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

So far they work great with the iPhone app

If you will be using an Android device to control the bulbs, you may want to look at the Google Play Store and check out the C by GE app. The feedback is not good for the app experience.
Because of the likely problem with an Android device, I decided to put the bulbs in an area where they would be used by an iPhone user. I am happy to say, that the bulbs installed easily, were paired with the Wi-Fi on the first try, and worked great.
Reading the Play Store reviews, it sounds like the app will logout and various other things may happen to cause the bulbs to not function properly over the course of the first few weeks. I will update my review if there are problems for the iPhone user with these bulbs.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review LabFan. Sometimes with android devices the app cache needs to be cleared in order for the app to refresh paired devices properly. This doesn't appear to be the case as much with iPhone users. If you experience any issues please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1-844-302-2943

So far, so good. Bought 2 boxes. Renovated the ceiling of our front porch with tongue and groove lumber and added 3 recessed lights. Took a couple of tries to get them set up in the C app then set them up to work with the Alexa app. Works like a charm. I have them timed to come on at sunset and off around 2AM. Have the 4th bulb in the house to illuminate a wall area, also using Alexa to turn on and off. I have the Hue system and was planning on buying more Phillips bulbs until I saw these and the price. Happy I did. Infinite colors. Using purple now but will change to holiday colors like a red, a white and a blue for Fourth of July.

First purchase of a "smart-bulb," and I not disappointed. I have no others to compare this to, but it works as described. Connecting with the C by GE app was quick and easy. Also connected it to my Alex app so now I can control it from all my devices and by voice.
I use it in the background of my Zoom calls. I tell people that if the light is green, I'm generally on board with the way the discussion is moving. But, if the light is red, I'm starting to boil with disapproval!
Only drawback is I wish the dimming option had a wider range. Only dims to 10%, I would like to the 1% range for some colors.
I will probable buy more when the price is right.

Bulbs Are Just Okay...GE Ecosystem Not So Much

Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought these bulbs to fill in some gaps of my Hue lighting system at a fraction of the cost. I was loathe to download yet another smart home app on my phone/tablets, but seriously, Hue is way too expensive. The GE app (called Cync) isn't terrible as smart home apps go. It paired my lights very quickly and synced them to the Alexa app with no problem. Alexa integration works well. I was a bit amused by how they blink on -- one by one.
The problems: The color reproduction is poor, especially when compared side-by-side with Hue bulbs. There is no app that I have found that can integrate these bulbs with the Hue ecosystem -- other than Alexa (you can command a room with mixed bulbs to, say, red), so no setting up colored scenes with these and Hue bulbs, and wireless switches and motion sensors for Hue bulbs will not work with these. This wouldn't be much of an issue if you want to put some of these in a separate room, BUT, if you want to control them with a GE wireless switch and/or motion sensor, they WILL NOT work with Alexa/Google/Siri. So if I want to control the room that these are in with a switch from GE I lose Alexa control. What sense does that make?? I will not buy into the GE ecosystem any more. Especially since I have since found a brand of bulbs that integrates perfectly into the Hue system at half the price of Hue bulbs.

We enjoy these lights and the nice array of natural colors included with the huge selection in the color wheel. The only issue is the response time when creating the color shows and saving our presets. The delay we choose doesnt ever seem to be dependable, and theres no telling how long the transition will be from color to color.

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.

I've been using Philips Hue bulbs for years but they're ridiculously expensive. When it came time to get more full color bulbs recently, I came across these C by GE products. I really didn't want yet another app to control my lights, but I figured I'd tolerate it given the fact that the GE bulbs are half the prices of the Philips bulbs. The GE bulbs are every bit as good with vibrant colors and a nearly infinite color palette. The app is as good, or maybe a little better than the Hue app. The bar is low there, however, because the Hue app is terrible. All in all I love these C by GE bulbs and will be buying more.

I purchased this bulb for my back porch light. It works GREAT! I can set an exact on/off time or choose sunrise or sunset. I downloaded the Cync app and I can control with my phone. I can also use voice commands through Google Assistant. The app also has different "light show" settings for nice ambiance at night. I LOVE IT!

Overall I love these lights. In fact, we have replaced most of our bulbs with smart bulbs as it is very convenient to be able to choose which lights we want on in a room as well as how bright and what color. The only issue is that the GE skill with Alexa is hit or miss. There will be periods where all the lights disconnect and you have to go into the ge app to control them. Otherwise great purchase!

One of these connected to the internet and Alexa really easy but, the other one did not, I even had to connect to support but they could not really help me either, it just took close to 20 different attempts and it finally got all connected. The naming setup was a little confusing as well. That being said, they do look kool at night and if you like changing the color of your bulbs, then these are for you.
