1byone Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker Dimmable Multicolored LED Light Bulb

I bought this bulb mostly because it had a low price and lots of positive user reviews. While it's an inexpensive commoditized product that knocks off the functionality of pricier competitors, I figured the hundreds of reviewers couldn't be wrong.Well, they may have been. Look closely at the other Amazon reviews for this bulb and you'll see that many of them were compensated with a free lightbulb from the company. While that might be a great way of getting a new product from an unknown company into the hands of consumers and onto the front page of Amazon, it also doesn't accurately represent how well a product works. Here's what I've found in the week of trying out this bulb:1.) The light produced can only be described as on the spectrum between "dim Turkish gas station bathroom" and "grow house"—a sickly, bluish glow that drastically cheapens the look of a home and doesn't match the warmth of even a $4.99 CREE bulb.2.) The specs claim the bulb is capable of producing "cool white" and "soft warm" light. However, that's only possible by tweaking the color settings within the (limited) app—and the closest you can get to the warmth of a pricier LED bulb is a sickly yellow. What's more, the bulb resets itself if you have it on a switch or turn the fixture off, and you're back to blue.3.) The bulb occasionally doesn't turn on when I switch on the fixture I have it plugged into. It'll squeal and hum and connect with Bluetooth, but it won't light up.I'll admit — the concept is pretty cool, and the sound quality is alright. Bluetooth pairing isn't bad, either—I've used it both with the app and simply paired with a phone. If you're using it just for parties and want multicolored lighting that changes to the beat of music, that's fine — but I just wanted a conventional LED lightbulb that could also act as a hidden speaker inside a ceiling fixture.Unfortunately, I threw away the packaging when I bought it, so it'll be regifted at the office "White Elephant" party. In the meantime, I'll save my pennies for a Sengled bulb.

I got this yesterday. I'm returning it today. Issues. Bluetooth connection will not stay connected for the light. If I want to use the poorly designed app to control the light I have to hold it within six inches of the bulb for it to connect. I'm using a iPhone 6plus. There has to be two separate connections made apparently one for music or sound and the other to control the light.The app populated the music with my iTunes music. It would play exactly one song! All others it said unable to play. I did get the Amazon music to play thru the speaker one song after the other. Quality of the speaker is ok, nothing great nothing bad. Ok for regular working around the house kind of use. It has a feature to set a turn off timer, you would have to set this each and every day, if you can stay or get connected. The product was and really is a great idea but either their quality control is flawed or the design is. I believe it to be design. It claims a 30 ft Bluetooth range, I can't get it to connect from less than 12 inches from my phone. This equals a failed purchase and instant return. IN NO WAY DO I RECOMEND THIS LIGHT/SPEAKER!

This review is based after one week of use, so I cannot speak to the longevity of it yet. I will update the review if we have any issues. We installed this in a light socket above our kitchen sink. The set-up was simple (simply screw into a lightbulb socket, turn light switch on, pair the device over Bluetooth). We were able to successfully pair to it with all three devices we tried thusfar: iPhone6, iPhone5s, and an iPad Air. You can connect over Bluetooth without the special app; however, you will require the App to change the light color, turn the light off (while socket is powered on) and rename the Bluetooth ID (for example, we named ours "KitchenBulb")The sound quality is surprisingly good. It fills the entire kitchen with clear sound (not tinny at all). We can also hear it well from an adjacent room if we set the volume higher. The sound is set by the volume controls on your phone, or tablet (or equivalent device). We were able to stream music directly through the app as well as through Pandora, and the iPhone's default music player. The ability to change the lightbulb color is pretty fun, though we probably will only use that for parties as its more of a novelty. The response to color changes is very quick. The "automatic" feature, which pulses the light brightness and color to the beat of the music is pretty neat... but again more of a novelty that I'll use for the occasional party. The light always defaults to a very bright white, which doesn't match the warmer yellow color of the lights in the room. I can use the app to tune the color to match more closely; however, I do not believe you can save the settings. Therefore, the next time you turn the light on, it reverts to the baseline bright white. The bulb is quite large, as noted by other reviewers; however, it feels very solid and well built. As an engineer I love the simplicity of the device and the creative idea of consolidating two functions (light and speaker) into a single device. You can just as easily buy a dedicated Bluetooth speaker; however, that will take up counter space and an outlet plug. My wife really likes that we have a speaker in the kitchen but its out of sight and powered by the light socket (doesn't take up plug space). Net, it is a very clean way to add sound to any room (no wires, no counterspace, etc.). I ordered several for gifts for the Christmas season. I figured my nieces (8 - 13 years old) would have fun with it too.

