Need an account for a light bulb

When I bought this bulb this app was like all the other. I don’t need to create an account for a light bulb so they can farm my data. I’ll get a new bulb

Pairing Nightmare

I love the lights once they are paired and I can select the exact shade of whitish yellow, as well as the intensity. Pairing to the bulbs that randomly unpair and remembering the password to an app I use once every year or two? Not so much. Takes me 45 mins to get back into the app and pair the bulbs every time. As I write this review I’m on my third round of trying to add the lights to my app so I can change their color back from scalding-my-eyeballs-white. Please make a better app or fix the bluetooth hell that is this system.

Cree lighting

Pure garbage. Both the lights and the app.
The only thing worse than the lights and the app, is Cree customer service. I’ll be donating these lights to the nearest landfill.

Would Love an Iphone Widget!!!

It is a great app and lightbulb company! I truly recommend it is fairly priced, has many features, is bright, has many different colors, and can even connect to an Alexa for voice control! But I would appreciate a widget for easier access for the iPhone controls! Would make it a five star!!!
