Easy setup and can be operated in isolated WiFi if desired

This is a review after day 1. I would like to clarify one config issue that was not clear to me from the product description and LIFX website. You do not have to operate the bulb in the same network as your smart phone or tablet. I have an Internet of things (IoT) wifi that is separate from my normal WiFi. All you need to do is connect the bulb to the IoT WiFi and then temporarily switch your phone to the IoT WiFi and claim the bulb to your LIFX cloud account. Then you can switch back your phone to your normal network and still control the bulb from your phone. Technically it means you control the bulb remotely all the time instead of via the local WiFi. The result is the same: you have full control over your bulb from your phone. Only downside: should you loose your external internet connection you cannot control the bulb locally. But I think a separate IoT WiFi is a good trade off if you are generally concerned about the security of IoT devices. The setup was quick and painless. While I will operate the bulb mostly in one fixed setting, I love the fact that light wise I can do almost anything I want: from cold whites to warm whites to almost any color you can think of at any brightness I want. This bulb also proofs to me that smart lights should not have to rely on a hub. LIFX,'s decision to use the cloud as hub seems right to me. One word of caution: I look at smart bulbs as a complement to non smart light solutions. I would not rely on all lights in my place being smart to avoid sitting in the dark should the smart bulbs ever get compromised. Last but least a complaint: some of the Nest integrations with the Nest cam require a Nest cam subscription even though I don't really see why those features could not be implemented without a subscription. Overall still a great product.

Finally a 1100-lumen smart light bulb~! It's great~!!

== Summary == The LIFX A19 multi-color smart light bulb is a great product with great design, excellent brightness (up to 1100 lumens), and easy setup and installation. I love how I can change the colors & set time schedules. It integrated easily into Google Home and SmartThings. *Pros: -Cool design. -Multi-color. -1100 lumens in A19 form-factor~! Most smart bulbs top off at 800 lumens. -Easy to use app. -Integrates easily into Google Home & SmartThings. *Neutral: -Pricey~! *Cons: -None. I'm using this LIFX bulb at my front porch which is why I needed something brighter than the typical 800 lumen smart bulb. With a non-transparent glass dome cover surrounding the bulb, I knew 800 lumens just wouldn't be enough. During initial setup, I experienced some connection hiccups when trying to pair it to my home Wifi network. The app suggested that I turn off and on the bulb 5 times to try the pairing again and that solved it. Once inside the app, I was delighted by all the options I had. The app offers 4 main settings - Colors, Create, Effects, and Day & Dusk. Inside the Colors settings, you can adjust the color of the light as well as the brightness level. In the Create section, you can apply "Themes" such as "Thanksgiving," "Festive," "Party!", "Mellow," etc. In the Effects settings, you can apply lighting effects such as "Spooky," "Flicker," "Pastels," "Color Cycle," and more. It is inside the "Day & Dusk" setting where you can set your light bulb's on and off schedule. In my case, I have the bulb to turn on at 5:00 PM at 2700K color & 100% brightness. Then at midnight, the bulb is programmed to stay on but reduce Brightness to 30%. And at 6 AM, the light turns off until it becomes 5 PM again. Even though it's pricier than competing smart bulbs, I still decided on the LIFX bulb for its higher lumen rating of 1100. It's good stuff.

Bright, vibrant colors!! Easy setup

I've tried Hue Lights before, and thought they were great... And then I tried lifx! This bulb is brighter than the Hue Lights, and it's color variety is much better! Super vibrant, rich colors light up the room, but on the lowest setting are super dim. Highly recommend watching a YouTube comparison video between Hue Lights, lifx, and whatever brand you are considering. So far between Hue Lights and lifx, lifx takes the win by a long shot! In addition, there is no need for an extra Hub to throw into your house. each bulb connects directly to the Wi-Fi, and is manageable on iPhone or Android app, as well as any smart home device you may be using. The commands are super easy, and the app interface is beautiful, intuitive and easy to setup.

