3.0 out of 5 starsGood, but...

These are good for a very cheap set of smart bulbs, but you definitely get what you pay for.
Pros:
- Smart bulbs that won't break the bank
- Easy control from app
- Lots of colors and pre-made light patterns to choose from
- The app has a loyalty program that let's you earn points to get discounts on more of their products
Cons:
- They're not very bright and the amount of different between 1% and 50% brightness is pretty laughable.
- Colour accuracy is very questionable (not that it's a big issue, but sometimes when you want a certain color it's nice to be able to just pick that color)
- WiFi connection can be spotty
- Command response is pretty laggy
- Their app has a ton of functionalities but a lot of them are not well explained or easy to find/figure out and some of the "automations" don't seem to work as advertised. There are also a lot of really basic functionalities that you might expect (ex being able to put a group of lights on a timer - if you can turn them on and off and change their lighting together, why can't you put them on a timer together instead of individually?)
Ah well, they're okay, but they're not great. As I said, you get what you pay for with these lights and for me they're functional enough because I mostly use it for mood lighting and prefer low, warm lighting, but for anyone who wants or expects their smart bulb to really light up a room....I'd try something else.
