Not worth the hassle

These bulbs work as standard light bulbs but wouldn't pair with Alexa and even had issues updating the firmware , not worth the hassle

Great bulbs but only work with Bluetooth. Not able to control with WiFi when away from home. The different colors are nice

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome concept; seem great so far!

Love the "Follow the Sun" setting. The app on my android phone didn't connect to the bulbs reliably. But it connects like a champ to my old iPhone5, so that's what I keep around in the living room to adjust the lights if we need to. But, they're pretty self-sufficient on the "follow the sun" timers, so we don't often need to adjust. We like the circadian benefits so much we bought another set for our stairwell lights. Seems to work pretty well. Now that we're using the PM setting in the living room while we decompress at night, my husband and I both have been getting to sleep easier when we hit the sack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to set up and effective! Highly recommend.

I got some of these in a google home bundle for Christmas and I wanted some more so I decided the get these, which are more lumens and wattage than the bulbs I previously had. I wasn’t too sure about buying more because of the reviews on here but I noticed everyone’s gripe seems to be with the GE app. I personally use my google home app and it takes 5 seconds to set up each bulb, literally. Super easy and convenient. Highly recommend. No need to download the GE app if you already have an Alexa or google home app. Brightness is awesome and adjustable to other hues (daylight, ivory, candle light, etc)

3.0 out of 5 stars They work great, but spyware required.

I'm using these with just the app on my phone and a regular wall switch. They work great for the most part. It's a little annoying that the bulbs lose track of time if you turn them off using a regular wall switch. You have to connect with the app to get the automation back on track. This would also be true after a power outage. What I find infuriating is that the app forces you to turn location on to do anything. The only reason for this is to collect data for GE. There's absolutely no reason an app needs location data to turn on a light bulb. I only turn on location when I need it, so that's two extra steps every time I use the app just because GE wants to spy on customers.

4.0 out of 5 stars they are perfectly good.

The app sometimes has trouble connecting to the bulbs, and sometimes it even logs out of the account. Otherwise, they are perfectly good.

1.0 out of 5 stars An incredibly bad product

Despite the bad reviews, most of them are old so I figured they would have ironed out the kinks by now, and boy was I wrong. The bulbs actually set up painlessly, much better than a different brand I tried (and also failed at) but upon opening the app I realized one of the bulbs had old firmware, making me unable to change the brightness or the light temperature. The update failed, no joke, about 35 times. I tried all the standard troubleshooting, I even created a new room to maybe, assign the bulbs to which was a terrible mistake. Once I did that, the one working bulb stopped responding to the app and when you go to the reset procedure in the app, it redirects you to an old YouTube troubleshooting video which doesn't even work with the new firmware!I expected something a bit better from a bigger company like GE but this is a total flop. Don't waste your time or money because you'll just end up frustrated like me, and a return to Amazon.