The media could not be loaded.  Derrière ce titre pour le moins explicite se cache un des produits les plus originaux qu’il m’ait été donné d’essayer ces derniers mois : cette ampoule s’appuie sur la technologie LED et se contrôle intégralement depuis une application dédiée via son smartphone ; cette application se télécharge à l’aide du QR Code présent sur l’emballage ainsi que sur la notice du produit. A noter que le culot de l’ampoule que j’ai reçu est un E27, c’est-à-dire qu’il se visse (contrairement au culot B22 qui se clipse).Quand on découvre l’ampoule pour la première fois, on peut être étonné par sa grande taille ainsi que par son poids. Et c’est quand on l’utilise que l’on comprend pourquoi : elle incorpore un haut-parleur de manière à diffuser de la musique (via Bluetooth) présente dans la playlist de son téléphone ! Et ça marche plutôt bien, avec un volume sonore satisfaisant, mais qu’il ne faut pas trop pousser pour éviter une saturation du son.Autre fonctionnalité très sympa : le fait de pouvoir contrôler la couleur de l’éclairage depuis l’application de son téléphone : on peut ainsi choisir la couleur de son choix à l’aide du nuancier proposé par l’application, afin de créer une ambiance à son goût.Une autre bonne idée, destinée à animer les soirées, est le mode « éclairage auto » : dans ce cas, la lumière de l’ampoule s’adapte à la musique qui est lue à travers le haut-parleur de l’ampoule : les couleurs réagissent ainsi au rythme de la musique pour faire alterner les couleurs et créer un effet stroboscope très sympa.Parmi les autres fonctionnalités disponibles, on trouve également le contrôle de mise en marche/arrêt de l’ampoule depuis son téléphone, ou encore la programmation de l’extinction automatique de l’ampoule.J’aime beaucoup ce produit car je le trouve original, plein de bonnes idées et bien pensé : les technologies Bluetooth et LED sont ici exploitée pour créer une ambiance de fête à la maison, et c’est réussi !Au niveau des améliorations du produit, j’aurais bien aimé qu’en mode de fonctionnement « normal », la lumière blanche de l’ampoule soit plus puissante et éclaire mieux la pièce. Cela aurait rendu le produit plus polyvalent, et utilisable au quotidien dans les pièces à vivre.Je joins à ce commentaire plusieurs photos du produit ainsi qu’une vidéo où je présente cette ampoule à LED Bluetooth. [...]. Si vous avez des questions sur cette ampoule Bluetooth, j’y répondrai avec plaisir.

Ausgepackt,alles nach der Beschreibung gemacht nie eine konstante Bluethoothverbindung zusammengebracht,immer wieder abgebrochen auch an anderen Orten probiert,wieder zurückgeschickt hoffe das nächste funktioniert

