GeeniLUX Edison B11 Filament WiFi LED Smart Bulb, B11 Candelabra, 4W, E12 Base, Dimmable, White Light, Compatible with Amazon Alexa & Google Home - No Hub Required- 4 Pack

I have a couple other Geeni products and they all work great. This one worked right out of the box no issues

The media could not be loaded.  The good:about $10 a bulb for candelabra-base bulbs, instead of literally $50 each for Hue candelabra color bulbs or $35 for two Hue white candelabra bulbs. I need six bulbs for my chandelier, so this was the biggest pro.Classic candle shape bulb, not as chunky as the weird faux-flame LED bulbs I was replacing. These look like they'd work well with miniature clip-on shades if that's the look you're going for.Warm white light - 2700K is what the bulbs I was replacing put out as well, not bad light for a dining room.They are dimmable.Alexa integration was pretty seamless.The bad:Setup was infuriating and help options through the app were not helpful at all. Finally, in an act of desperation I reset my router and that enabled me to set up the bulbs. While they were in pre-setup mode, they flashed the whole time- half quickly, half slower, all strobey and headache-inducing(see video.)Even 1% is still pretty bright - yes, turning the whole fixture to 1% does appreciably dim the room, but I was hoping for a little more range. 100% should obviously be bright, but 1% in these bulbs feels equivalent to 15% from my Hue bulbs. The photo of the fixture shows the left bulb at 1% and the two on the right at 100%.Not tunable at all, despite what they say. If warm/cool white light color range is important to you, I'd maybe go with the color bulb version - but those were out of stock for another two weeks so I figured "if I can tune the white light, these will do what I need!" You cannot tune these from bright/cool white to a warm white. They do thankfully sit at an agreeable light temp for the room I'm using them in, but the product description says "tunable white" when it should say "dimmable warm white"The app is hot garbage. Thankfully now that they're up and working, I will hopefully not interact with it again until it's time to replace a bulb with one of the two extras I have since they were sold in sets of 4 and I needed 6. It's not clear how to group bulbs into a room or a fixture, and while I'm all in favor of being multilingual, maybe not in the same app? there's a setting in the "smart scenes" tab that is clearly on and off, but is not labeled in English. Only after messing around with it did I realize you apparently need to create one entry to turn the lights in a scene on and another entry to set their brightness. Like I said, not planning to interact with the app with any regularity, but if I have to have an app for these lights, it could be better.The actual bulb base is longer than either of the bulb types I was replacing, so they sit higher in the fixture and look a little wonky and bobblehead-y. There's also a weird silicone-ish collar around the base of the bulb that I don't know the purpose of - it's see through and blends with the bulb, but what is it?

I was SO hoping these would be the sake as other Geeni lights where you can control brightness and color temperature through the app but they are not. I may not have read well enough and was operating under my assumption. So that was super disappointing. That being said, we put in two bulbs from the same pack and they were different colors. Very obviously two different colors. I probably just got a bad batch, but overall they weren't very useful!

Geeni has been the most straight forward smart light bulb I've ever installed. But that's probably because I learned my lesson from previous fails. So here's the most important tip... Be sure you are on 2.4 ghz wifi. This is very important, and was the source of my rookie headaches. If you have Frontier Fios, check to see if you're on TOTAL WIRELESS. It's a feature that allows you to have one wi-fi SSID and it will simply auto optimize and switch to 2.4 or 5.0 ghz for your devices. By default this feature should be disabled, but I had enabled it a long time ago and forgot. If you have this enabled, you need to disable it for the set-up process to go smooth. You do this in your router admin. You will need to download the Geeni app to go through the set-up process. After your bulbs are all set-up, you can return to total wireless if you wish. To connect to Alexa, you need to go through the add device process in the Alexa app, and select Geeni. It will then relay you to the Geeni app where you make the registration. You then go back to the Alexa app and enable the Geeni SKILLs. I hope one day, there is some sort of coalition/unification app for all smart devices and bulbs. I am managing way too many apps. LOL! 5-Stars!

The level of dimness you can adjust is minimal and hard to notice. I could not figure out how to set all bulbs as a lamp on the app. You have to turn on/off and adjust dimness for each bulb one at a time. I paid more money to have the feature of controlling via app and ability to dim. I was let down by the degree to which these features function.

I wanted lights that showed the cool filliment inside, but were also alexa enabled. Lot's of the more affordable lights are all frosted over and plastic.These were exactly what I was looking for. I would have really loved if they also could transition from Daylight to SoftWhite but beggers can't be choosers.People said they had issues with it connecting to alexa, or constant blinking issues, but i haven't ran into that. Been using for 2 days now. Followed the instructions and they all connected just fine.The chandelier is in the back patio so it's at least 30 feet away from the router but it all works great!Granted I will say that dimmed setting 100% to 10% are still pretty damn bright. Which is fine with me, but that comment from other customers is true.In either case- I love em, they look like old school filiment bulbs but are smart enabled. Exactly what I wanted. Posted a photo of it during the day and at night with the lights on.

Not clear instructions. I have called for help.

Having all four on the same lighting fixture and getting them ALL to cooperate was challenging. You'll find the first and the second are no problem, but then the others force you to do the reset process, which then resets them all again. So the reset process is flick the on/off light switch 3 times slow...then you can re-install. Further, Alexa struggled a bit with them, but Google Assistant handled it with out issue, after Google took over, Alexa did seem to fall in line. Strange. Anyway, I needed the dimming feature to be darker as a home defense/security feature, but it's not dim enough. Oh well, can't win them all, just glad I was able to find all four for $37 versus 1 for $40 at best buy.

This needs 2.4G wifi to connect. However being someone who finds technology difficult and complicated, this was really easy to install, three bulbs easily got connected to wifi and the app. However forth bulb just did not. It never blinked despite trying to reset it several times, so it just didn't connect to wifi or the app. So one of four bulb is defective.Unhappy about that. Have contacted seller let's see what solution they provide. This sold by seller so Amazon is not able to help much, which it otherwise does, if there is issue with product.Now if as forth bulb is defective and I need the forth bulb, not sure if I have to buy another pack of two may be and keep my fingers crossed so that one of it will atleaar connect to wifi and the app, so all four on the light fixture are working and can be controlled using the app
