Sengled Smart Light Bulbs WiFi Full Color A19 2pk

These lights are a game changer! I love the versatility is color and brightness. The quality is great and they are easily controlled in the app or by Alexa. Dimmability is great. They don't put off heat either.

Almost all of our lights in our house are sengled now. They are easy to use with the app, and pair well with alexa. They are super customizable with the colors and have lasted years.

Lights were easy to set up and work well. My son loves changing the colors in his room. Only issue is connectivity seems to go in and out sometimes.

These are great. I connected them to our Amazon Alexa device and use one over our door with the doorbell camera. When someone presses the doorbell, we can change the lighting (brightness, color, etc.) from the other end of the house and view whoever is there more clearly. You can even set the lights to switch from red to green to red during Christmas season, or to cycle through all the colors continuously.

These lights are really great and they're super easy to get started with. Just download the Sengled Home app (which allows you to connect the lights to your WiFi). Then from there you'll be able to add them to Google Home, SmartThings, etc. even if you uninstall the app.The app does come with some pretty cool features like a Halloween mode where it switches between orangey colors. It has random color modes and a few other nifty things. Normally I like to uninstall apps I don't particularly need but I decided to keep it because of an amazing feature that I think I'll use all the time now: sunset and sunrise.Set a time and the lights will start dimming to 0% over the desired period of time (5, 10, and 15 minutes) for sunset or going to 50% for sunrise. I'm not sure why sunrise only goes to 50% (I've only just used it this morning), but I like it and it's not too harsh on your eyes in the morning.I also really like how short the delay is between the Sengled Home app and the lights. I usually use SmartThings, but when I use the real app and I change the color or brightness, the light changes pretty much instantly. Most smart lights take a second to update so this is pretty cool.The color range on these is decent and it displays colors pretty brightly. What this means is if you want bright colored lights then that's perfect but if you want a dark mood and want to set the lights to dark purple or something then forget it. You can't even do dark purple with these lights it's more of a purpley white. Dark red is great and dark blue is pretty bright (but pretty dark too so good job). Most RGB lights have issues pulling off a good dark purple, so I won't take away any stars for that. The attached photo shows dark purple at 100% brightness.The ONLY issue I've run into is that curiously some of the lights randomly turn on. I've made sure there weren't any scenes or automations that were telling it to turn on. This morning one of my lights just randomly went full brightness at 2:14am. I hope this is a bug that gets fixed or just a super rare issue. It also happened earlier in the day yesterday so I'm not sure what's going on here. It's only happened twice so I can't say it's bothering me but it did wake me up in the middle of the night and make me think I was supposed to get up.Anyway, I'm very satisfied with this product but please fix this!

I have updated my review because of the requirement for a "positive review" to receive a free product from them. it's unethical and amazon should not allow the practice.It's a huge decision figuring out which smart bulbs you want to buy, because you're probably stuck with them/the brand for a long time!! So I did my research on what I thought were the best/least expensive brand and decided sengled was "good enough"I went for the wifi option without a hub so everything is connected directly to my router. I currently have 10 lights hooked up to my router.I got my bulbs on sale for 20.99Installation went very well! Took me about 20 minutes to set up 10 bulbs. I downloaded the app, plugged in the bulb. Added each bulb and each bulb took about 30 seconds to a minute to fully connect. I had to reset a few bulbs which all you have to do is turn the light switch on and off 5 times really fast. It worked, but I could see how that could be annoying for some people if you accidentally reset or if you only want to reset one bulb, you'll reset all of them hooked up to the switch. I wish you could connect multiple bulbs at once, but you must do them individually, and it's actually easier to plug in one at a time.Connectivity. My Router is definitely a top model router, so I wasn't expecting any issues with connections, but I still find them to be a tiny bit spotty. 99% of the time they work the way I want, but sometimes the light's won't do what I ask right away unless I turn them on and off or wait a while. This is something I'll need to wait and see how they perform.One other thing I've noticed is you'll experience a bit of lag time when you turn your switch on to when the lights decide they will turn on. I think they turn on, connect to the router, then decide what color and if they should be on or not. It's about a quarter second or so, but it's not instant like non smart bulbs. When multiple bulbs are connected to the same switch, each bulb will act independently and it can be weird having very slight variations in the timing of each bulb turning on. The off switch is instant though.Functionality of the bulbs is pretty solid. They have virtually infinite colors, 100 brightness options 1%-100%. It's really fun messing with the colors and brightnesses. Each color can be different brightnesses as well. You can group bulbs in rooms, set timers, different color coordinations with scenes, wake up mode and sleep mode. The only ones that I'll want to use is the different scenes.I had hoped to see a rainbow/color changing option just to show off the bulbs or have some fun with them, but there is no such option I could find. I hope sengled adds this option to the app at some point.I don't have a lot of experience with other smart bulbs, but I'm pretty happy with my purchase. They are fun, pretty easy to set up and work overall pretty well even with 10 bulbs connected in 3 different rooms.If you get the wifi bulbs I don't think there is any option to connect to your google home or alexa. You need the hub if you want to do that.It would take a really long time to actually save money on electricity with the bulbs. These are more fun than money saving, but the app does show how much electricity each bulb has used, and I thought that was a pretty fun addition to the app. My previous bulbs were very hot to the touch, hot enough to burn my fingers. These get warm near the base, but are basically room temperature everywhere on the bulb.
