Smart lighting system!
Initial install was simple but adding extra bulbs is a nightmare. I unpaired other bulbs before adding and it would add some and not others. Eventually managed to do it. Great system when it’s working and you can set a routine for the bulbs or manually turn them off which is great for when you are away for that ‘still at hone look’. I would highly recommend these!
Happy
Really bright and easy to use with app just can’t get it to work on wifi
DOES NOT SUPPORT 5GHZ WIFI
Once the item was finally set up it is great, please note that it does not support 5GHZ WiFi, upon doing further research the listing is incorrect, the SengLED website and instructions that come with the product also state it does not support 5GHZ WiFi. But there are some work arounds.
Firstly you need to separate out your 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks which the instructions tell you to do anyway, I already have this done so not much of an issue.
You will need to set it up on the 2.4ghz network, once set up you can then go back to the 5ghz network on your device and you can still control the lights, so not too much of an issue.
The item does work as it should and set up was relatively simple but did have some connection problems.

Easy to install, nice and bright and works brilliantly with Alexa
Well worth the money
This is great. Easy to set up turn your lights on an off where ever you are. Highly recommend
Must use the hub
Needs the hub to work pairs well and works with alexa brightness it ok. you can add 60+ bulbs to the hub
Just works
Great value – especially when you find it discounted – and allows great Google Assistant and Alexa integration. Bought them to control the lights when I’m traveling. Exactly what you need and has never let me down.
If buying from Amazon Warehouse flick switch 10 times!
These bulbs are great! If you’re buying them used or from Amazon Warehouse install them and flick the switch 10 times rapidly, the bulbs will flash 4 or more times. This resets the bulbs allowing them to pair with a hub.
The bulbs have Alexa and Google Home integration, I chose to use Google Home and have timers.
The only negative with all smart bulbs is that they need to be turned on at the source (the switch) to be controlled by the app.
Good Produc
These are great if you’re all for the fully integrated home with voice control, these bulbs aren’t blindingly bright but they are sufficient for a bedroom or small living room, my only gripe is that you have to have an app installed on your phone for the Alexa integration. Overall though these are great if you enjoy the novelty of a voice activated light.
Great produc
Works very well with alexa. They have great online portal and responds everytime
Good produc
I had no issues setting up my bulbs, I’ve even been really sad and I’ve set them up to turn on when I say Lumos and nox to turn off. They are spells from Harry Potter incase you were wondering and shame on you if you didn’t know lol. Will definitely add a few more to othe rooms in the house.
Since using this product I’ve noticed a reduction in the electricity used because: I personally use the lowest brightness often and they turn off at times they really don’t need to be on by setting up routines through the sengled home app.
Sometimes one of the kids might leave a bulb on but with the routines you can set with these bulbs they turn themselves off during the morning and stay off until the evening. it’s making huge differences already.
Installation was easy and I’d recommend using Ethernet so that the Internet has a good constant connection to the hub and the bulbs.
The variable brightness is good and at maximum they are very bright, lowest setting they are still bright but also I’ve noticed I’ve not been awake so late in the evening due to all the brightness a normal bulb would produce.
I’d recommend these for someone looking to try out smart bulbs to see what difference it could make to your life especially in a busy family household
Couldn't be without them now
Waste to set up once you know how. Couldn’t be without them now
Once connected....
The initial setup was a bit of a faff. That might have been down to problems with the 2.4GHz on my network. Once that was sorted it was very easy to connect with Alexa, Google home and ifttt.
The bulbs are only a soft white but that’s more than adequate for my purposes.
Have found nothing wrong with these
Easy to set up. Set up took less than 5 minutes. These can be super bright or super dimmed. Work well in a kids room. Love these. Amazing
fantastic
easy to understand instructions, simple to installand add to Alex’s. so easy to operate my children do i
Great Ki
Great product and good substitute for the more expensive Philips hue. The bulbs are well priced both individually and in a set and respond quickly. Also, as these use ZigBee via the hub they’re much more flexible. The only downside is the app which lacks many features you’d expect and priorities animation over speed. It easier to just use the Google Home / Alexa app to control the lights
Great for using remotely
Great for using remotely. Love dimming the light in the lounge.
great lights
he price of other brands can be crazy for a wireless LED bulb. these are perfect for what we needed and were so easy to set up
Cheaper alternative
It’s good. Nice and simple to use and miles cheaper than Philip’s
Nice
Easy to install. Nice lights. Not as bright as can be but good enough. Took about of time to Alexa it but once I did it was all good.
