Lightinginside E12 Smart Light Bulbs Work with Alexa/Google Home, 4PCS

I got these for my ceiling fan in the living room and they work perfectly. the colors are nice and they have great adjustable dimness. they were easy to install and setup. the app is easy enough to get them set up and work great with google home

Bought this ages ago and loved it After moving out from my aunt the OLD bulb didn't work anymore, connection was bad and won't respond to the app control. Cause it was such an old purchase I didn't expect support to reach out to me and offer a replacement for a NEW updated one. The new bulb works just like how the old one did but with new light options! Now my beloved crow lamp is alive again!

These are awesome. Being able to turn the lights on and off from your phone is reason enough to get these, especially when you have a bunch lamps like I do. I don’t have to worry about fishing the wire out from behind the desk or something to hit the switch, I love it. Both the brightness and color ranges are great. The response time of the physical lights was surprisingly fast. In other words, you can see the changes you’re making on the app reflected in real life basically instantly. This makes fine tuning really easy! The set up is really easy: -Download the app (and give it permissions for like location and “home” data, don’t like that but I guess you have to, whatever) -screw in the light bulb and turn on the light (it starts blinking after a few seconds) -the app will then pick up its signal and they connect. -then through the app, connect the light to the wifi. (I think you can also do it through Bluetooth which I haven’t tried yet. that would be another W for this product) -then you’re in and can start changing the lights through the use of one of two separate color wheels. One color wheel is standard RGB (RBG? You know what I mean) stuff). The other is for the temperature, so the more standard light shades. THE APP: The app does the necessary stuff in a pretty intuitive way that works well. Like it’s really easy to pair the lights and adjust the color. Doing slightly more complicated stuff is a bit more tricky though. I see some other reviewers talking about the app being annoying and I can kind of see why. If you want to make it so that the light bulbs all change in unison you need to create a “room” then a create a “group” and assign the group to the room. Which isn’t terrible, but I could definitely see like my mom having trouble with it. Once you figure that stuff out you can basically do everything that you’d assume you should be able to. Overall great value for the money in my opinion. A pack of 4 for less than $30 is really good for me. I did just buy these recently so I’m unsure about how long they’ll last or if they’ll suddenly stop working. But from what I’ve seen from some other reviews this company seems to be pretty cool and will replace them if it’s reasonable.

[UPDATE] I had previously left a negative review indicating that these bulbs had become highly problematic within a couple years of purchase, as they would no longer reconnect to the app and stayed permanently in pairing mode no matter what I did to pair them. Lightinginside reached out to me and offered two replace two bulbs at no cost, as they said their team had recently optimized new versions of the bulbs. These paired extraordinarily quickly and without a single issue. Presumably, these are the new bulbs going out today for new consumers. Given the optimized product and the fact that the company cared enough to actually reach out and correct the issue, I have revised my review to 4 stars. I am subtracting just 1 star because the issue occurred in the first place and my fingers are crossed that their bulb firmware (or whatever the issue was) does not become corrupted in the years to come.

With many smart bulbs, connection and reliability can be a headache. This one was recognized and added flawlessly. It's bright, responsive, and works great with my Google Home. I'm sure it works just as well with Alexa too. If you're looking for a smart bulb without the usual connection or stability issues, this one is an easy recommendation.

I have a big box vanity / mirror / light source from a home renovation I did about 12 years ago. I did not appreciate the light source sockets and the requirement of candle opera lights when I purchase this unit. Initially the lighting was not an issue but of course over the years the bulbs needed to be replaced. Finding candle opera light bulbs to fit this particular vanity was challenging and sometimes very frustrating. Since I was already on a journey of smart lighting for various rooms throughout my house I simply just expanded my curiosity and looked for these type of specific lights on Amazon, and I'm so happy I did. Due to the Quality functionality and ease of these candelabra lights I then further looked into the brand to expand they're lighting throughout the other rooms of my home as well making a cohesion smart home with one app ran by Alexa. I highly recommend this product and keep being curious about smart home and smart lighting there is a lot to learn but take it one step at a time and ask questions!

Great little lights for customization!! Bought these for my apartment that had these specific plug style so I decided to give these a try with the cost over other name brands. And they work great! Can connect and control through your phone. Great color options

These light bulbs can technically be controlled by smartthings but only by creating routines in smart life (one for turn on, one for turn off) and as a result, it's difficult to make them part of a lighting group or any other automation. This is a known issue with smart devices that use tuya/ smart life as their back end connector. Otherwise, the lights work well, have good color choices, are inexpensive and seem pretty good. The smart life app has good automation within the app itself. I did notice that the connectivity is weird in that if I turn off the lights via the light switch instead of the app, one or more of the lights will revert to their default color instead of what the lights had been set to prior (this does not happen with the linkind bulbs I also have).

Love this! Inexpensive compared to others. Needs no costly, new hub to connect. AND...BIG BONUS...it connected VERY easily to Alexa. WorksGREAT!

If you're looking for a smart bulb for Ikea tokabo (the mini mushroom light) this is it! It may appear slightly too big but the bulb diffuser (the opaque cover) is pliable and it will get it with just a little bit of coaxing :)