Easy to install, Zero connecting issue, Zero connection lost.

This review will include all the stuff that I installed since Dec. Will come back later for a long-term update. All of them installed on a managed network. 10 TP link Kasa Switches Single Pole 2 TP Link Kasa Smart Plug Mini Outlet 10 TP Link Kasa LB 110 (2700K) 3 TP Link Kasa LB 120 (2500-9000k) 1 TP Link Kasa LB 130 (Color) 6 LIFX Mini White 800L (2700K) 3 LIFX A19 (Color) Initial Installation: I have zero trouble on installation, zero connecting issue or losing connection issue. I guess most of the complains are from older review and the new firmware fixed the problem. Both brands have a very simple straight forward installation. First you down load the app, next you install the bulb, then you click ADD device and follow the screen instruction then voila. Bear in mind that at first the device is trying to connect to your phone/tablet DIRECTLY to initiate the process, so stay close to it and make sure both device on the same network 2.4ghz. After you enter the Wi-Fi info on screen, they will switch back to connect to the Wi-Fi instead of each other, so give it some time to do that. From that point everything should be smooth sail and you and proceed to update the firmware and finish the installation. Performance: Both TP Link and LIFX performs really well on the white bulb, both are nice and bright and providing about the same amount of light but the LIFX has a way better dimming performance. The TP link dim at 1% is not really 1%, is at least 20% I would say, where the LIFX dim is really at 1%. If dim to 1% is important for you, I will forget about TP link, it can't go below 20% IRL even it is showing at 1%. If dimming to 1% is not that important to you then I will say both are good and it will be depending on the price point. I got both at $14.99, no complains there. On the color bulb, the LIFX A19 will blow the TP Link LB130 away. LIFX A19 is rated at 85W and the LB130 is only at 60W, the brightness on the LIFX A19 is just pure awesome especially in color mode. Overall the LB130 is just weak, not bright at all on color and the one I have is kind of limping and became very dim on 3rd day so I end up returned it. On the switch and the plug. They are awesome, zero hick up at all and very responsive to command, is like instant on and off no delay there, very solid product and the price is good too. I am glad that they are one of the cheapest but performing very good. If you are putting 2 switches together, this is a perfect fit cover to use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D0Q81YW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If your recess base is too small for the bulb base to go through, this is a good adapter to use but beware of the depth of your recess, it might stick out. DiCUNO E26 to E26 Socket Extender, E26/E27 to E26/E27 Lamp Bulb Socket Extension, Lamp Holder Adapter (10-Pack) I wasn't going to do that before because the price was crazy. $40 regular bulb? You are kidding me. But at $14.99 a white bulb, I think is more doable now and I pulled the trigger, that's pretty much the same price when GE first came out the led bulb to replace filament decades ago.

Brightest and richest color or any smart light out now!

The picture is ONE bulb inn an alcove behind a wall sconce fixture, I FILLS the whole room with color day or night. I have just about every brand off smart color light on the market,and if i bought another it'd be one if these. It doesn't require a hub an only uses wifi, so setup can. E a bit confusing, but they have tons of tutotmruals. It easily fit right in with my home SMartthings Hub. HUE lights have aremound 750 lumens, these have 1100. These are worth the buy.

Yes having magical color-changing lights is 100% awesome. This review is how good LIFX bulbs are

