Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great,, after three months stop connecting, GE customer service was excellent, surprised they answered quickly and very interested in helping getting the lights back on

I’ve had one smart light before and I was looking to expand with more smart lights. I saw this deal and thought it was good price so I bought it. So far I have no complaints! The set up process was pretty straight forward and simple time, and they’re actually a bit smaller than the first one that I have which is nice.

The lights illuminate, but that is not the only reason why I purchased these bulbs. I bought them because I want lights that I can control via Alexa. The packaging and adverts stated that they work with multiple external apps including the Alexa app. I found the connection process with the required application, C by GE, a daunting challenge. It appears that all the smart home products that I have purchased operate on the 2.4GHz WiFi and will not work with the 5GHz WiFi protocol. Another issue is with the lack of access the the bulbs MAC address. These were two problem areas as my WiFi router links the two frequencies (2.4 and 5 GHz) and the devices will not connect when the router is configured in this manner. Also, having to disable MAC authentication on my WiFi router, every time I want to connect one of these devices is unsatisfactory. In order to get these lights to work with Alexa, first you have to connect them to the C by GE app via the Wifi router. In order to this, I had to disable the WiFi "Total Control" protocol to allow the router to separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz protocols and disable the MAC authentication. Disabling "Total Control" wasn't a big deal, but is a step that should not be require. Disabling the MAC authentication allows hackers to use brute force attacks to decipher passwords and break into my network without physical access to my router. Once the GE lights were connected, I had to document the MAC on the WiFi display (GUI), then activate the MAC once authentication was enabled. The longer MAC authentication is disabled, the greater the chance that hackers can gain access to the internal network. Back on topic, the lights work but were too difficult for me to connect to WiFi to justify purchasing more GE smart bulbs. A better purchase would be to buy the Alexa bulbs as the MAC address is included in the packaging. (I have two Alexa bulbs and eight GE bulbs). The eight GE bulbs are dimmable in the C by GE app, but not the Alexa app. The Alexa app wont allow me to place the GE bulbs in "rooms" and I cannot control the GE bulbs in the Alexa app the way I can control the Alexa lights. I do not expect that I will purchase the less expensive C by GE bulbs until they include the MAC address on the internal packaging and improve upon the way the devices interact with the Alexa app. I'm interested in seeing if people that use these GE bulbs with Google / Nest have the same issues as I did with Alexa.

Easy to set up and work great! Also a good value!

Oof. These were extremely difficult to connect (with or without Alexa). I finally got two of them to work and gave the other two away because when I got the third one to work, it erased everything. I was ready to not even bother connecting to Alexa, but she eventually found them. On the other hand, the dimmable feature is nice and I really enjoy the quality of the light. So, if you are up for a challenge and have an entire weekend, these are for you!

These bulbs emit a nice tone of light, without breaking your wallet to get them. The hook up conveniently to my Google home and I can adjust them wirelessly in each room I have them set up. I need purchase a couple more of these so my entire home has them. I've shopped many of these and this was the best value by far.

Simple to connect but had an issue with it loosing its connection. As of now it's working.

Great lights - they just do not connect with a hub system, but they connect directly to the Alexa devices. They are very easy to connect -but you do need to place them near an alexa system, not too far away to keep them functioning easily. There is an app just for the GE products, as well.

Great hue and easy set up. Do this price it was worth it

Wonderful very bright and work very well with Alexa

These are a great alternative to the higher priced Phillips Hue. Some of the colors are not as rich, but when they are the only lights in the room there's no need to compare. These were very easy to program, add skills/scenes, and integrate into the Alexa software for ease of use/greater flexibility/options.

I absolutely love these light bulbs. They were so easy to set up and use with Alexa. Now, I can tell Alexa to turn the lights on or off. Loving that part. I loved them so much that I bought me another set. My boyfriend got jealous so I bought him a set too. At a Deal of the Day price of $14.99, these were a steal.

These work great with my nest hub. They need to be turned off manually ever so often but other than that they work as advertised.

So nice to be able to turn lights on and off with voice commands and adjust dimness. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because it is a bit challenging to sink it with Alexa.

Can’t beat the price on these bulbs. Level of quality definitely worth it.

Easy setup, love the customization of it! We have it hooked up to our Google Home and connecting the two was super easy.

These smartbulbs is recommended for my google mini. The bilbs work, but will not stay paired. I have to reset everyday, which doesnt make the bulbs so smart

No issues at all with setup. Happy with this purchase. I also have the C by GE indoor floods and love them. App takes a bit to get used to, but once it's done working great for me.

Caught this on a sale. All 4 bulbs worked perfectly! Using with Google assistant, set up was a breeze, turn on the light and add a device in Google Home app. Brightness is good, and can be controlled. It is yellow, very warm color. If you are looking for white light, don't get this. Would recommend!

I’m happy I purchased this product. I love the fact that I can control it from Alexa and I can set the timer for when it shuts on and off. I love this product.
