Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have several google assistants in my home, in every room and on portable devices. This synced with them easily. Light turns on, light turns off. The light isn’t compatible with my Phillips Hue system, so I relegated it to a rarely used covered side porch. The GE bulb is ok, but I vastly prefer the Hues lights.

This "kit" is really just a Google Home Mini and GE C-Life smart bulb packaged together. So see my earlier review on the GE C-Life bulb for my thoughts on those. Put together, this makes a great "starter" kit stocking stuffer to give someone who wants to get started with a smart home.

This kit is the ideal way to get started with home automation. It is really cool to say “Hey Google” and get answers to questions and control connected devices. Connects very easy to the internet.

For anyone that wants to start using smart lighting in their home, this is the starter kit for you. Setup was a breeze with the Google Home app. Keep in mind that your light bulb must be near your Google Home Mini. You will then have the option of adding more smart light bulbs by GE as long as they are within a certain distance from any other GE smart bulb already connected. They form a MESH network amongst themselves so the network can theoretically cover your entire home. The fact that these are LED and dimmable make them a valuable asset to home automation.

This worked as I would have expected - nothing remarkable other than the GE light that came with the Google product worked as it should; this is surprising since the very same bulbs I acquired last week have demonstrated a profound inability to work as they should (other than to light up). These bulbs are the same as the one that came with the google product and would not work with the google product (and the factory reset procedure is one of the worst ever designed so I gave up and just use them as bulbs). The google product recognized the ONE GE bulb and there was an easy process to install.

Google Smart Light Starter Kit Google Home Mini & GE C-Life Smart Bulb Compact packaging includes a chalk google home mini, C-Life Smart Bulb and a get started sheet. Each individually packaged. The mini includes the power supply and instructions. The traditionally packaging and sr up if you were to buy the google home mini on its own. The bulb is stated that it is able to be used in every room due to optimal daytime lighting and Bluetooth enabled. I used it for a bedroom. In order to dim and control the bulb google assistant and the google home app is used for set up of the google mini and smart bulb. The instructions are super simple to follow and the app walks you through the process. The google home mini works like any other one. I wanted to like it but was not as excited as i thought its cool and all but really is just for one room. You have to shell out of course to put some in the rest of your house. I really wouldn’t say that the light itself is smart more so than the mini. I enjoy the mini more so than the light bulb it’s a bit gimmicky but i really had wanted to like it. If you want one try it but start with the starter kit before going all in.

Simple setup. Just had to add the Google mini in the Google Home app and then the smart bulb was automatically discovered by the app. Will update my review after I've had some more time with it, but working as expected so far.

I love the Google Smart Light Starter Kit! I’m able to control the lights with my voice! I can turn them on, turn them off, brighten, and dim the lights! This is great for when I have my hands full! It can also play music, check the weather, set reminders, has up to date traffic, schedule, news, make phone calls, ask questions, and get answers! Hey Google! I am impressed!

A Google mini and light bulb? Perfect mix! We have it in out Airbnb and our renters love it!

I bought other name brands and couldn't get them to connect. Spent 4 hours and gave up. Got this and BOOM! Right off the bat it worked. I'm very pleased with this product, may even buy another for another room. Thanks so much!!

I had an amazon echo and wanted another, but the price of the google home couldn't be beat. Even though I didn't feel we actually needed this, you get hooked. I use it primarily for lighting.

This is personally my favourite, though it kinda make you bit lazy. But I do enjoy its brightness and automatic commands.

Very responsive, light bulb works well and easy to pair.

love google homes and this was a great gift for my dad.

When I originally purchased this kit, I had no issues setting up the Smart Light or using it with my Google Assistant. However, a couple months later, the bulb stopped working with Google to no fault of my own. My lamp was not connected to the light switches on the wall and I only ever turned it off and on with Google. I watched several instruction videos on how to factory reset it, to no avail. Earlier this year, I moved to a new apartment and tried setting it up again. It worked briefly, until I had an Internet issue the next day, and once again, no amount of factory resets has worked to reconnect it to the Google Home app. I would not recommend this light bulb to anyone. I will be trashing it and ordering from a different brand.

I purchased these lights with the expectation they can be set to turn on and off automatically at a preset time like 7 AM wake up time with lights shining in your eyes to wake you up). They do not. All you can do is say, "OK GOOGLE, turn on / off bedroom lights, or dim them". I can do that by myself thank you.

Google home is great, but the bulb dead after “1 day” Only FOR A DAY. It works as a normal bulb, but the bulb is disconnected after a day, and never connected again. I hate this situation. DO NOT BUY THE BULB.