This review is not about the value of owning RBG lights. Yes having magical color-changing lights is 100% awesome. This review is how good LIFX bulbs are. And yes they are fantastic: These are doing everything I wanted in an RBG light. Having brought these recently, I can't speak for the old firmware, but the current one seems to work great on my wifi network. They were easy to set up with the app, an update and have functioned nicely. Unlike HUE these are not part of a smart home system. Being full wifi I'm not sure how many one could add to a network before things got hairy. Being an network admin, I can say you will definitely have major problems if you have more than say 15 on a typical home router. Also unlike Zigbee lights, these do not relay control signals, if anything they will interfere with each other polluting your wifi network. But that is the price you pay for picking wifi, and you have to know that going in. It would be nice if LIFX had a ZigBee product, because I can say their LED light hardware is the best on the market, even better than Hue's bulbs. I can say with conviction these are the best RGB bulb's I've tried. As light, these are better than any of the imports here on amazon, hue, and definitely better than Ikea's newest RGB offering. If I had to rank them it would be LIFX > Hue > Ikea Tradfri, > everything else. These display all colors richly and accurately. They are very bright at some 900lm. They do not flicker even when dimming. They preform equally well with a warm or cool white settings. This is where the magic lights failed terribly as their "cool white" was a teal blue light at like 200 lm. These are a bit heavy at 7.5oz of weight, which is about the same as a medium sized apple. they are also oddly shaped with the squared off cylinder shape. So they might not work in some light fixtures. They are also LED lights so they *CANNOT* be used in closed figures with no air circulation. The painted metal bases of the bulbs act as a heat sink to dissipate the heat from the power transformers and LED's. Now they don't get hot. For practical purposes they are "warm" to hand, not burn you instantly hot like old fashioned bulbs. You can change these by hand even after hours of running, and they totally won't heat up your room....But they have circuits and LEDs are made with semi conductors so they must be kept rather cool to survive. They don't need active cooling, but installing them in say a typical flush mount ceiling fixture with a glass dome will cause these to overheat and cook the LED's into dead. But this is true of all LED bulbs. Basically any kind of open fixture is good. The app works decently for selecting colors: You get two wheels, one for color one for white. Spinning the wheel changes hue, moving up and down in the wheel changes the white/color mix, and flipping the dial in the middle changes brightness. This is very different from Hue's "color picker" approach but it works well for me. The white wheel is fantastic because it reads to me the specific Kelvin values for the white shade, thus setting to incandescent or sunlight tones is very easy. To my eyes the tones look correct for the K value claimed. Hue doesn't bother to offer specific K values for its white tones, which in my book is a huge fail. LIFX lights are the brightest RGB lights, and maintain their brightness over all shades of white and colors. The app is decent and lets me save any colors, and set up custom "Scenes." I do wish I had more control over the Day&Dusk function that lets you change the lights colors/brightness by time of day. It would at least be very nice to have more than 4 zones, or to edit the curves between the time zone. Just because I want it bright at noon and dark at 10pm doesn't mean I want the light to gradually darken from noon to 10pm evenly over those hours. I'm not sure, maybe I am not programming the app correctly. I still need to do some learning on all the app can do, and what 3rd party options might be out there. I linked these with the google voice assistant on my android phone. It works nicely and I can even change the colors by name. I don't own an echo or Home, or other active listening device and never plan to. I've set my phone to only take voice prompts at a button touch because I don't need every sound in my home recorded and sent off to a corporation for who knows what. Over all, if you wanna do a handfull of lights in your home, these are the ones to get.

