Lightinginside E12 Smart Light Bulbs Work with Alexa/Google Home, 4PCS

These are awesome. Being able to turn the lights on and off from your phone is reason enough to get these, especially when you have a bunch lamps like I do. I don’t have to worry about fishing the wire out from behind the desk or something to hit the switch, I love it. Both the brightness and color ranges are great. The response time of the physical lights was surprisingly fast. In other words, you can see the changes you’re making on the app reflected in real life basically instantly. This makes fine tuning really easy! The set up is really easy: -Download the app (and give it permissions for like location and “home” data, don’t like that but I guess you have to, whatever) -screw in the light bulb and turn on the light (it starts blinking after a few seconds) -the app will then pick up its signal and they connect. -then through the app, connect the light to the wifi. (I think you can also do it through Bluetooth which I haven’t tried yet. that would be another W for this product) -then you’re in and can start changing the lights through the use of one of two separate color wheels. One color wheel is standard RGB (RBG? You know what I mean) stuff). The other is for the temperature, so the more standard light shades. THE APP: The app does the necessary stuff in a pretty intuitive way that works well. Like it’s really easy to pair the lights and adjust the color. Doing slightly more complicated stuff is a bit more tricky though. I see some other reviewers talking about the app being annoying and I can kind of see why. If you want to make it so that the light bulbs all change in unison you need to create a “room” then a create a “group” and assign the group to the room. Which isn’t terrible, but I could definitely see like my mom having trouble with it. Once you figure that stuff out you can basically do everything that you’d assume you should be able to. Overall great value for the money in my opinion. A pack of 4 for less than $30 is really good for me. I did just buy these recently so I’m unsure about how long they’ll last or if they’ll suddenly stop working. But from what I’ve seen from some other reviews this company seems to be pretty cool and will replace them if it’s reasonable.

Very cool light, love how you can change the colors. Fully dimmable. Very easy to install took a few minutes and connected to my Alexa for voice control. Great price compared to the name brands

Yup these are awesome. Used in outdoor fan gives us the ability to choose between a large variety of colors. Purchased 4 and each one can be customized allowing for multiple hues of each color and brightness... all from the same app. You do have to set each one individually. Download free app, sync and play. You can even create different preset themes and connect for music! No compatability challenges. Most difficult part of installation was carrying the step stool. Great purchase and value.

[UPDATE] I had previously left a negative review indicating that these bulbs had become highly problematic within a couple years of purchase, as they would no longer reconnect to the app and stayed permanently in pairing mode no matter what I did to pair them. Lightinginside reached out to me and offered two replace two bulbs at no cost, as they said their team had recently optimized new versions of the bulbs. These paired extraordinarily quickly and without a single issue. Presumably, these are the new bulbs going out today for new consumers. Given the optimized product and the fact that the company cared enough to actually reach out and correct the issue, I have revised my review to 4 stars. I am subtracting just 1 star because the issue occurred in the first place and my fingers are crossed that their bulb firmware (or whatever the issue was) does not become corrupted in the years to come.

Bright, vibrant, long lasting and much cheaper than other brands like govee or phillips hue. Smartlife app works exceptionally well with them and makes it extremely easy to set up.

Bought this ages ago and loved it After moving out from my aunt the OLD bulb didn't work anymore, connection was bad and won't respond to the app control. Cause it was such an old purchase I didn't expect support to reach out to me and offer a replacement for a NEW updated one. The new bulb works just like how the old one did but with new light options! Now my beloved crow lamp is alive again!

They were easy to program and even have a phone contact number if you get stuck that helped me out quickly. They work great, no issues.

I purchased these bulbs because a bulb in a ceiling fan burned out and I had been wanting to try some RGB bulbs. In addition to these, I bought some standard-base RGB bulbs from another manufacturer for the fixtures in both my bathrooms and they paired instantly via Bluetooth and I can control them individually or in groups. These, however, I initially got paired but the app lost contact with them maybe an hour later and after that I could not get them to pair sucessfully after over twenty minutes of trying. I was sitting less than six feet from them, reset them several times and it took over a minute trying to pair each one and they all failed. The app also wants me to give it my Wi-Fi password and wants to track my phone's location, even though I have no intention of trying to control the lights from outside my home. That in itself is a near dealbreaker. But even after giving it the password and location access, the bulbs still wouldn't pair and none of the troubleshooting steps in the manual either applied or worked if they did. Even when they were paired, and after adding all of them to a 'room' in the app, I still had no group control over them except to turn them all on or off. Creating scenes is a convoluted process that, again, doesn't allow the bulbs to be configured as a group, which, frankly, makes no sense. They're LIGHT BULBS, for crying out loud! It shouldn't be this hard to operate them and with the other brand I bought, it wasn't. I'm returning these and will not purchase from this manufacturer going forward. My recommendation: PASS

Love this! Inexpensive compared to others. Needs no costly, new hub to connect. AND...BIG BONUS...it connected VERY easily to Alexa. WorksGREAT!

Love them! Very nice quality and colour, easy to use in the app

Good

If you're looking for a smart bulb for Ikea tokabo (the mini mushroom light) this is it! It may appear slightly too big but the bulb diffuser (the opaque cover) is pliable and it will get it with just a little bit of coaxing :)
