Light Color Changing Equivalent Choices Reviews Summary

Remote Control and Connectivity

Pros:

• "Remote works through glass globe which is great and saves previous setting so no resetting every time you turn it on."
• "The remote works twenty feet away. 2700k is a comfortable white."
• "The remotes have 21 buttons, which beside the obvious on/off switches allow you to dim or brighten, select individual colors, cycle through all at higher or lower rates of speed, etc., etc."
• "I can use one remote to control all 3 of our lights."
• "I love that I can set when they will come on and how many hours to stay on."
• "Can change colors with a push on the remote. Can even use the remote as a timer."
• "The remote makes it convenient in a room where the light switch isn’t in an ideal spot or just when you don’t want to get up!"

Cons:

• "Only thing is don't lose the remotes because there's no other way to do anything with them so basically there no good without it."
• "The remote does not always work the first time that you press the buttons."
• "Hang on to that remote! It is tiny and is only paired with ONE specific light bulb. Each bulb has one dedicated remote. If you lose it, the other remotes in the box won't replace it."
• "Does a great job for the price. Only bad thing is a little weird: the remote and my stereo system are somehow on the same frequency so every time I turn down the volume on my TV I also change the light color."
• "The light is cool but I spent forever trying to get the remote open it’s extremely difficult to get open said it didn’t come with batteries but it does."
• "They won't turn off when they start flashing either, or at least not from the remote -- you have to turn the light off at the source."
• "I took off a star bc I washed a remote control and it stopped working."

Lighting Quality and Color Options

Pros:

• "These bulbs do a great job of lighting up a medium sized room with a nice variety of different colors."
• "The colors are bright and vivid, not washed out as some bulbs are."
• "Definitely bright enough to illuminate my whole room and closet."
• "The lightbulb gives you lots of options to pick from and all the colors are pretty vibrant."
• "The bulbs work as advertised, the colors are vibrant and atmospheric."
• "These look great and are very bright."
• "The colors are really nice. The remote works twenty feet away. 2700k is a comfortable white. Daylight white is too blue and kind of sick looking."

Cons:

• "These are a great product, does exactly what it says. However they are 40w and not as bright as I need for my project."
• "When they work, these lightbulbs are gorgeous. However, in my overhead light, they sometimes break and flash a color over and over again no matter what input is given on the remote."
• "I was expecting a colorful glow of light going into the whole tank - but only a small amount of color in the immediate area goes in."
• "Great remote/connectivity, mid color selection, but significantly dimmer than i expected."
• "These only let you adjust the brightness to 3 pre set levels (dim, normal, bright) and none of them ever seem to be the amount of light I want."
• "But if you ever want to switch to standard room lighting the 'white' setting is disappointingly dim."
• "Wife wanted color for front porch, ordered these and all the colors are just so dull and not bright."

Installation and Setup

Pros:

• "Just screw them in and flip the switch."
• "As advertised! All the colors and modes work as they say. “Set up” was as easy as any other light bulb."
• "Very easy to install. Just screw in the lightbulb and press the ‘on’ button on the remote."
• "These are fun and easy to use. Simply screw them into the socket and choose your color on the remote."
• "Super easy to install and control with the remote."
• "Simple to use. Screw them into your existing e26 bases and go."
• "Met my expectations and more. Just turn the lamp on and screw in the bulb and the fun begins."

Cons:

• "I have another switch with an in-wall timer, and this flashed constantly, even when the timer was turned off."
• "Great bulbs, but one doesn't work with the hour shut. It flashes however many hours I set it to and it's always the only bulb still on in the morning."
• "I tried a different led bulb to go in ceiling fan with other two. It won’t work on the remote."
• "Light bulbs are mini bulbs not regular size but it doesn’t say tat in discription."
• "Also, the color options are limited compared to other RGB bulbs I have."
• "Bought a set of 4 in 2021. I replaced that set with a new one in May 2022. Now all 8 of them do the same thing. Once they are switched on all they do is continually blink and can't be stopped unless you turn off the switch."
• "These last a few months. I purchased them in early July and they stopped working a few months back."

Value and Longevity

Pros:

• "I've owned several light bulbs/ strips with remote control color changing abilities and this is by far the best i've found for the price."
• "I don’t know much about regular light bulbs, but the fact that these come with a 2 year warranty for this price is reassuring."
• "We have been using these for almost two years and they're still going strong."
• "These lights are honestly amazing. I'm always skeptical with electronics here but these bulbs are very good and durable."
• "For 18$ you really can’t beat that price for the quality these bulbs are."
• "Love these bulbs! 1 year later and they work great."
• "These are a much better value considering they are a fraction of the cost of wifi enabled light bulbs."

Cons:

• "Only bad part about em is the fact you can't separate colors by bulb so you can't mix and match."
• "You are probably better off buying more expensive lightbulbs. Not these. Save you money and potential brain accidents."
• "I was not impressed with the color and design of the bulbs in-person compared to the pictures."
• "Threw away the packaging so I couldn’t return but after having for a month and a half the bulbs no longer work."
• "I bought an $11 led bulb with a remote first before i bought these. That $11 does more than this 4 bulb set does and more."
• "I bought these bulbs for my son. I expected them to last a few months. One went out after 3 days. Really!!!"
• "I purchased the 4 pack and the first light bulb burned out in 2 weeks."

Customer Service and Support

Pros:

• "They work like a charm. I dropped one and messed it up during the installation process, but the company quickly sent me a replacement with no issues."
• "Haven’t had these for long, but they seem to work well. First item I got was missing remotes, was quickly replaced, great customer service."
• "This one in the picture has been on our porch for like a year or so and has been in a few heavy rains and bad weather and it's still working like new."
• "I see a 2 yr. warranty but can't find any info on how to get a replacement. Any help out there?"

Cons:

• "The only downside is that the instructions were incomprehensible to me."
• "Don’t buy this product."
• "the size was slightly deceiving cause the pic but not as bad as the others i received by them..."
• "These are great if you can’t afford smart lighting like Philips Hue or LIFX."
