LUMIMAN LED Smart Light Bulbs BR30 65W Equivalent WiFi Full Color Flood Light Bulb Compatible with Alexa Google Home E26 Dimmable RGB Bulbs 900 Lumens No Hub Required 2 Pack

I've been using these to light my family room. Prior to purchasing, I had what are probably the typical concerns about buying a product that is discounted quite a bit compared to the top leading brands. The TL;DR review is that I ordered more of these to light other rooms, so they're good!I was pleasantly surprised by the Lumiman bulbs. They are sufficiently bright - as bright as the non-smart LED 60W equivalent bulbs I replaced with them. They offer several temperatures of white - cool, daylight, white, warm, soft - so you have some good flexibility there to suit your white temperature preference - and you can change it on demand too!The non-white colors are not as bright as the whites but I wasn't expecting them to be. You can choose from a huge range of colors in the PlusMinus app using a color wheel. Using voice command from Alexa, you can maybe pick from 15 or so named colors plus the 5 white temperatures. It's plenty, really. The PlusMinus app also has some "scenes" you can set up that make them change colors rapidly in a pattern. The scenes are kind of neat to play with, but probably not something I'll use that much. Fun party favor I suppose.Alexa integration is really good. You can turn them off/on, change the colors, change the brightness by talking to Alexa or using the Alexa app.Set up was easy after I got past one initial hurdle. A 2.4 GHz network is required for first time set up. I have Google wifi hubs that support both 2.4 and 5 Ghz, but they don't let you choose whether to connect your phone/tablet to 2.4 or 5 GHz. The Google hub decides for you based on what it decides is optimal and in my case that was 5 GHz. So to install these I had to dig out an older tablet that doesn't have 5 GHz so that I could connect to 2.4 and use the app to configure them. May or may not be a stumbling block for you depending on your network. Once you install them the first time, though, you can control them from a 5 GHz network - no problem.I've only had them a week so I can't comment on longevity. Final tip is that if you have some particular scenes you like (e.g. this bulb red, this bulb blue, that one gold, etc.) you can create a routine using the Alexa app that will set all that up with a single voice command (that you choose). Kind of a nice short cut to setting a room up quickly with some pre-determined lighting settings. Good fun and useful.

I just got these bulbs today, pack of two. They work really well, but there are a few things to consider. I install the App scanning the QR code (on my Android phone) that is included in the User Manual, it is called "PlusMinus". You will be prompted to create an account, save your user ID (which is the email you use to create such account) and password since you will need that information to enable Alexa access, if you wish to do so.I would suggest to connect your phone to the 2.4 ghz network after installing the app since the network will be automatically recognized by the PlusMinus app.After installing the application, follow the instructions to add a device. The bulb will need to be plugged into the lamp/outlet that with the switch OFF.The app will ask you to verify the network you are connected is the 2.4 ghz. This device will NOT connect to the 5.2 ghz networks. You will also need your network password.Proceed to turn on and off the bulb about three times, the bulb will start "blinking" or "breathing" then select Next on the application. The app will run some settings and the bulb will be installed. NOTE: if you enter your network password incorrect, the bulb will not be connected and you will need to try again. This happened to me, and the app will not give you an error code reason as of why you could not connect. so be careful when entering your passowrd.You can always change your light bulb name after you finish the intallation.If you choose to integrate the bulb(s) to your Amazon Alexa app, you will need first give Alexa permission to access your account created on the PlusMinus app. For this, Alexa will ask you for your user ID and Password, and to access all the information on the PlusMinus app. After enabling this smart home skill, you are ready to add your bulb to the Alexa app. Keep in mind the brand name "Lumiman" is not listed on the default brand list on the Alexa app, so you will have to select "other brand" at the bottom of the list. Alexa took about a minute or so to recognize the bulbs, with the name I gave them in the PlusMinus app.It is not too difficult to install the app and make the bulbs connect to it, I'd just recommend having all the information mentioned before written down to avoid any errors. The lights work great, I like the PlusMinus app gives me more control on how the lights work. Worth the money if you are somewhat tech savvy and don't mind spending a few minutes setting up these bulbs.

Was a little tricky to get set up but that's a fault of my own vs the product. Once dialed in they work flawlessly with endless options available through the app. High quality and happy I purchased these

Had a little bit of trouble with the setup process. Had to run through the instructions 3 times with each bulb before it worked. But once set up they integrate well with Google Home. Color and brightness are both great.

I was looking for an alternate to my Globe Suite bulbs which stopped working and the replacement never worked with Smart App. These work seamlessly with the app and didn't even had to search this in order for the app to recognize it. Pairing mode automatically found the bulb and then it took only few seconds to setup.I might change all the bulbs in my house and replace them with these.

Easy to use and extremely fun to experiment with. I plan to eventually replace old previous household lightbulbs with smart bulbs.

Easy to install and connect but works only in 2,4ghz networks :( so not for me