Grea
Perfect why spend a fortune on the other brands super bright easy to set up with app and alexa
Easy to use
Easy to install hub needs to be near plug. Comes with cable to connect to Internet. Easy to connect to alexa
Great kit to start using your Alexa
Great kit to start using your Alexa with works great easy ti install and easy to set up
Automatic lighting
New app wouldn’t let me register installed old one then logged in with new very impressed just can’t get to work with alexa but easy off phone anyway now sorted with alexa, swee
Good value for money when on lightning deal
Nice easy setup having to use a bridge makes it another extra step but the box is small enough not to be noticed git it on a lightning deal which was great value
Good security lighting system
Arrive via Prime next day and I setup the system to control 2 lights. Took some time to get them to come on/off as required, and the Sengled app is not the best I have seen. However once setup it they worked as required and by programing them it can simulate someone moving around the house. I am going to add another 2 lamps to the system, and maybe try remote on/off switching.
Burgaler proof
I had peace of mind when on holiday as I could switch the lights on and off to make people’s believe I was at home
Happy custome
I had problems connection this via Alexa to start with but managed to do it the next day. It is very easy to set up if it sets up to start with. Very quick response from Senegal via e-mail.
Plug in and your ready as long as you have the app.
So easy to set up and just as easy to add extra bulbs in the future. literally Plug in and it was ready with the use of the app.
Highly recommended for your smart home
Buy it you will like it!
love it-
Sorted my Problem in the Kitchen with the double lights.
works Perfect with Alexa too
Best thing I never realised I wanted
I bought this as part of a bundle deal when I got a second Echo Dot and they are great together. I’d considered getting Hive bulbs since I got my original Dot with Hive heating controls when I got a new boiler. Bulbs seemed to be a bit of a gimmick, but these were cheap enough to experiment with.
With my living room light already on a smart plug (another flash deal from Amazon) two bulbs were fine for my needs. I put one on the Landing and one in the bedroom. You have to install the Sengled app on a phone, and I might use that to control lights if I’m away, but they really come into their own when controlled by Alexa. I can just say “Alexa, Goodnight” and the downstairs light goes off and the upstairs ones come on. I then get Alexa to turn them off individually as I get ready for bed. When I wake up I can turn the light on without groping for a switch before I’m properly awake.
There are various programmable modes for turning lights on and off on a pattern if I’m not there. I’ve set them up but haven’t used them yet. I did try out the Wake Up mode that makes a light get slowly brighter but, since you set each day of the week separately, had to remember to turn it off over Easter. Turning lights on from your phone is good for impressing neighbours when you’re looking at your house from their living room 🙂
Looking at the bulbs, it’s hard to tell the difference from them being set at 10% and 100% but you notice the change in the ambient light in the room. Programming appears to reside in the hub, so accidentally turning off a switch doesn’t appear to clear settings, a problem I’ve seen mentioned for other Smart Bulbs
If Amazon offer this bundled with Echo in another sale, I’d definitely recommend it if you’re not already committed to another Smart system
Great!
Easy to set up and integrate with Alexa and IFTTT. Good value for money and the bulbs work very well.
Intriguing novelty. Not an essential.
Used as security feature. Could use smart socket attached to extension lead to several lamps with same effect. Bulbs typical of “cold” light of modern bulbs and does not really provide the equivalent of old filament bulbs, but that is the same of all such bulbs and not a fault of this product.
iot world
for room light… sometimes using the switch is easier way
Really good
Really good set up however Alexa struggles to interpret the room names so have to repeat yourself loads of times.
love them
great items easy to set up works really well, the only negative was on set up Sengled wasnt listed on the list of makers and they wear purchased as a package
My first Alexa bulbs
My first Alexa bulbs and Wi Fi unit. Downloaded the app onto my phone set up the Wi Fi unit and named the bulbs. Set up Alexa as instructions and everything worked first time. On/Off and dimming.
