LIFX Color, A19 800 lumens, Wi-Fi Smart LED Light Bulb, Billions of Colors and Whites, No Bridge Required, Compatible with Alexa, Hey Google, HomeKit and Siri (2 Pack)

Durable, App could be a little more intuitive and better designed though

Arrived much before time. Good quality bulbs. Bought them for the broad colour temperature range which looks awesome. So far no connection issues. Thanks !!

LIFX Product is Supreme. Every colour you want and the control right on your phone.

Once you get them set up, they are super easy to use. Wish that has a few more control options within the app. Like intermittent dimming wit adjustable speed would awesome. Themes around the above concept would so cool. But that’s just wish list stuff.

I recommend these LIFX bulbs, especially for those whose Hue Philips bridge is full. You just need WIFI to connect with them and they work well with the Alexa smarthome ecosystem.

I use a Linux desktop as my daily driver. This review and my rating of the LIFX light bulbs is mostly concerned with that... using them with Linux. I was pretty delighted to learn after installing them, I could ping them directly over wifi. You *can* use them with a cloud based home automation system, but my net connection is pretty flaky, so I *LOVE* that I can ping them directly. I was able to find a node.js package that did most of the heavy lifting and provided a simple API to turn them on, turn them off and change their colour. I *think* it can also setup animations, but I'm not really into that. I saw a reference to a python package, but I don't do python anymore. I was able to find the docs (they're not perfect, but they're good enough) so I'll probably add a Janet or Clojure package... cause... you know... lisp. The don't seem to be the brightest bulbs I've seen, but they're good enough for my living room. You might be sad if you tried to light a 14' x 28' condo with just two bulbs. I would say go with 6 because blue and purple seemed to be dimmer than green and red. That might be a feature of human colour perception or maybe it's the LEDs in the bulb. But when I tried out my Commodore 64 colour scheme, the cyan was MUCH brighter than the blue. I would love it if these things were a bit cheaper, but they're cheap enough that I bought a few. I rated "value for money" at four stars. I'm happy with the purchase and definitely don't feel like I was ripped off. So... if you're a Linux person and you want to do coloured light bulbs like all your iProduct friends, these are great. If you grok node or bash, it's pretty straight forward to make them change color at a certain time of day, when your spouse emails you or the CI/CD pipeline stalls (again.)