Ich habe die Birne für das Kinderzimmer geholt. Meine Jungs 9 & 14 sind davon begeistert, vor allem von dem Farbwechsel mit dem Ryhtmus der Musik.Am ersten Anlieferungs-Tag funktionierte die App beim iPhone mit dem neuesten IOS 9.0 nicht. Mit Android konnten wir testen. Am 2. Tag nach Anlieferung kam aber auch schon direkt ein App Update womit es auch beim iPhone ging.Die Qualität der Lautsprecher entspricht nicht unbedingt einem JBL Go für 30€ aber es reicht meinen Jungs, um mit den Freunden "Party" zu machen. Ferner bemerkte ich, dass die max. Lautstärke abhängig vom Smatphone zu sein scheint. Mit meinem iPhone 6P ist der Lautsprecher am lautesten, mit iPhone 4s leiser, mit einem billig Android noch leiser. Mit einem Galaxy S6 war es so laut wie mit Apfel 6P. Für bisschen Musik hören reicht es aber allemale. Es klingt etwas dumpf.Toll finde ich, dass man für Musik mit automatisches Farbwechsel nach Rythmus nicht auf die App eingeschränkt ist. Die App kann nur Musikdateien auf dem Handy abspielen. Aber wenn man die App auf Automatischen Lichtwechsel stellt, es in den Hintergrund stellt und dann z.B. Deezer, Youtube, Radio App oder irgendwas mit Tonabspielung startet, funktioniert der Farbwechsel dennoch. Selbst Tastentöne verursachen manchmal Farbwechsel :-). Was mich stört ist, dass wenn keine Beats kommen die Birne meist komplett auf schwarz schaltet (also kein Licht), aber meine Jungs finden das gut wenn beim Musik hören das Zimmer zwischen den Farbwechsel immer wieder total dunkel wird.Das Licht ist nicht sehr hell und beim einschalten ist es immer ein Kaltes blauweisses Licht. Mit der App kann man aber auf ein warmes gelbliches Licht leicht umstellen. Den gewünschten Startzustand kann man leider nicht speichern. Jedoch kann man den letzten Zustand behalten, wenn man das Licht per App an und ausschaltet und nicht über den Lichtschalter an der Wand.Zum Musik anhören muss die Birne Strom bekommen, also der Lichtschalter muss betätigt werden, aber das Licht kann wie erwähnt per App abgeschaltet werden.Wenn mehrere Geräte sich mit dem Lautsprecher verbinden wollen, gewinnt immer das erste Gerät. Daher muss man bei ungewollten Verbindungen natürlich die Verbindung trennen, um sich mit einem gewünschten Gerät zu verbinden. Die App wird nicht benötigt zum Verbinden per Bluetooth bzw. zum Musik hören. Die Lautsprecher funktionieren ganz normal als Bluetooth Lautsprecher, die App ist eher für das Licht und die Licht spielereien zuständig.Im grossen und ganzen ist das Ding für den Preis super. Meine Jungs ngs sind begeistert. Bin mal gespannt wie lange es hält. Die letzten paar Wochen hat es die Dauerbelastung schonmal ausgehalten :-).

The device itself is pretty good. The installation was easy, the colors are good, the brightness is enough and the speaker works smoothly.Update: 18.03.2017I have found a way to connect to the speaker programmatically through Bluetooth. Using that I can control the bulb through Raspi3 with Python, which fixes most of the problems I have listed before concerning the app, which was also updated to look way better , so I'll be updating the review from 3/5 to 4/5 with the 1 star lost due to the rare random restarts at night causing full on white light and the inability to use the app on android without using the speaker function.[EDITED] Previous Review:What I don't like about the product is the app. You HAVE to use the app, as not only they don't provide an API but they also go as far as obfuscating their code. Furthermore the app they provide is pretty poor in feature and overall poorly designed. It doesn't even come with a widget, and it is such a drag to open the app everytime just to turn it on and off, since if you use the actual light switch it loses its memory. Furthermore the whole disco light feature is based on the volume, and I usually can't turn the volume up enough for the bulb to start flashing lights since I don't live alone. The timer only sets the time the light goes off and there is no way to set it to go automatically on. I could go on about the app, but this is not the place for that...When I bought the device what had in mind was to control it via an application I made for multiple purposes, and hardware-wise it is the perfect device for that. But since let alone being provided a way to control it without their app, I can't even send commands to it by sniffing the Bluetooth communication and imitating it.As I realize most people would be content with just using the given app and the device itself is pretty decent, I am giving it three stars to be fair. But for my usage it unfortunately can't go further than being a cool trivia.
