These bulbs are actually better than my Hue ones! The app they work with is very easy to set up, and has loads of options, you can set them to go on n off at specific times, or when a certain condition is met - I.E. at sunset they come on, or even upon arrival to your home the hallway light can be set to come on for you. They can be set to go off at your usual bedtime too.
They work with Alexa flawlessly, I’ve not had any issues linking these bulbs to my Echo Dot. Alexa has never forgotten they exist or taken issue with them, like she occasionally does with my Hue ones.
You can set scenes, where the bulbs will change colour according to a routine you’ve set up. You can put them on party mode, where they’ll change colour at a speed of your choice. Which is so much fun when you get Alexa involved. You can set them to one colour (my son likes a pale blue light on the landing at night) and you can adjust the brightness along with the “temperature” of the white light. So it can be a warm white or cool white. All this can be done on the app, so you don’t necessarily need to buy an Echo device. Or you can ask Alexa to adjust the brightness to whatever % you’d like.
At 100% brightness they are very bright, so great for doing close work and at 1% they’re dim enough to give a cosy and relaxing atmosphere, without struggling to see. Great for watching films and still want to see where you put the popcorn. These types of bulbs are said to last a good 10-20 years, which is probably cheaper than replacing traditional lightbulbs and definitely better than even energy saving bulbs, because they can be a bit too dim or take ages to brighten. Plus with the app, you can see if any lights got left on at home and just turn them off remotely. Or if you’re away from home, you can remotely turn lights on and off, to make it appear as if someone is home. The options are literally endless. They’re excellent value for money as they are a little cheaper than other brands, but don’t require an extra purchase, such as a bridge when you fit more than 5, for example. Adding these to my home has been so easy and it is cool when the lights come on and off, adjust their brightness or change colour for you.
