Highly recommend

Loveeee the light, it’s great for putting in a lamp or closet light, it matches any vibe and good for holiday things or events that include lots of colour, there is a wide colour range but it would be better if there was different colours like rose gold or sage green, but overall the app works well

Light only

The music function doesn’t work. But the light bulb colors do.

Don’t ruin your lightbulb

ive had this bulb for a few years when i had a samsung phone, and the app worked sufficiently as a remote for the bulb. The music mode was completely unusable and the light colors themselves were lacking. I usually used the light as a regular bulb as the default yellow setting was good light. Now, with the iphone app, I set the bulb to its default yellow and it has made it dimmer. using the slider does not work, since it seems that the “full” brightness is now half of what it used to be. Id be better off using a regular lightbulb at this point. honestly if you have the chance, return the lightbulb and go with a different brand. too many issues.

This app is great

My this bulb is great for a child’s room or even yours and very much pleased me as it has good quality and many colour options along with the ability to control the brightness and connect it to music! Thank you very much and I highly recommend this bulb.

Love it

I love it lots of colours and very cute
It gives a lot of what I like
Even though it’s not mine put it in the right place and you’ll be fine

Pretty but useless

The light bulb connects to the app without issue, and that is its best feature.
It's dim, even set to white at full brightness, so it's not useful as an actual light.
The preset colors are not what I would use, and I can't find any way to change them or set my own.
Might be fun for parties or as an accent light in a dark area, as other lights will drown it out.

no music

music doesn’t work at all, cool color options though and simple design

Turns my room to an instant disco!

I was skeptical when I first opened this app to use with my Sharper Image Smart Bulb, but after a few resets of the bulb, it appeared automatically as a bluetooth device in the app! I was amazed how beautiful the different spectrum of colors showed as I operated the app on my iPhone. I also have music on my iTunes library on my phone, so the Music section of the app works perfectly syncing the music to an awesome pulsating reaction of colors on the Smart Bulb. I can turn my room to a disco anytime now!

wish the music portion worked. really disappointed in that

wish the music portion worked. really disappointed in that

App disconnected and won’t reconnect

had light for couple months, randomly disconnected and won’t reconnect. waste of money

Terrible product

I can only change from blue to green. I wanted to use a different color and I unfortunately can not. I tried to reset it (saw a few videos saying to unscrew it 5 times and it would blink white light but it didn’t work for me). Would not recommend this purchase. I got this many years ago and decided to finally use it after my sister had it in her room for a while but she kept it on blue.

Awful!

I just got this from urban outfitters today and I was so excited to use it, especially the music part of it. The music does not work!! The colors are ok. Don’t waste ur money , just get regular LED lights!

Worth it!

The controls are simple and easy to use, and there are also different styles of how the lights show. For the price I payed for it, I’m satisfied. Although they could add more brightness to make it stand out more.

Stopped working after 5 days

Not sure where to request support for the bulb. Not worth the price of the bulb either. Super sketchy app that doesn’t work even 50% of the time. Wish I just spent a little more for a better quality bulb and corresponding app.

Cool Bulb Limited App

Putting 1 star because the standard light is literally yellow led light and not actually standard.....

white shouldn’t be in rainbow!

good but PLEASE TAKE WHITE OUT OF “pulsating rainbow”!!!!
I only really use my light bulb for the rainbow light option or to sync with music, and it’s great but it’s weird that bright white light is thrown into the mix.

App is terrible

Music tab does not work on apple devices

Music

I’m disappointed that i cannot use my spotify music to sync it with my light bulb. and the brightness is too dull

Help

Is there any way to lower or raise the brightness without the light disconnecting, mine won’t work.

Dimmed down?

It was great when I first got it. Lights were pretty and had a lot of colors lit my whole room. After the last update it made the lights dimmer, the “standard” yellow was so bright it made my room feel like day time in the middle of the night but now it’s not even enough to navigate. Don’t know what happened. Oh well, it’s still really cool tho.
