Smart Light Bulbs 100W Equiv., 1350LM 11W Smart Bulb Works with Alexa/Google Home/Smart Life, A19 E26 RGBCW Color Changing, No Hub Required, 2.4G WiFi Bluetooth Bulb, ETL Listed, 4PCS

**Update**The company reached out to me after my initial review. They sent replacement bulbs to me (as they have updated their technology in their bulbs). The shipping of the replacement bulbs were very quick! After I received the bulbs, I tried them again in the same light fixtures as before. One bulb connected right away and almost effortlessly in less than 5 minutes, start to finish. Super impressive! I then tried 4 more. These four, took a bit longer. I tried everything and anything I could think of. After 2 hours, restarting the app multiple times and screwing the bulbs in and out a few times, they connected! This was huge as before I never even got to this step. However, 3 of the 4 bulbs then wouldn’t fully connect as I had no color, scene or setting options. I continued to try various things and eventually they all connected as they should AND with all their settings!!! Connecting them to my Google Home was super simple and effortless. Once they all synced they have been amazing bulbs. I’d recommend these, just be patient and know it may take a bit to get them fully synced but once they are, they’re bright, colors are bright and true to color, dimmable, voice controlled through Google Home (in my case) and a great feature to have in your rooms. Also, a HUGE shout out to their customer service (Maggie) as they reached out, stood by their product, offered help and suggestions to get the bulbs to function properly, timely with responses, replaced their product with fast shipping and over all was amazing to deal with! Highly recommend their company for these traits alone as those are hard to come by in companies these days! Definitely updating my stars from 1 to 5 for everything they have done to ensure a happy customer and for the lights being as amazing as they described!I bought 8 of these. So far, I’ve tried to install 6 of them. So far only 1 works. I absolutely loathe the set up for these lights! You have to install an app (and sign up for it) then you have to pair the lights. After pairing then you can go through your Google/Alexa and set them up there. A lot of steps and useless app for a lightbulb, imo. Pairing the lights with the app is where 5/6 lightbulbs have failed. I’ve tested the internet and performed a speed evaluation and it’s using the 2.4, should be all systems go. I made sure the light was on and flashing. I worked over 90 minutes last night trying to pair 1 lightbulb and it never did pair; I put it back in the box. I’ve had one lightbulb (same house and set up) that paired within 20 minutes of beginning the process. I’m not a fan of these bulbs just from the set up process. I do not recommend these to anyone that has a life past installing lightbulbs.They are bright, from what I can tell with the one bulb. That is probably the only reason for the one star in this review bc otherwise they’re not even worth the one star.

I purchased the 3-pack. After registering them in the app, I realized they do not change color aside from the color temp (warm white - daylight white). In fact out of the 3, one registered as a different type "G32" with a "newer" layout for dimming/turning on & off. I'm wondering if these bulbs are really from the company. While they are in a Lightinginside box, there is no "Lightinginside" logo on the bulbs or any logo for that matter. I am returning and will purchase another brand.Some tips after struggling to get them added in the Smart Life app as these bulbs did NOT register automatically by tapping Add Device and letting it search while they were in "pairing mode". They had to be added manually.1- I have an Eero router setup, so I Googled how to set it temporarily to 2.4 GHz only (done in Settings > Troubleshooting > My device won't connect > My device is 2.4 GHz only > Temporarily pause 5 GHz.)2- In the Smart Life app, tap Add Device > Lighting > Light Source (Wi-Fi).3- Under your Wifi network, type your password and tap Next.4- Reset the device/put in "pairing mode" by turning power on, off, on, off, on. The bulb will flash quickly (about twice per second) and tap "Confirm the indicator is blinking or breathing".I also connected them successfully on the "Tuya Smart" app which has an identical menu to the Smart Life app. (also no color for me BTW!) This was on my phone from a previous smart lamp purchase. If you have another app that's already linked to Alexa, perhaps try pairing the bulbs with that one instead to save yourself the hassle of creating a new account and adding yet another app on your phone. Hope this helps out someone.-----------------------Update 2/21/24Lightinginside has contacted me and explained that dishonest Amazon customers have been returning their old items in their packaging to get a refund for their product, and the bulbs I received are not really theirs. They've offered to send me replacement bulbs directly, at no additional charge. I will update this review after I've had a chance to test them.In the meantime, changing my 1 star to 3 for their efforts.-----------------------Update 2/27/24As they promised, Lightinginside sent me a set of replacement bulbs at no charge for my troubles (even after I returned the originals and received my refund.)These bulbs are very easy to connect, very bright, and are RGB and have all kinds of custom scenes (I'll probably not use, but they're there.)After reading some other reviews, I'd like to share my findings on two of the reported issues that caught my attention, and had some influence on whether I should try this brand. 1st on connecting, and 2nd, how hot they get.1- I connected two bulbs in my older bedroom ceiling light with no problems at all. Unlike the 1st set of "customer swapped non-RGB bulbs", these detected immediately after tapping the "+" icon, Add Device, and and letting the app search for them. I do believe forcing your Wifi to use only 2.4 GHz at least during this step may help with connecting.2- How hot they get. I did notice that the base of the lights did get very hot to the touch. I left them on for about 20 minutes at 100% brightness, then took out my IR temperature gun. One bulb reached about 172 degrees F. The other about 167 degrees F. However, I understand that old incandescent bulbs could reach over 250 degrees F. Also, these bulbs are 1350 LM, which are brighter than normal. I also tested a set of TP-Link Kasa Smart bulbs (1000 LM) and my temperature gun read around 150 degrees F for those. The Lightinginside bulbs do have the markings showing they're "ETL" Certified, so I'll assume these temperatures are normal. If I dim them, the temperature will drop accordingly.The app has some interesting features, although a little confusing IMO.-It took me a while to figure out how to group the two devices together as both bulbs are in the ceiling. (Tap the device, then the "pencil" icon on the top right, then Create Group.)-Then once grouped, your settings are now limited to "Schedule" and "Power on behavior". Gone are "Plan", "Timer", and "Circadian Rhythm" something I'd like to try.However all in all, I'm very happy with these bulbs ands their customer service!

UPDATED. Seller sent me 4 new bulbs. Connected easily and works the way they should! Maybe I just got an old batch the first time. Happy with my replacements. Good job seller! Thanks.Connected 1 of 4 to the Smart Life app. I'm not new to the app, I have many devices set up in it, including other smart bulbs. I noticed this bulb was lit and should have been off, based on the schedule I set and it was offline. I put it back online and reset the schedule. I then replaced a second light bulb in my system with one from same box. It's online but not being controlled consistently by the app. I can't turn it on/off with the app. I am now well past my return date so... garbage can they go. For reference, installed first bulb on 7/4, today is 10/6. As mentioned, one bulb was just installed today.

I have had a couple of Wi-Fi-enabled lights; these are by far the easiest to set up. You can customize easy buttons to do multiple lights in one scene. They work great, they have all the colors you could want. It is bright and lights up a room where I get no natural sunlight. Overall, these are the best ones I have found so far. I plan on putting more in my house.

I ordered eight of these bulbs. They are extra bright and I was only interested in the warm white/soft white color spectrum and they are perfect - much brighter than the standard 60W equivalent smart bulbs, but easily dimmable via voice command. Seven of the eight bulbs connected instantly through the app. The eighth bulb was sluggish to connect and had difficulty staying connected. I reached out to the manufacturer who responded instantly and sent me a replacement immediately and followed up to make sure it was working. Who does that anymore? Great light, great company. This is it.