Good WiFi lights
Bought with deal on amazon, so we’re great value for money. Work well with Alexa.
Works grea
Works well with my Alexa. Love the dimmer function for cosy nights.
Nice lights hope will get connected on the end
Haven’t connected to inter net yet having bit problem with the connection hope it connects in the end
Love these so easy to use
I love these. So easy to set up. Can use with Alexa or phone. They dim up and down and the light is quite bright.
Not difficult to use
I wanted to see whether I could set this up myself as I am not particularly technically minded. This wasn’t at all difficult to do and I found that following the instructions got me the right results without too many problems (I had to reinstall the app but I think I messed something up there – just started again and it went fine.
The bulbs give a nice warm light and it’s handy to be able to just ask Alexa to do the lights – it works 9 times out of 10 I would say – as is the case with most of our Alexa connected stuff. Price wise this seems pretty competitive to me – I guess the brand name is not so well known. I’m pleased with this set and would happily get it again.
Great produc
Great value as I bought on offer. Nearly as good as hue products and served as a good tester of smart home products. Alexa integration is great.
Fun ligh
Paired really easy with Spot.
Light must be switch on at all times
If dimmed with app, light will not restore to full brightness by switch light switch on and off
Fantastic
Very easy to install. My house is over 100 years old and these bulbs work even on my old wiring. I can even dim the lights! Very pleased with product.
Grea
Works a treat and so does the app. Can switch lights on from the car when I arrive home. Very pleased.
Good quality, simple setup item.
Good quality item. Variable brightness and simple Alexa integration, also allows remote cobtril from the app when not at home. Been in use now for a few months and have found it to be most useful to control lights. The sengled range is more limited than others but for the price i am happy.
Excellent Product - Recommend - Easy to set up
This product is AMAZING. The hub is mini sized (Less intrusive) , well built and easy to connect. Even easier to set up. I have a couple of WiFi smart bulbs, and they were fiddly to set up. The Sengled hub is much, much easier to set up. It own app is great, and integrating with Alexa is simple. Managed to set up and get working perfectly first time without any stress. Well packaged. Recommended, worth every penny.
Love it! Such fun that makes you play like a kid to start with! My husband pretended to be a ghost and play with the lights whilst I was home with kids and he was at work. Seriously though. Once the Initial fun had worn off- this is actually a good product and easy to set up. I use via Alexa but also via the app on my phone. Will be great for security when it gets dark and we r out and also for the dog when left alone. It’s Great u can make it brighter or dimmer too.
Easy and convenie
Ordered when on offer – requested exchange as thought one bulb was faulty – would dim and brighten but not turn on or off. Same “problem” with replacement which after resetting everything realised that I had named the hub “Lights” and the bulb “Light”- renamed to “Lamp” and they now work perfectly. Great for the wife to use as recovering from knee replacement so doesn’t need to get up and down all the time.
Great value
At 20 with the offer this is amazing value kit. Works well had a little trouble with the bulbs but after resetting they are fine
I was really dubious about how good these would be compared to the much higher price of other brands. Luckily, my suspicions were unfounded. We’ve been using these for a couple of weeks and they’re great. They offer seamless intergration with alexa through a very easy to use app. The hub and bulbs are super easy to setup. We’ve added other Sengled products and it’s all working seamlessly.
good value for money
works brilliantly with Alexa. good value for money. if you do not like very bright lights you can set a reduced brightness as a default. first time set up is a bit lengthy but once you are set up it is easy to add more. colour changing bulbs will be nice but cannot find them
Good option for smart lighting
Instructions not totally clear as the app that you have to install was different to the instructions but was evident on the App Store. Didn’t take long to fit and works well
Love it easy to do. Have to be quick when you first set up the hub as only gives you a short time. The sengled home app makes its easy to organise. I’m in the process of replacing all the light bulbs to smart ones. Only thing I wish is that you could get alexa to only work with manners as hearing my children boss alexa around to turn lights on seems wrong
It was a bit of a faff downloading the Sengled app first, as there was an update to the initial one.