Easy to connect

I was a little hesitant on buying one, since I felt that it was more a fad or for pre college kids sorta deal. Until I started using smart functions on Google Assistant (Alexa from Amazon) can also be used i'll describe my set up, which should be the same or similar to Alexa.. *highest brightness and *has built in WIFI. No Hub needed. Set up was easy: screw the bulb in, turn it on like a normal bulb, download the app and 'connect bulb'. After that it ask you to name the bulb, in my situation I used 'lamp' than it pairs and ready to use. It uses 2.4ghz signal, which is good on distance than 5ghz. Considering that it sends a basic signal 'off and on' its not clogging your WIFI like streaming film would be. After going threw the set up, it will ask you for WiFi password etc If you change the name of your network, you have to set it up over again, since its a new network. Shutting off you can use the app but in my set up. I use Google Home or my smartphone , only use the main app for some functions.. By adding the bulb to my Google home, it controls everything without going to a specific app and you can use voice : 'turn on lamp, off, change lamp color (insert a color) etc'. The official LIFX app does have themes, colors and you can see/turn the bulb brightness up or down or color suggestions and save to favorites even make home widget for android. Its also helpful on finding out names for example: I like daylight light, but the shade I like is 'cool daylight'. It does come in handy when you want a specific tone. The benefit of using it will with Google home IF you don't have Alexa, you can have all 'smart items' listed like a command center and set it into a room and see all smart items instead of going into every app. This has pushed me into adding 3 ceiling fans that are smart and use both Alexa and Google Assistant in the same way as the bulb. But can be automated on a schedule, similar to the bulb. I plan on replacing all their bulbs with LIFX. The main LIFX app is useful for creating themes and syncing multiple bulbs in various colors like 'Christmas, bright, cheerful etc' it cycles threw various colors creating a mood if you have more than 1 bulb. Using Google Assistant, similar to Alexa, you can say : Dim lamp to 30% etc its useful using voice than having to go to the stock app for everything. You also can be away from the house, outside of your WIFI and send the command turn lamp lights on/off when going home or pulling up to the house. PROS: VERY BRIGHT, Easy to use and connect, various colors, themes, sound themes, create a combination of colors or preset, can be dimmed. Has a day light schedule that can be made custom color that can turn on and off by-itself. You can also set it to turn on every day at a specif time, and off. CONS: Haven't found any. I will update the review once I add more bulbs into the set up and see how they all work in unison. I may have to figure out a naming scheme for multiple bulbs WARNING: Have a decent internet connection and make sure it can reach where the bulbs are set up. I think some are having connection issues because they're to far from the WIFI. Mine are all centralized. If you have a large home, invest in range extenders , mesh system or a decent WIFI setup. I plan on adding bulbs outside eventually. UPDATE: 1/10/2019 Using a total of 5 light bulbs, 2 per ceiling fan and 1 for the floor lamp. Will be adding more. I found it easier when using 2 bulbs, like in my set up for a ceiling fan to just name them both the same: In my case (fan light 1 and fan light 2)There are 2 bulbs per fan, so the commands controls both lights on the fan itself. Making it easier than calling out 4 different bulb by name, plus the floor lamp bulb. Also figured out you can use gemstone colors like: Amber, ruby, turquoise, emerald, sapphire etc but no exotic combination like (quartz which is various colors or saying 'sapphire red'. It defaults to sapphire blue. You can use gold and silver but not diamond or Onyx (black). You can control all bulbs by saying 'living room lights or change all lights to (insert color)' after setting all of them in the same room with Google assistant. Make sure to name them the same in the LIFX App AND Google home so voice commands are the same name.

Easy, and Works with Alexa and Logitech Harmony!

