select/blend your *own* color (that I could find, at least - I'll own up to missing it if there is,) which should be doable, honestly. They've got a good range of bright/dim, too.
So am I still using them?
Well... no. But not from any fault of the bulbs. I tested them using a bathroom over mirror fixture (I don't really have or need *that* many lamps right now.) Part of the idea was - well, yes, just to play with and test them and get some ideas on what I want to do with them. But part of it was to perhaps have lights I could just turn off when I forget to by voice (versus... ok, I want to be lazy and not get back up out of bed. :) ) Or have them dim at certain times (be a night light, essentially.) With where I *had* them, though - yes, they worked for that, but I couldn't break the habit of just turning them off. Makes it hard to turn on at 3 AM by voice that way.
How would I use them? I could very easily see these being used in ceiling fixtures/lights, for instance, and just being tied to routines, from a simple "lights on/off," to having your smarthome turn them on in the evenings, or even doing what I'd wanted to do, but on a larger scale ("*device name,* night lights on" turning on a dimly lit path to the door or kitchen or what have you, on devices you don't have a smart switch on.)
And yes... the colors can be fun to play with, too.
For most things, a simple LED light - or smart white LED, which is a bit cheaper than these typically - would probably work, honestly. But these do open up a few more options.
(You know, while I'm thinking about it, I almost could have used these in a smart system back when I was taking care of a sick parent. Can't hear them across the house? Have a set up where they can say some keyword and have it light up red in another room where I was working...that would've been nice. But expensive 7-8 years ago.)

These smart lights are ok. Once I got them paired they work. It was very difficult; I had to pair them in the same room where my wi-fi modem is located, afterward I was able to move them to my bedroom ceiling fan. The instructions are not plain and it was hard for the app to recognize the connection.

Very simple to setup with the "Cync" app. If you want to add to Alexa app you need to first add the bulbs to the Cync app. Tip: Setup all timers/color settings in the Alexa app (skip that setup in the Cync app) so that the two app settings do not conflict, once you do that you will never need to open the Cync app again. Other than that, they work perfectly and the full spectrum of colors is available to pick from. Very satisfied

Bought these lights to show our support during the pandemic. The colors are really beautiful. It does a lot more colors than I expected. You can time them out when you want them to turn off and on and the app was easy to set up everything on a timer. I am looking forward to changing the colors for different events in the future, but for the moment, we are keeping them green until the pandemic is over. Hopefully it is soon. Just doing my part. Carry on.

Color changing bulbs without the hub!

Very happy when I took the chance to buy this after trying to find a color changing bulbs that does not require a HUB. These bulbs require both a Wi-Fi and a Bluetooth connection to setup. After setup you can manipulate the bulbs to your liking.
You can save a lot of themes/presets using the Scene tab on the App which allows you to control each individual bulb giving you exactly what you want (dimness and color).
Other than that, really recommend these bulbs for those that don't want to deal with hubs or don't need color changing for the entire house.

These were very bright when I first turned them on. Easy to set up and use. I did have one not want to communicate with the app, but customer service was very helpful to help out. I like that you can set up each light individually. There are a lot of options for the type of light you want besides colors. Such as natural light, warm light, soft, sunset or sunrise, etc..

My first set of smart lightbulbs. I was a little skeptical not knowing how I would use them, however setting the routines for the lights is something I have come to enjoy. Dim lights in the morning and night and turning off by themselves is really nice! The kids even turn the colors and have so much fun making them all the different colors. Very easy to use! I’ll probably buy some more to add to different lights in the house.
