Smart Light Bulbs 100W Equivalent, 1350LM 11W WiFi Smart Bulb Compatible with Alexa/Google Assistant/Smart Life, A19 E26 RGBCW Color Changing, No Hub Required,2.4G WiFi, ETL Listed,4PCS

I've tried a lot of bulbs and these are my favorite. As I've had some come and go from age I now only return to this item to replace them. There might be better out there but for my purposes and usages these have served me well.The only odd thing with the latest batch I purchased is that the colors do not match some of the previous ones I bought. Not all of the colors but some of them you can tell they aren't the same. Primarily when I set it to "dark orange" which is one of my favorite morning/night settings to simulate sunrise/sunset. The newer bulbs I bought this year (2025) are more yellow than orange compared to my older bulbs from the same company. Might have just been a fluke for me but something to consider.

I purchased the 3-pack. After registering them in the app, I realized they do not change color aside from the color temp (warm white - daylight white). In fact out of the 3, one registered as a different type "G32" with a "newer" layout for dimming/turning on & off. I'm wondering if these bulbs are really from the company. While they are in a Lightinginside box, there is no "Lightinginside" logo on the bulbs or any logo for that matter. I am returning and will purchase another brand.Some tips after struggling to get them added in the Smart Life app as these bulbs did NOT register automatically by tapping Add Device and letting it search while they were in "pairing mode". They had to be added manually.1- I have an Eero router setup, so I Googled how to set it temporarily to 2.4 GHz only (done in Settings > Troubleshooting > My device won't connect > My device is 2.4 GHz only > Temporarily pause 5 GHz.)2- In the Smart Life app, tap Add Device > Lighting > Light Source (Wi-Fi).3- Under your Wifi network, type your password and tap Next.4- Reset the device/put in "pairing mode" by turning power on, off, on, off, on. The bulb will flash quickly (about twice per second) and tap "Confirm the indicator is blinking or breathing".I also connected them successfully on the "Tuya Smart" app which has an identical menu to the Smart Life app. (also no color for me BTW!) This was on my phone from a previous smart lamp purchase. If you have another app that's already linked to Alexa, perhaps try pairing the bulbs with that one instead to save yourself the hassle of creating a new account and adding yet another app on your phone. Hope this helps out someone.-----------------------Update 2/21/24Lightinginside has contacted me and explained that dishonest Amazon customers have been returning their old items in their packaging to get a refund for their product, and the bulbs I received are not really theirs. They've offered to send me replacement bulbs directly, at no additional charge. I will update this review after I've had a chance to test them.In the meantime, changing my 1 star to 3 for their efforts.-----------------------Update 2/27/24As they promised, Lightinginside sent me a set of replacement bulbs at no charge for my troubles (even after I returned the originals and received my refund.)These bulbs are very easy to connect, very bright, and are RGB and have all kinds of custom scenes (I'll probably not use, but they're there.)After reading some other reviews, I'd like to share my findings on two of the reported issues that caught my attention, and had some influence on whether I should try this brand. 1st on connecting, and 2nd, how hot they get.1- I connected two bulbs in my older bedroom ceiling light with no problems at all. Unlike the 1st set of "customer swapped non-RGB bulbs", these detected immediately after tapping the "+" icon, Add Device, and and letting the app search for them. I do believe forcing your Wifi to use only 2.4 GHz at least during this step may help with connecting.2- How hot they get. I did notice that the base of the lights did get very hot to the touch. I left them on for about 20 minutes at 100% brightness, then took out my IR temperature gun. One bulb reached about 172 degrees F. The other about 167 degrees F. However, I understand that old incandescent bulbs could reach over 250 degrees F. Also, these bulbs are 1350 LM, which are brighter than normal. I also tested a set of TP-Link Kasa Smart bulbs (1000 LM) and my temperature gun read around 150 degrees F for those. The Lightinginside bulbs do have the markings showing they're "ETL" Certified, so I'll assume these temperatures are normal. If I dim them, the temperature will drop accordingly.The app has some interesting features, although a little confusing IMO.-It took me a while to figure out how to group the two devices together as both bulbs are in the ceiling. (Tap the device, then the "pencil" icon on the top right, then Create Group.)-Then once grouped, your settings are now limited to "Schedule" and "Power on behavior". Gone are "Plan", "Timer", and "Circadian Rhythm" something I'd like to try.However all in all, I'm very happy with these bulbs ands their customer service!

Edit: I am adding extra star because the vendor has reached out to replace the failed bulbs after i had written my initial review. I appreciate good customer service.Original post: These bulbs are very bright and connecting to them and controlling them is very easy. Setting them up and configuring them was also very easy. I had bought bulbs from a different brand and they were nowhere as good as these.The reason for the low stars is that they have only lasted me 8-10 months and two have already failed.I ended up ordering another set because I really like these bulbs. Too bad that they don’t last as long.

When I saw these bulbs, and their higher Lumens rating, saw in description that the Tuya application wasn't listed under compatability. Gave it a try anyways, because I got tired of getting stuck with 450 lumens, with every bulb I tried.Pros:▪︎Can see entree bathroom!▪︎Full access with Tuya application, along with others listed in description.▪︎Full spectrum including white.Cons:Sadly, I now notice I need to wash my walls I can now see :(

Really like these programmable LED's. Have a lot of fun with them, and so far haven't had any problems. They are super bright, and easily set to a warm white to mimic incandescent bulbs. Have a bunch of them programmed to be on or off using the smart life app so I don't have to worry about making sure they are off when they are supposed to be. Would recommend!

Had an issue resetting one of these bulbs after a houseguest turned it off for a week. Contacted the company and they responded promptly and quickly sent me a replacement. Excellent customer service!