I bought 4 Lifx A19 Bulbs for $195 (4-pack). I bought these over Phillips Hue, or the TP bulbs because they are separately compatible with both Amazon Echo's Alexa, and also with Harmony Remotes (both of which I already have). I also liked the idea that they don't have to have a hub, so I'm not forced into buying the same brand in the future. I have been using them for 1 week now, and I am super satisfied with the bulbs themselves, and their compatibility. I will break it down: Light: First, they said that they these are like a 75 Watt bulb. This is true. On their "white" setting, they are plenty bright. In fact, my default setting for them is 50%, because otherwise the room gets too bright (a nice problem to have when the light is dimable). Also, through the app, there is both a White setting, and a Color setting. In the White setting you can set your standard light bulb look to be either warm or cold. In the color settings, there is a huge pallet of colors, so you can change it to just the shade you want it. The colors are equally bright, but they just don't seem that way because they are colors, and have less spectrum. The App: Again, happy with the app. Free to install on my iPhone, and linked up to all 4 light bulbs easily (i put them in one at a time, and did 4 setups, took about 10 minutes). Once in the app, I grouped all 4 bulbs together into "Living Room" So now, I can control them as a unit, or each individual bulb separately. I named the bulbs Uno, Dos, Tres, and Cuatro. These group and individual names carried over to Alexa as well, so I didn't have to group them within that app separately. Effects & Themes - One cool thing I wasn't expecting were the effects and themes that are pre-loaded in the app. Since I grouped 4 bulbs together, if I pick the "Exciting" theme, the bulbs light at different intensities to blues, yellows and greens. There are about 20 different themes. The effects are also neat. You can use your phone's microphone when music is on in the house, and it will make the colors pulse and dance to the beat. Or you can do "Candle Flicker" "Strobe" or "Spooky." The best one is "Animate Theme" where you pick a theme, and then it cycles my 4 lights through the various colors and intensities together. Alexa - I have an Echo Dot, and almost as soon I said "Alexa, discover new devices" I was able to control my new bulbs. I can say "Alexa, turn on/off living room lights. Or I can say, "Alexa, turn on Uno and Cuatro" if I just want two lights on. Other commands: "Alexa, set living room lights to 75%" "Alexa, tell LIFX to set living room lights to Blue/Green/Cyan/White/Red/Yellow/Purple Alexa does not recognize the effects or the themes. Logitech Harmony - Again, I just went into my Harmony Hub app, and linked my accounts, and it updated my remote control. Now I can add lighting to my "Activities" I haven't done this yet, but I plan to have a "Watch a Movie on Netflix" which turns the lights blue, turns on Netflix. I will be making another Activity called "Netflix & Chill" and that one will turn off the TV, turn on some light jazz, and set the lights to 25%! Anyway, I'm super happy with these. They are expensive, but only about $20 more each than if you got similar LED dumb bulbs...

Please don't pay any attention to the negative reviews.

