These bulbs work well. I didn't get them for the color adjustment but I checked and the colors seem fine. But I really have no desire to work in blue or red or green light. I got these bulbs because of their 900 lumen brightness and at full brightness they are very bright. You also have the ability to control their color temperature so the light is white or yellow or anything in between. I do have some suggestions for setting these up that may avoid problems. The light fixture I'm using has 4 bulbs. I chose to have only one of my four bulbs installed when I was doing its seup. This was probably not necessary but when doing the setup a bulb times out after 3 minutes so I would probably have to put the bulbs in setup mode more than once anyway since I'm not fast enough to configure all 4 bulbs in 3 minutes. To put a bulb in setup mode you flip the power switch ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON and after a delay of a few seconds the bulb begins to flash on and off. When operating the power switch don't try to rush it. In the OFF-ON-OFF parts I would wait perhaps a second in each switch position. I think at first I flipped the switch too fast and the bulb didn't go into setup mode. You set a bulb up using the Smart Life app on your smartphone. Make sure your phone is connected to your 2.4 GHz network!! I knew the bulbs only connect to a 2.4 GHz network but I wasn't aware the phone must be on that network as well (but only for setup). The reason is that the Smart Life app automatically picks up the network name from the phone so if your phone is connected to your 5 GHz network, Smart Life will be using the wrong network name. Next, in Smart Life select + (which is add device), lighting, light source (WiFi). After entering your network password you come to the page with a flashing light. At this point, if you haven't already, do the ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON and make sure the bulb is flashing fast. Now you will see a large blue button labeled "Next" but it is greyed out. Just above it is some very small text that says "Confirm indicator rapidly blink" (which should really read bulb instead of indicator). You must click on this text to get the Next button to become active. There is no checkmark box or other indication that this is true and it took me a while to figure it out. After clicking next the bulb will be programmed and added to Smart Life. If you have multiple bulbs as I do you probably want to group them so they all behave as one. It is very much not obvious how to do this. At this point you will have a page with all your bulbs listed. Click on any one you want added to a group and you will have the page where you control that bulb. There will be a pencil in the upper right hand corner of that page. Click on the pencil and you will have a page where there is the option to Create Group. When done, in addition to your bulbs the group name will be listed and you can control the group exactly like you do a bulb. There is another way to set up a bulb that I will mention. If you do the ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON twice in a row the bulb will slow-flash. In this mode the bulb actually becomes a WiFi source and you connect your phone to that WiFi which is unsecured. The WiFi name will be obvious but I don't remember exactly what it is. I configured one bulb this way and all I recall is that it was obvious what to do. The last thing you may want to do is add bulb control to Alexa. You do this by adding the Smart Life Skill to the Alexa app.

These bulbs are easy to set up and produce an easy to adjust variety of lighting. They worked out of the box producing bright daylight color. The included instructions made it easy to get started. The SmartLife app is straightforward and allows you to link to automation.I started with two bulbs which were easily paired and setup as a single lighting group. The app allows you to operate both bulbs independently or as one grouped unit. In a fan with 4 bulbs, you can selectively turn on or off each bulb to adjust the direction and level of light.You can play around with various scenes or time of day schedules to adjust your lighting level and color. For example, you might want to tone down the light and drop the blue light at night to avoid eye strain. The color selection is very granular and allows for just about any combination you might need. I would definitely consider purchasing a few more complete the scene in my office.

Still working great, I would like to get 2 more but I don't think they selling these anymore

Took some time and effort to connect. The pairing process requires rapidly toggling the on/off switch of your fixture in a certain way in order to make the bulb blink in a certain pattern. If your fixture has a simple switch, no problem. If you have a rotary switch or knob it may take a while to get it right. That said, in the end all is well!

Bought these June 2020. At first they were super easy to set up and work. Now not so much. Tell me why i have spent the last 45 minutes trying to reconnect a light bulb. Same wifi ive always had, everything else that i have is able connect and be connected and be connected with Alexa but these lightbulbs are a pain in the ass. They will flash like they will pair and then never connect. You can connect doing the hot spot which needs to have a slow blink but good luck getting the lightbulb to corporate. spend the extra money and keep scrolling.

These bulbs are great. I have several throughout the house. Warm white, daylight white or whatever color/brightness as well. 5 bulbs suddenly stopped working (all in same lamp but no power fluctuation) one week before the year warranty end and customer service was fast to respond, sent me 6 bulbs to replace after a few days of troubleshooting.

I had high hopes for these lights but it just doesn't stay connected with alexa. What a bummer because it is a great idea. We had it working really well and then it just stopped working. We reset wifi, reinstalled apps you name it. However, it works wonderful with the app but I specifically purchased to work with Alexa.

Just stopped connecting to wifi network for no apparent reason. Reset router, moved bulb, did everything I could think of but will not connect anymore. Not a smart bulb, now just a dumb bulb.
