Work exactly as advertised. Easy to setup, and the brightness control is really handy with a newborn where we need to see, but don't want the lights too bright. I would only recommend trying to find them on sale, the standard price is a little steep, but we got them on sale.

Really easy to use and no hub is needed. I wish the minimum dim setting wasn't as bright as it is so they can be better used as nightlights, but that's a minor inconvenience. Very bright when at 100%. Doe sometimes disconnect and need to be power cycled to reconnect.

We’ve used these for a few months now and love them. Super easy to setup and connect to phone. Very straight forward app, and you can also control them with Alexa. So convenient. About to buy more to replace the rest of our old school bulbs with these!

Easy to set up if you install the c by ge app. Automatically syncs up to Alexa. You could either use the ge app or alexa. I didn't think I would use it as much as I do, but its so convenient that I do use it more than often. Also dimmable from 5 percent to 100.

Easy to set up through most ecosystems. It provides plenty of lighting and doesn't require a hub. The brightness setting can be changed to fit the ambiance of your home. There are no delays or lag when remotely changing the light setting.

My wife is very... "particular" when it comes to our light settings around the home. This wifi enabled lightbulb has provided my wife with the specific control she desires to control lighting all around the house as she seems fit. ... Also great for turning off the lamp at bedtime if the lamp is away from your sleeping area.
My only complaints have to do with the current phone app that needs to be used to access the wifi connected bulbs:
(1) There doesn't appear to be a computer / website version of the app, you must use a phone / tablet, etc. (Oddly enough, there is a web / computer app for wifi cameras. You would think they could simply add their light bulbs to the program as well.)
(2) Only one person is allowed access to the bulb via the phone app (this is a problem if my wife has the primary account and she has gone ahead and gone to bed before me, thereby forcing me to pull the plug in order to turn off the light).
When accessing the app from a phone other than the last phone that accessed the app (my wife's phone vs my phone), the app then forces you to confirm through email after you have already provided the name and password for the account. The same email that can only be accessed through the other phone.
[ I mean, come on, I just need access to a light bulb, not a bank safe.]
(3) My home wifi provides secure connections for up to 12 devices in my home, yet the bulb's app often has issues making solid, continuous, repeated connections to the bulbs.

I bought them in a bundle with the Lenovo smart clock and I am very happy. Very bright light, it looks like a regular light bulb. I set it up with Google Home and it cannot be any easier. Up and running in no time. I would buy it again.

Very easy to configure. You nee to download and app to be able to set a timer (set when you want the lights to turn on and off), also lets you set the intensity of the light. You can also turn the light on and off manually from the app.

What's not to like? I walk into my home and say, Alexa, let there be light, and by golly, the lights come on to my pre-selected levels. At bedtime, Alexa turns-off everything and prepares us for bed. These are great and I want more!
