I bought these lights for my husband for Christmas and he loves them. He especially likes that he can control them from his phone. I can see more of these in our future.

Lights are bright, colorful and fast. Makes the party a lot more fun. Just make sure you get the right size lights for what ever you're trying to install them in. I am planning on getting more lights and light strips.

Not bright enough!

I had such grand hopes for these lights. My eyes are very sensitive and I loved the idea of being able to control the color and light intensity. I thought this product would be brilliant, but it never gets bright enough. I do enjoy the remote control aspect of the lights from my phone, the timer to turn lights off, change moods, or dim. These lights would be ideal as extra lighting, not a main source. What convinced me to keep these lights, and I know it seems silly, is this 2.99 app that allows you to make a firework display using the lights. So if you have money to throw around and you're looking for a new gadget, go for it. If you're looking for a serious source of lighting, pass!

I've been thinking about purchasing this for sometime now, it went on sale so I had to do it. Easy set up, cool effect, jus wish it came with 4 bulbs ( only has 3). I've never been into a room with only 3 sockets. Overall really cool product!

Like sunrises, sunsets? A bright day? A blue sky? A day at the beach?
With this product, set the lighting for any of these scenes ... choose from a set of predetermined scenes or set up your own. Set the lighting for whatever mood you are in!

These are my first smart light bulbs and I am very satisfied with this purchase. Many features can be controlled by the app on the cell phone, such as the brightness and color. Very fun to play with.

Does the job but BR-30 lamps too bulky

This was a great starter set in its day but has now been supplanted by the new starter set with the Homekit-compatible 2.0 hub and A19 bulbs which better fit the form factor of your lamps and sconces than these floodlight-style ones do.

Phillips hue is a great lighting system. Being able to change scenes is great when watching movies, working, or just relaxing. The lighting helps with all those situations and more!

I like the lights - they got to whatever color I want, and can set a room for optimum atmosphere. No regrets, and BestBuy is one of the few places with periodic sales on this item.

Bought 2 boxes of these. We're easy to install and configure. Plug the bulbs. Just make a note of serial and it's faster to search for individual serial then automatic search.

Everything in the system is good quality, and changing the lights to set the mood or environment is nice. They work perfect for normal day-to-day use as well. Very expensive.

These lights are great for a party or when you just want a couple of lights on. You can dim and manipulate each light individually on your phone. Truly awesome
