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.

    The bulb works fine with my Alexa the only issue I have is that it is not bright enough. It is a 60 watt bulb and casts a dim light like it is on the lowest setting of a three way bulb and cannot be brightened any brighter. But the bulb works fine and for what I use it for, it will be bright enough.

    Have downloaded the app, deleted the app, reinstall the app, reset bulbs to factory at least 6 times, using 2.4 WiFi just as their instructions say still won't connect with their app. I have installed sengler brand light bulb. Smart outlet plugs and thermostat. These are going back. Wasted better part of the day on these.

    Such a headache. Work for a few days with our Google Home set up and then continually give error messages. Had to reset almost all of them and then add them back to our system. Also got the Cync app, which works better but still isn’t great and totally defeats the purpose.
