Works really well. Great to just tell my lights to go on and at what brightness.

The light bulbs work very well and are reasonably priced. I have bought several different manufactures' led light bulbs that go into recessed ceiling fixtures. They all would occasionally start flickering which was extremely annoying. I thought I would have to crawl in the attic to try and find a loose connection. When I installed these Amazon Basic LED light bulbs the problem went away. The units paired with the Alexa app with no problems and I did not even have to use the bar codes. I am so happy with these light that I ordered a second set as a back up.

It is basic and easy. If you like to set light temperature as in warm light pay a little more.

Super easy to install. Plug and play with the Alexa app. We needed these to fix a kitchen lighting issue where a switch was poorly installed behind the refrigerator. (Yes, they put a switch behind a fridge and built a cabinet over it!) This situation is even better than just a regular switch, as I’m able to verbally turn on just one, two, or all four of the lights with my voice instead of leaving the kitchen lights on 24/7. I labeled them K1-4 and put them into a Kitchen Group so it’s just one voice command for all the lighting or specific lighting over just where I’m working. Makes walking in at night a breeze too. Hopeing they don’t burn out quickly, because they aren’t cheap for bulbs, but so far well worth the money.

I have fully embraced an automated home in whatever way I can do it, and I have decided to use Alexa. I have placed 4 Echo Dots strategically around my home so that I can ask Alexa to turn lights off and on, set reminders, re-order items from Amazon, play music and I recently added a Sensi thermostat to my HVAC system so I can remotely turn off or on the air conditioning or the heat and yes....I can ask Alexa to set the temperature. So, I was having a hard time trying to find a Alexa compatible light switch for my kitchen because I live in an older place and the wiring is a little tricky. However, after I discovered that I don't need to replace the switch with these Amazon bulbs I ordered some right away. My kitchen has fixtures for 6 recessed flood lights and my wife hated how bright it was with 6 regular bulbs on at the same time. My solution was the Amazon flood lights and although she is always skeptical at first, she really likes them now. With the Alexa app I labeled each bulb individually as K1, K2 thru K6. I then set them up in groups of Kitchen, Kitchen 1 and Kitchen 2. If you say turn on Kitchen then all 6 bulbs come on. If you request Kitchen 1 or Kitchen 2 then alternating sets of 3 bulbs will come on depending on which one you request to turn on. The real handy part is that you can request to turn on any 1 bulb or multiple bulbs just by asking for that. A lot of times my wife will ask for Alexa to turn on K1 which is the single bulb over the sink. It is also very convenient if you forget to turn off the kitchen lights and you are laying in bed. We simply tell Alexa to turn off the kitchen and it happens. Some people think I"m crazy but we are really enjoying the convenient of controlling your whole home just by asking Alexa. I think they're great.

Ok, I sooooo wanted to love these. The price was right and they work seamlessly with Amazon Alexa. But I have a few issues…1) The “soft white” color is much more “warm white” than soft. It throws a lot of yellow and as a result I’m not using them in any of the spaces I intended for them. I’m having a hard time trying to picture a space that is ideal for warm white BR30 light bulbs…2) The response time of the lights has a noticeable lag. For comparison, I have Feit smart bulbs that respond almost instantly with Amazon Alexa.3) I have one bulb that seems to not work/connect well at all (I bought 8 in total). And I have another socket that doesn’t seem to be working well with any of these bulbs… not sure why that one socket won’t play nicely (that one may be a me issue, but I’m curious to know if other brand light bulbs would have the same issue?)Ack, do I regret buying them? Maybe… I debated returning them but I had over zealously opened both boxes and installed all the lights before I realized they were not going to meet my expectations. So then I let them sit for 12 hours to see if they would grow on me (I had them in my kitchen). They didn’t. So then I started putting them in other obscure places and rooms of my house (laundry room, mud room, only in a few sockets in the kitchen…) to see how I felt about them. I’ve been updating a lot of my lighting in my house as the bulbs are all mix and match at this point. I think they are good enough in some of these spaces and did save me some money. But I don’t love them and that is 100% due to the color (I could live with the lag and a faulty bulb).

For some reason, someone decided when they redid my kitchen (a rental) to put in 6 flood lights for the lighting. Good Lord that’s bright! I had switched them out to 45w bulbs which was awesome until they died and I couldn’t find a replacement. Enter dimmable smart bulbs! I love that these are connected to Alexa! I am going to purchase some more regular bulbs to put through the rest of my house. As a woman who lives alone, being able to make it look like people are here when they isn’t, is a big deal to making me feel more safe. Thank you Amazon!Ps. I had a bunch of Hue bulbs I’m going to replace with the Amazon one because I don’t need to hook up a stupid hub! AWESOME!
