I don’t know if I had misread the description, but I couldn’t change the colours. Maybe it was my fault, I don’t know. I returned it as I needed it for that specific function. As a colourless lightbulb works perfectly fine though.
As a musician I tend to hate any noise injected into the mains circuits in our house (it subtly shows up on audio recordings) and dimmable bulbs are not prone to doing that, so we finally get dimming with no downsides.
They work well, they respond to automation very consistently (some Tapo bulbs can be “reluctant” even of the same model – QA) and are generally “set and forget”. They get my vote.
Perfect to set off times and on times for night time. I use this to fade down when going to bed, and to help get me up in the morning. Obviously works on Bluetooth so can’t operate from too far away. Great idea, and works well
I use this along-side my Alexa and it was super easy to set up.
Pros:
– Bright
– Dimmable
– Integrates well with Echo devices
Cons:
– Bit on the pricey side (unless it’s in a deal!)
– On its own it cannot be switched on via WiFi as it’s conneciton is bluetooth (can be switched on through WiFi via the Alexa app though!)
– These sort of bulbs will use more energy than a standard LED light due to the fact it is always “on” so you can switch it on wirelessly but I can imagine it takes very little power when idle.
> Sign into Hue or register in 5 minutes.
> Once registered,
> Turn on the mobile device Bluetooth. We used the mobile and tablet app, Philips Hue
> Setup App, if you don’t have Philips Hue Hub, skip this step
> Connect the bulb to the fitting, e.g., a ceiling light or lamp.
>Turn on lights
> Add light to the app. This will scan for the bulb via Bluetooth
> Turn off the light when instructed via app display.
> Done, all works via app or wall switch (Whichever)
Get yourself one, its awesome!
Lost a star because it looses connection to Alexa on a daily basis and was bought mainly to be voice activated so not really meeting our requirements
I have cheaper smart bulbs with more features and easier set up. This bulb isn’t very bright. I managed to connect it to Alexa when it was set up in one room, I then moved it to another room and it refuses to connect so it essentially nuts just a regular bulb.
Bought one of these with a black friday deal with two amazon echos was going to use it for the living room but was abit too yellow for wifes liking so moved it to the stairway still cool to have alexa turn it on and off or even when i come home from outside i could just use my app in the car to turn in on Especially on those dark nights. Also can adjust brightness to whatever suits your fancy.
