Works great - made a great holiday light for our aluminum Christmas tree! Integration with Google can be sketchy, but it works fine most of the time.

Wants to stay green

I recently purchased the GE Smart LED Light Bulb, and while it has some promising features, it falls short in a few key areas.Firstly, the light itself is decent, but there's a strange issue where it seems to want to stay green. Despite attempts to adjust the color temperature, it consistently veers towards a green hue, which is not ideal for most lighting situations.Additionally, the touted music sync feature, which should sync the light with your music, only works sporadically due to the app's unreliability. While it's a neat concept, the inconsistency leaves much to be desired.One major point of confusion is that GE offers another light, the "Dynamic Effect," which seems very similar to this one. It's unclear why they would offer two products with such similar functionality, leading to confusion for consumers like myself.Overall, while the GE Smart LED Light Bulb has potential, it's hindered by its color consistency issues, unreliable app performance, and confusing product lineup. I'd recommend exploring other options before committing to this one.

Got 6 of these to put in my living room recessed lighting. The installation was easy but the setup was a bit challenging. During setup two lights ended up with the same name so it made it difficult to change the light colors and turn on and off. After disconnecting and resetting and renaming the lights i manage to get everything working but just have a slight buzzing sound.

Decent But Not Completely Mature

Love it, but definitely needs a generation of bug fixing. The good: remote control lights: change colors: sync change colors. The bad: multi users set causes issues with accessing lights; no 5g WiFi/limited range; choose from a million colors-this is a massive marketing stretch/reach for sure, perhaps a few hundred. The UI has a dial interface but the transitions to changes are quite distinct, hence the range of colors and depth of color is not nearly as granular as their advertising would suggest. I count 20 positions around the color wheel, and 16 shades…that would be a total of 320 color choices.

Great Alternative to LED wall lights

My son wanted these for his room and were considerably less expensive than the wall LED lights that come in geometric shapes. I also love using the bulbs instead of the LED lights that you hang with a strip to the wall, ruining your paint. Lastly, I find that the lighting is not as harsh for my old eyes as much as the LEDs on the strip that you put on the wall. Overall, great bang for the buck and no messy walls!

Good, but glithcy compared to the outdoor cync lights. Loses connection, and has to be reset a lot. Using the Xmas preset blinking lights caused a lot of errors. Using one static color seems to be more reliable.
