    Nice bright light. It's not easy to connect to the light through the app. After connected to the app, it works fine. Value for money.

    Bought as spares while on sale. Haven't tried yet, hopefully same as my incumbent voice-controlled bulbs (via DA), which have made me too lazy to operate the "non-smart" ones.

    I wanted to have smart bulbs in my living room. The price of 4 smart bulbs can be expensive. These weren't. It took me less than 5 minutes to set these up with my google home. They work every time on command. I am very glad I got these smart bulbs C by Ge. You won't regret it either.

    Horrible connectivity issues

    These bulbs do their job of being lights, but that’s about it. Constant “server unresponsive” messages when trying to pair them with Alexa. Maybe 2 bulbs will turn on with a voice command, the others won’t because they only connect periodically. My entire house has excellent WiFi coverage, yet I run into these problems constantly and if you look at other reviews on here, so do others. The GE Cync app to control the lights works sometimes, but sporadically. Horrible user interface design that only works and connects at random. Sometimes the lights will connect, sometimes they won’t. At the very least they’ll turn on with the light switch, but if I wanted just that, I wouldn’t have paid the premium of the WiFi feature and just bought old fashioned bulbs. Save your money and buy Phillips Hue bulbs for consistent quality and functionality.

    Don't hesitate, buy! These work the way they're supposed to, the app is right on, you won't regret your purchase. This is my second time experience with C by GE, used with Google Nest Mini. I did research first to see about pairing, apps, compatibilities. Works as promised, would buy again.

    Saved me a lot of money on my living bill. Wish I would have got them sooner. I’m not a fan of the yellow tones but the price cut on my bill makes it worth it! Highly recommend if you are struggling with kids or adults who don’t turn lights off.

    Worst smart bulbs available!!

    I have dozens of smart bulbs throughout my house from a wide variety of brands. I have some of the most expensive bulbs on the market and some generic ones that were really cheap. These C by GE are, without a doubt, the absolute worst I've ever had. They took forever to set up because of a multitude of errors. Then, when I linked them to Google Assistant, they all linked, but 2 (of 6) randomly deleted from the GE app. For some reason, even though they appear in Google Home, Google couldn't control them. So I removed them, re-added them through the GE app, and updated their firmware. Now, all 6 bulbs appear in the GE app and Google Home, but only 2 can be controlled. GE bulbs are almost never connected to the app and you have to be within 40 feet of them to even have a 10% chance of anything working. I strongly suggest buying any other bulb on the market. Additionally, the color is really ugly.

    Not sure why there's so many negative reviews for this product, but for my experience it was literally "plug and play"! I attached it to my google home app and now I can use my smart bulb all the time. the only flaw is that it's not super bright but it's good for what I need in my house.

    Best "ease of use" solution out there. No need to re-wire anything or use a hub. Just replace your light bulbs for simple, out-of-the box home automation. After initial setup in "Cync" by GE, it integrates perfectly with Google Home.

    Great bulbs, I paired 2 of these with a C Smart Plug and Google Assistant in my master bedroom and have been really pleased. Going to start phasing out some of my bulbs from competitors. So far my experience with C by GE and Google Home integration have been fantastic.

    I got these on a super sale so I'm going to factor that into my review. I didn't have too much trouble adding these to my Google Home setup. It's not the most sophisticated bulb on the market, not even compared to my Wyze bulbs but they work fine. The only issue is the range for the wifi. While I have cameras and other bulbs in close proximity, these GE bulbs don't see have to that much of a range. I don't think they are worth anything close to retail, but for the price I paid I'm happy
