    These are great to have for any occasion. The app is easy to install and use. I like being able to have everything turn on at a certain time, and being able to control the brightness is really nice. I also like the preset lighting effects.

    I was skeptical as these aren’t among the higher price I’ve seen for these bulb types but they don’t disappoint at all. The different color schemes and responsiveness to my google assistant responds has me on shock. I can’t believe this is where we are with technology now. I love it! Just make sure you have a compatible device. I had the smaller google clock and it wouldn’t detect my bulbs. Turns out it wasn’t compatible to set up the bulbs initially. But once setup all google assistant devices (speakers, smart phones etc) under that gmail profile can ALL control the bulbs even when not home as long as the required device and the bulbs are at home together on the same WiFi. It’s awesome!

    I want to like these, and we still use them, but there is some real room for improvement on these bulbs. Part of that is the bulb itself, and part of that is the app. The bulb itself, some colors just don't get very bright. I purchased two of these and each is placed in an otherwise dark hallway. You can adjust the brightness from 5% to 100% and in both bulbs using a normal warmish color -- there is not a significant difference. I do have some generic LED 60w replacement bulbs and they are easily 2-3x as bright as these bulbs. If you change the color to a cool color (more of a white light) -- the bulbs perform comparably to other bulbs. This isn't a $2 lightbulb, though. These are very expensive and you're paying to have colors -- and in that regard this bulb does not perform well. The purpose of the bulb, in our home, is to provide color indicators to children as to what behavior is allowed. Red means mom or dad is in a meeting and only emergencies should interrupt. Blue means busy, possibly meeting but not customer facing meeting so interruptions are ok but to be kept to a minimum. And green means play-time. We wanted to use red, yellow/orange, and green to correlate to stoplights but the orange and yellow colors are almost indistinguishable from just a standard warm light. This is made worse by the dim performance when any color is being output by the bulb. The second big ding for this light is the app. The app regularly fails to communicate with the bulbs even when just feet away. I have found that completely closing the app helps with this. I often find it will open, read the bulbs current state, then selecting a new scene it will just sit and think for a few seconds then not implement the scene change. No error message that it failed to communicate with either bulb or anything, it just doesn't work. For the price of these bulbs, I'm extremely disappointed. There are no-name bulbs out there for far less than half the price. While I haven't tried those bulbs -- if they work at all they'd be doing as well as these. In that regard, I do not recommend these bulbs.

    Love the endless colors and shades. We, the dog and I, have our routine. I get up early to let him out, and I have my office set up to turn on in the morning with a very faint light. Transitions to brighter lighting just as I get in after coffee and turns off automatically at night. I placed them in an overhead fixture which required a little manipulation of the fixtures interior tab to touch lights' tips. No other light I've used required this process. The light's threads may be a bit shallow??? Also, these do buzz in this fixture. May be a function of the fixture and not the light.

    I absolutely love these. They are perfect for movie night when you want to have the light color match the movie, when you are laying in bed and only want a small amount of light, or any other time. I love that I can leave a room and not have to worry about if I turned the light off. I have many times gotten into bed and forgot to turn the living room lights off so instead of having to get up and go downstairs I just turned them off from my phone. Super fun and convenient.

    Works pretty good with the sync app. Bought to complete my lamp requirements with couple of backup. App allows automatically turning on/off lights on a schedule. After making schedule changes, it usually takes couple of days to register and work properly. The reason for 4-star.

    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
