Really good, just limited on the apple home app. You can't have anything but solid colors there. Control of them too is hit or miss and i've had to resync them completely multiple times to even get control back.

Overly complicated light bulbs

The color changing effect works as advertised, but, the Bluetooth is highly unreliable, they constantly want to be connected to wifi but reject my wifi password and they apparently need a "hub" for more reliable management. So I have to buy another expensive thing to control these already expensive light bulbs? No.

Thank you for your honest review. We're happy to hear the color-changing effects are meeting your expectations, but we're sorry to hear about the frustration with connectivity. Nanoleaf WiFi bulbs are designed to work without a hub, so if you're experiencing issues with password rejection or Bluetooth reliability, that's definitely not the experience we aim to provide. Our team would be happy to help troubleshoot and get things running smoothly—no extra hardware should be necessary. Please reach out to us at support.nanoleaf.me, and we’ll do our best to make things right.

Great options and fits in well within the nanoleaf ecosystem. It does have some quirks with dropping connection and having to reset to connect, but no more than any other smart lighting devices in my experience. I keep holding out hope that they can separate themselves from the rest of the pack on connection reliability, but until then, their slightly better available features than other brands keep me staying with the nanoleaf ecosystem.

[Employee of bestbuy] I've been messing around with those smart light bulbs, and, honestly, they're pretty awesome when they're working. The colors are super vibrant and create such a cool ambiance in the room. However, that connectivity thing is a real pain if you don't have a solid network.

They work ok and provide good light but the app is buggy and pairing is difficult and often times the bulbs dont hold the connection and must be reaet and repaired over time. That can be super annoying.

Was kind of worried at the start of installation ' BT connectivity is super week and somewhat unreliable, but wifi connectivity is great. Connecting it to alexa took some time and patience too but for my purposes and price this product is worth it

Easy to connect with Alexa! Reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the light itself isn't bright enough, unless I'm doing something wrong! Overall I love the bulbs!

Its value for money !
Especially the feature to adjust the intensity of light is perfect for me since I am sensitive to light but because of my cat, I have to keep a small light sourcein the house at night, so I love these bulbs since they have soft light.

Always having a bunch of connectivity issues, one bulb had a red LED that died out the box. Meh I only needed 3 anyways, eventually after losing interest in the gimmick of RGB used these for a few months normally. Wanted to change the lighting and red LED in all bulbs had died. Reset them and nothing.

Best Matter Smart Bulbs

These are easily some of the best Matter enabled light bulbs ive bought so far. Besides what other reviews say about having to have a Hub to connect these. They clearly didnt do any research about what matter is. But when i turn off the light switch and back on theor connection to the internet is almost instantaneous which os a problem ive had before with other smart bulbs. They work almost no latency between the app and the bulb. I also am able to connect to both apple home and google home with no issues.

Great smart bulbs for the price. They look great on their own, and they also work well with ambient lighting apps that add thunderstorm, fire, or music-reactive effects.

Honestly not worth what the price. Half the time either the Mobile or PC app can't find them. Constantly showing off line. I have to disconnect from power to get them to reset.
I have a couple of older Monster smart bulbs that work better.
