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 really liked these lights when I bought them, I was able to turn on the lights before I returned home and it made me feel safe. When I changed internet speeds, they did not connect with the new wi-fi no matter what I do, short of calling GE. I think that's my next step, but it's a pain.

    Terrible Experience Controlling the bulbs

    I have terrible experience with this bulb (C by GE). Mainly, the C by GE apps (IOS) doesn't see the bulb and has to go through Google Home. Not a lot of functionality are available using Google home to control the bulb. Also, the brightness control is hit or miss most of the time. I would suggest people not to buy this bulb.

    Smart bulbs.. they should connect to your home wifi and allow programming for scenes, moods, times.. Problem is, they do not stay connected to the network and take so flipping long to reconnect, that you could have turned them all off, then back on, then off again before they're back on network.