I had absolutely no problem linking the lights to the hub, or hub to Echo.
I played around with both the Sengled app as well as the Alexa app on my phone; the best thing to do is to go into the Sengled app and set all the light bulbs to 100% and name everything correctly. Then allow Alexa to skill to the Sengled app. Then in the Alexa app set up the group/room names and brightness.
I have two ceiling lights in my living room which I have set on 50%; the one in my hall is set at 75% and the one in my bedroom is set at 25%. This setting was all done through the Alexa app.
I now have complete voice access as well as access with my mobile phone to control my lights.
Could not be simpler.
Works seamlessly
Love the product. Installation was very easy and integrates with google assistant too. No regrets buying this one.
When you can’t get home until after dark it’s simple to switch home lights on via app
Better value than some
A starter kit for Sengled with two bulbs and a hub. They are just white and not colour changing. Signal is good and ideal starter maybe in side lights in the lounge. Works with Alexa which seems common place these days if you have the hub matching the bulbs. I have a Hue setup and have added this as a second hub, they don’t talk to each other but Alexa controls the lot.
A much cheaper, more versatile and easy home lightening smart system .
Same format as most of the smart devices, download the app and it runs you through set up.
The bulbs supplied are better than my Philips ones and didn’t require any adaptors. Far cheaper too .its Depending on what type of Alexa , echo set up you have hw well it works. I have a few types and it doesn’t work with the woman’s Alexa but does work with the echo dot .
Overall I’m very pleased with it, works well enough ( all smart systems are frustrating) and price wise is a far better alternative .
Not as good as Hue, but it's cheape
This isn’t actually as good as the Hue lights, but it’s cheap, so I really can’t complain about that. It’s a plug in hub and LED bulbs which hook up with the likes of Alexa to allow you to voice/mobile control your lights. The app isn’t quite as slick as more expensive versions, but not to the detriment of it’s working.
Good value smart home tech.
Works With Alexa
Possibly a little over-priced in comparison with other brands, but appears to work perfectly well with the Alexa / Amazon Dot
Instructions for set up are simple and well laid out. Packaging was neat and not excessive.
No complaints here
Okay Home Lighting Automatio
This Sengled Lighting system comprises of a hub, which can be connected to your home network via ethernet or WiFi and TWO WiFi prepared standard bayonet bulbs. Installing the hub was dead straight forward using the installed instructions, as was getting the bulbs to pair (the bulbs are dimmable soft white and really quite good). From this point on my experience started to go down hill a bit. The Sengled elements app kept telling me that there was a firmware update for the hub and bulbs, but I had no way of deploying it – I contacted Sengled and whilst I had a very nice response from them it didn’t help me in the slightest. I did a bit of searching the internet and people we advising the use of the Sengled Home to manage your elements lighting and hub, installed this app and then I could update the firmware. Once I had updated everything I managed to move the bulbs into different room in the app and configure them so that I can use my Alexa app/device to control them.
Overall they are okay and work as expected but use the SENGLED HOME APP!
😁
Does what it’s supposed to and integrates well with Alexa smart home
Having already got a very similar gadget “hue” I thought it would be interesting to see how this compares.
Plus Points I can see versus “hue”
1. Hub once it is setup via cable can use your WiFi rather than ethernet cable to connect making picking a central location easier.
2. App shows signal strength level between lamps and hub.
3. Lamps are a little cheaper but only by 2.00 at the time of writing this review.
4. Basic system has a lower purchase price.
Negative points I can see versus “hue”
1. Only two time schedules can be set for a lamp (see my screen captures) plus wake up time.
2. No dusk or dawn options for auto lamps on/off.
3. App seems a bit dated, last updated May 2018.
4. Hub support for third party apps seems more limited e.g. SmartThings which can talk to the lamps but not the hub.
Anyway, setup is easy with the lamps already paired to the hub (it seems to add more you need to scan the barcode on the new lamps using the app).
Adding the skill to Alexa also worked first time including commands to set the light level of the lamps.
The Android app did tell me the system needed to perform a firmware update but the button was missing from the app.
