Customers are saying

Customers highly value the ease of use, brightness adjustability, and affordability of the A19 Smart LED Light Bulbs. Many appreciate the compatibility with smart home devices like Google Home and Alexa, as well as the straightforward setup process. However, some users experienced connectivity issues and found the accompanying app less than satisfactory. Overall, the positive feedback on ease of use and price outweighs the negative comments regarding the app and connectivity.

    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

    Direct control of light bulbs with app

    Super cool to control lightbulbs directly via app. Works as indicated, but app is not the easiest to set up (ie. schedules). GE needs to simplify it further.

    They aren't the easiest to pair but work fine once they did pair. It's nice not needing a hub and purchased kits with remotes that again once paired work fine.

    Nylons work great for the google eco system in your home, very easy to install, the luminance quality is sufficient! These so not change into any other sort of colors, but that’s fine.. I was only looking for standard lightening anyway.

    These bulbs are great. Unfortunately, the way BestBuy decided to package this deal with other products was an absolute nightmare. One order became four visits AND missed Christmas gifting time. Totally not worth the combined "savings"

    Worked Great at First, but Disappointed in the End

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought multiple packs of these bulbs when they were on sale for $19.99. I kept a box for myself and gave a box or 2 to my parents. The bulbs I've installed at my house have worked great all along. No complaints there. The bulbs that my parents installed worked great at first, but they don't work properly now. I believe there was some sort of a software upgrade that kicked out their settings. We've made numerous attempts to correct the issue, set them up differently, etc. and nothing seems to work. After doing a little research online, it's a common problem that was experienced by many at the same time they experienced their issue. We both utilize Amazon Alexa products in our homes. They tried calling Amazon Customer Service/Tech Support and they were unable to resolve the issue. There seems to be a problem with the app for the bulbs communicating with the Amazon app. They are still able to turn on the lights from their phones, tablets, etc. but they are not able to turn them on by voice command thru Alexa and that was the main purpose in purchasing them. It's been a disappointment over time. As a result, I would recommend researching other, similar products before purchasing this one.

We would love to assist in getting their devices back up and running like they have before. First, we would like for them to complete a factory device reset, here is a helpful link with a walk through on how to do so cyncsupport.gelighting.com/s/article/factory-reset-your-device.

    It's a second set I am purchasing. They work fine. The setup was tricky. I was setting up directly with google home and it failed several times. Had to factory reset the lights and attempt again. Only on 3rd or 4th time, it linked successfully.
