LifxNightvision 1100 Lumen BR30 Bulb

The lifx light are very hard to setup. But they are very good once the setup is done. So take your time follow all the step it will be worth it.

This is a perfect way to boost security cameras' night vision, but the prices could stand to be lower.

LIFX have outstanding performance and color. The night vision feature is cool and preforms well. It can be turned off if you don't want them drawing energy while off. Altho the energy draw is very low.The biggest drawbacks is occasional connection issues and slow response time

I have a separate HomeKit/device/IoT network setup with 2.4GHz WiFi only (it seems HomeKit devices don’t like 5GHz).I started the initial pairing of my two bulbs… 3-4 hour later I found a bug…I added the lights to my normal network, which has 5GHz, without any issue. So, as a test, I re-attempted my HomeKit network - no luck. I enabled 5GHz on the HomeKit network: WIN! I disabled 5GHz and they continue to connect flawlessly. These need to have 5GHz available for pairing - and only pairing.The color changing app features require the app to perpetually being running, up-front. Meaning the lights don’t know the program, it must be controlled through the app. That’s a letdown but not a showstopper since that wasn’t an intended feature (given it requires the App it probably should have something that says such).The Infrared function requires the light to be illuminated (just under 5%). This is a bit misleading. I was hoping IR could act independently - meaning be on without visible light (i.e. cameras see, people don’t). No dice; requires at least some visible light.Lifx documentation is lackluster. Support is a joke. Product is fine.

I had high hopes for this night vision bulb but I've spent a few hours trying over and over again to get it to install but the LIFX app never syncs up with it. I tried Alexa but it tells me to install it first with the LIFX app. Same cycle over and over. Since there is no manual way to control this bulb I have to return and find another brand to use instead.