However, using the iOS app on an old iPad allowed the update (even though the firmware versions look the same to me).
No problems in operation and it is a little cheaper than the competition but less range of devices e.g. motion sensors, lamp designs may be factors in making your purchasing decision.
This comes as a neatly packaged kit providing all you need to get the lights up and running. There is a hub, two bulbs, one short network cable and a power plug and cable.
Installation and setup is basically straight forward and if you follow the instructions provided – pretty easy. Provide power to the hub and plug it into your router (or a network switch). Install and provide power to the bulbs. You need to download the “Sengled Element Home” app on your iOS or Android device (I was using the iOS version). You have to set up an account – email address and password twice – so pretty easy. After that the application needs to enable a wifi connection to your network – so wifi name and password required for that. All of this worked seamlessly – no “I can’t find the hub/network/router/etc.”. However once complete I was initially unable to turn off the lights.
Once power is provided to them initially – you have three minutes in that cycle while the bulbs are active/available to pair. I think I blew past that whilst installing apps, setting up accounts and so on. [Edit: the two bulbs are pre-paired – only new bulbs require the pairing] A power cycle and pause – and then I could turn the lights on/off from my phone via the app (this does not interface with Apple Homekit).
Next step was to add the lights to Alexa. This is pretty simple – enable the Sengled Home skill – add devices and you’re pretty much done. I created a new group called Office – and I was good to go.
I have found these lights slightly less reliable than equivalent Philips Hue lights in terms of 100% correct functioning when using Alexa. On occasion only one of two lights come on. That said – they are pretty good otherwise. “Office lights 50%” does just that, as do “on” and “off”.
Slightly less expensive than a Hue bridge and two bulbs – these are not a bad alternative. The setup is straightforward – and basically effective. Only time will tell how reliable they are in use compared with competitors – for now, I am reasonably well impressed.
Good remote lighting starter pack
This is a somewhat cheaper alternative to Philips Hue – and it works almost as well. You have to plug the included hub into your router with a cable – then by downloading an app for smartphone or tablet you are able to control the two included lightbulbs. They can be programmed to switch on and off remotely so good to programme when you’re on holiday or at work. The app isn’t quite as polished as the Philips Hue and it crashed on my Apple IPhone a couple of times – but all in all it’s a good bit of kit and the LED bulbs should last quite a while. Good starter kit for an introduction th programmable home kit…
This is a great bit of ki
This is a great bit of kit. It was extremely easy to set up even for a technical numpty like me. The Quick Start Guide was all that I needed. I downloaded the app on to my iPhone and it all worked as it should. The two bulbs that come with the kit are already paired with the hub which is what made it so easy I guess.
Recommended.
So, I think we need to look at this in terms of what it is. I.e. a cheaper alternative to Philips Hue, which I also have.
It’s the exact same setup, this gets plugged into the router and power, then the lightbulbs get controlled through an app or Alexa.
The good news is, it actually works just as well – which really impressed me.
The app isn’t as slicks as the one by Philips but it lets you do the same amount of stuff. The bulbs aren’t as fancy or bright but again they do work well. As a result, I think this is really cool.
There are other bulbs available too which is nice so you can kit this out the same way you would hue.
My only criticism is the build quality isn’t as good and the app crashed a few times, overall though, for the money, this is excellent.
This relatively low cost package simply includes 2 bulbs and a hub that you need to connect to the mains and to your WIFI by a supplied ethernet cable.
Download the Sengled Home App for your phone (Android or IOS) and follow the instructions on the screen.
I found that I had to update the firmware in the hub and the bulbs, but this was straight forward and only needed me to say “Yes” to the process.
Simply, the app allows the turning on and off of the bulbs. If you have an Alexa powered device then you can also operate this by voice too.
Bearing in mind the low cost of this package it really does add a tremendous level of functionality to your mobile phone or Alexa device and the ability to turn lights on an off is worthwhile.
The quality of the lights is the question. The light that they give is instant and warm, a yellowy white, but the manufacturer offers an alternative lamp that is a lot whiter light. I think that this is a great starter kit but I would advise that you upgrade the bulbs to the higher temperature versions as the light is a lot better. This is still a really good deal though!
