This is a truly awesome piece of tech. Any colour you want (except brown - it doesn't do brown well, but who wants brown light anyway), with brilliance control and the ability to schedule what it does and when, plus the ability to control it remotely, plus lots of funky flashing and colour changing modes, and the ability to create and modify those modes. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Light colour does affect people emotionally, and these bulbs give total control of that. Any mood anytime, with ease. I was worried when I came to install the first one thinking how can this work? This process is ridiculously easy (although it helps if you spend 30 seconds reading the manual first). 1. Install the control app. 2.Turn the light on and off at the wall switch three times quickly to put the bulb into 'Setup Mode', 3. Use the App to find the bulb on your Wi-Fi network, name it, and take control of it. Whoever designed these really understood the problem they were solving, and knows how to create simple to use, elegant and feature rich user interfaces. I use the Google Home app to control mine, and it is brilliant. Settling in to watch a movie at the cinema and the intro gets to the bit about please turn off your mobile. I suddenly think "Did I turn the lights off at home?". A quick look and no, I didn't! Never mind, tap tap and they are off. That quick, that easy. There is also the consideration that these bulbs are so energy efficient that it wouldn't matter financially if you did forget to turn them off, but let's try to do the responsible thing for the environment. Now I leave an old Smartphone on the bedside cabinet in my guest bedroom, so that any visitors can use it to control their room light without getting out of bed. It's set up so that they can't mess with any other light in my home (although I can control theirs remotely). The scheduling software is totally amazing too. You can either tell it to turn on/off a specific light or group of lights at a specific time, or tell it to do so at variable times defined by sunset or sunrise at the location where the lightbulb actually is. How cool is that! So well thought out. Thomas Edison changed the World when he (or whoever it was - I don't want that argument) invented electric lighting. This is almost as massive a leap forward. I think he'd be blown away by what these fabulous sci-fi lightbulbs can do, and there's a good chance you will be too. I highly recommend this product.Read full review

Bought two of these, colours are dull at 100% and White light is bright but harsh. The second of the two refuses to connect to the network, device is recognised but when firmware tries to install it gets to 100% and then fails. Other than the five minutes entertainment I had putting the working one in the bathroom and scaring the kids by making the lights do spooky stuff, I wish I’d spent the extra and got better ones. Disappointing but the risk you take by trying a cheaper brand.

Was easy to set up with my phone and within a few minutes was able to control it with both my phone and the Alexa on my kindle fire seven you can turn it on and of dim it and change colour both withe app and through your voice couldn't recommend it enough qnd will definitely be buying more for the whole house

Cheap but cheerful smart bulbs that do what they say on the box with the minimum of fuss. Can be controlled by Alexa or Google Hoime, or via the phone app (which for once is well designed and easy to use). As per nornal with far-eastern tech' the little written manual is hard to understand at times, but the bulbs are simple enough not to really need it.

I turned it on prematurely and had to get it to flash again to sync it, was 10 mins faffing so read the instruction first and don't be an idiot like me, after that it was easy to set up, I've even set it up thru voice control with the Google home app...coolest feature, I guess I ordered a cooler colour acidently and if you have a nice size room like me I'd look for a brighter one, that's the only con I can find with it lets hope it lasts as long as they say, but would recommend 👍
