Can’t connect
I’ve tried the easy and advanced methods for connecting the smart bulbs to this app. Both methods have been completely unsuccessful with all bulbs that came in the box. I have a mesh wifi system with 2.4 GHz and 5.0GHz bands but this is the only smart product I’ve had issues connecting with. I’ve connected tp-link 2.4GHz smart plugs with no issues whatsoever along with some 2.4Ghz kasa smart bulbs that paired up instantly. These products on the other hand take 100 seconds to tell me it failed to connect and still don’t work after turning off my 5.0GHz band with my router. The bulbs show up in the app but every time after waiting until the bar hits 100%, I get the same “Failed to connect” message. Please help or fix this issue as I got these for my mothers birthday and can’t set them up. I’m about to lose my position as the tech guy in the house because of this.Show lessM v o l l 9 8

Needs a widget to make it faster as I use the light everyday for my bedroom light. I have a newborn so I wake up often at night and use the app so if there was just a widget for the screen would be awesome! Other then that it’s good!ctart04
Great product
These bulbs are so fun! From movie night colors to holiday colors to setting all lights on a timer or dimming from cool to warm.., beware it’s addicting! So much so that my college kids needed to have some for their apartments. The only problem is the company doesn’t carry the smaller sized bulbs and I don’t want another company bc that means a whole other app! But all in all, it’s great!Show less2019shopper
Overall good but not perfect
These are the second set of smart bulbs I have gotten. These bulbs are more affordable than hue bulbs but more expensive than other entry levels bulbs and as such offer a wider array of color. Like any smart device, mess ups are inevitable but overall it’s a moderately priced bulb with more luxury features compared to bare bones, cheap people lightbulbs. Setup was easy - use the app and sync with smart speaker was just as seamless.Show lessStripp3r n4m3d Starr.
Notifications don't notify
In general this is a pretty good app and the lights work well with Alexa. The issue is that sometimes the bulbs will randomly go offline. There are notifications that I have setup but unfortunately this only notified in the app and doesn't give iPhone notification or even badge on all to indicate there are notifications. All notifications for the app are enabled. If notifications worked correctly I would rate the app higher.Show lessfligs

They forced me to make an account and then didn’t let me log in this app is complete garbageggdsabkinkys
Excellent
Love that these are so very easy to set up and so fun to use with the app and Alexa! They’ve been in a box for a while because they definitely did NOT work in my dimmable ceiling fan. I just got them connected in the basement and my son and BF LOVE THEM! Definitely worth and it these 4 smart bulbs don’t require a smart hub.Show lessSJTobi
Love these, and I’m pretty picky
I’ve been using these smart leds for about 6 months now, and overall i find them to be pretty great. I love how I can control the mood of my lighting anywhere in the house with just the touch of a button. The groups are fairly easy to make and the scheduling is really cool, I use the scheduling feature on a daily basis. Especially handy when going out of town. They can even turn on when the skies get dark or rainy.
I have noticed that sometimes, a light will just randomly go out and the app won’t recognize it anymore. This could be user error, but I find that when a light goes out I have to get a ladder, climb up and unscrew the actual bulb, and then screw it back in again to reboot it and get the bulb to turn on again. I’m finding at least one bulb randomly goes off about once every week or so. I use 13 of them throughout my house.
In my master bedroom, I use Philips Hue LED, which are way pricier (or were when I got them 4 years ago). The Philips, in comparison, are incredibly reliable lights, I have never had to climb a ladder and reboot one. Their app is also just as functional, but more intuitive and aesthetic. But for the price, the Sylvania’s are pretty great. I think they were around $25 cheaper per bulb than the Philips Hue. Hope this helps!Show lesslive_drummer
Affordable, Complicated, and no HomePod connection
If you’re setting up multiple light systems it can get tedious and complicated. We purchased an affordable bundle, finally got all8 set up, but one bulb flickers when it should be off. The colors are great! Has trouble getting Alexa to work with scenes, and doesn’t play well with HomePod at all. If you want off or on with mobile device controls it’s a good bargain. If you want more bells and whistles you’ll be disappointed.Show lessladybeedough