Update on January 9th: I now have a 3rd A19 and I'm loving it. As with the other two A19s I bought, setup was extremely easy. I see other customers reporting problems, but this is now three A19s in a row that I bought and set up individually with absolutely no issues. I don't know why I'm not having any issues, but so far my experience has been 5-star all the way. I wish I had tons of money because now I want to replace every single light in my home with these. ***Original Review*** To start with, installation is extremely easy. Follow the steps below. *DON'T TURN YOUR NEW LIFX LIGHTS ON UNTIL STEP 3* 1. Install the LIFX app 2. ***THIS STEP IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT*** Switch to your 2.4 GHz network (or you can switch to the 2.4 GHz before you install the app, it doesn't matter). 3. Turn on your new LIFX light(s) using the light switch. 4. Look at the LIFX app. You are guided through the installation of your lights. It's extremely easy. I would love to detail the process but there's almost nothing to say. Installation is a breeze. 5. ***ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING*** After installation is complete, switch back to your 5 GHz network. Yep, you don't have to stay on your 2.4 GHz network after you're done installing your new LIFX light(s). 6. Enjoy! I mean, really, that's all there is to it. At this point, the lights should just work and give you no problems whatsoever. However, if you *DO* experience any problems, then restart your router. *NOT* restarting the router is the one thing that is causing people to have problems with their smart lights after installation (or *during*). Routers are computers too, and so just like any computer, they need to be restarted regularly - usually after connecting new devices. Sure, some routers are better than others and so they don't need to be restarted as often, but *ALL* routers still need to be restarted on a regular basis, whether that's weekly or monthly or just a few times per year. If you experience issues controlling these lights with Apple HomeKit (using "Hey Siri"), then don't blame LIFX. Any issues you have when using "Hey Siri" are Apple's fault. For example, you might ask, "Hey Siri, make the lights orange" (or any color), but instead of getting the color you asked for, the lights turn off. For some reason, they aren't actually OFF, but they are instead set to 0% brightness. So, just ask for whatever brightness level you want, like 100%. If you continue having issues at this point, like maybe Siri will claim one of your lights failed or is experiencing a problem, then you should ask Siri to turn the lights off and then ask Siri to turn the lights back on. Or, you can go into the Home app and manually turn the lights off and back on from there instead of asking Siri to do it. If one day you end up losing all ability to control one or more of your lights, then restart the router. You will encounter this at some point, and I'm here to tell you that this isn't a problem with the LIFX lights. It's a problem with the technology in general. It affects all smart lights on the market. This technology just isn't completely matured yet. I haven't seen any negative reviews posted since the firmware update yet that *DON'T* have an easy solution, such as restarting the router. Yet, unfortunately, people post a negative review not knowing that there's a simple solution to the problem(s) they're experiencing. So, please don't pay attention to them. I've had my LIFX lights for 34 days now, and so far I haven't had any issues that didn't have a super easy and super simple solution. Whenever I have any sort of issue controlling my lights with "Hey Siri", I try the following: 1. "Hey Siri, set the lights to 100" (or whatever brightness level I want at the time) 2. If that fails, I ask Siri to turn the lights off and back on again. 3. If that fails, I restart my iPhone (it's the only thing I use to control my lights). 4. If that doesn't fix the control issues, I restart the router. I have only had to restart my router *one time* so far in the 34 days of daily use of these lights. Usually, all I have to do is just tell Siri to set the brightness to something OTHER than 0% and then they are fine. It's a strange bug, but it's not a big deal, and it's certainly not a good reason for me to say anything bad about these lights, especially since it's just an issue with Apple HomeKit and it has nothing to do with the LIFX app or the lights. So, I have absolutely NO regrets buying these lights! If I had known how much I'd like them, I would've gladly paid a lot more for them, knowing it would be worth every penny. Here's why you should get these instead of some other brand's smart lights: - The LIFX smart lights can be brighter than any other smart light on the market. They can produce up to 1100 lumens! Compare that to the average maximum brightness of 800 lumens of other smart lights. Interestingly, the LIFX Mini lights produce a maximum brightness of 800 lumens. The brightest smart lights from other manufacturers is only 800 lumens. This is because other manufacturers use vastly inferior-quality parts that make up the "guts" of the smart lights, resulting in a much lower heat tolerance (and also an inferior color quality). - The LIFX lights don't require (or use) a hub. If you buy just 1 light, then you'll have everything you need. - The colors they produce are absolutely amazing. If you don't believe me, look at reviews on YouTube. You will find people who have compared these to the other leading smart lights on the market and found the LIFX lights to produce better colors. It's just my opinion that the colors are *amazing*. They all seem very true and accurate, and very pleasing to look at. - There's no such thing as a "Starter Kit" for LIFX, and you don't need one! If you want just 1 light, you can buy just 1 and you'll have everything you'll need. - They have the best app. Again, check YouTube reviews of these lights! - These produce more light per watt. That means they are the most efficient smart lights on the market. At their maximum brightness of 1100 lumens, they only consume 11W. By comparison, the competing Philips Hue light can only produce 800 lumens, and it requires 10W to do so. 1100 lumens is a 75W equivalent, and 800 lumens is a 60W equivalent. - The best CRI of the LIFX lights is 85 (I assume this is when you're using white, which is also 3500K). Philips Hue's best CRI appears to only be 80. I personally don't care much about CRI, but I know many people do, so there you go. - LIFX smart lights work with Google Home, Alexa, and Apple HomeKit. - In my experience so far, LIFX has fantastic customer service and support. I feel like I'm treated as a family member. They feel like a very small, down-to-earth family-owned business. Why did I contact them? I just wanted to ask them about the issues controlling the lights with "Hey Siri". I wanted to see if they were aware of it, and unfortunately, no one has yet reported this issue to them. They said they will attempt to find a way to fix this issue even though it's really all on Apple HomeKit's end. So yeah, I highly, highly, highly recommend the LIFX A19 lights! They have quite noticeably improved my quality of life.

Easy & Wonderful Lights

These bulbs are great for my needs. They provide enough light for my picky tastes and are dimmable, using the intuitive app. The most important part, for me, is that you can actually get a warm white (Neutral 3200 K for me) that looks like a nice comforting incandescent bulb. Setup was simple, and despite what I read in some reviews about the bulbs dropping off of the home Wi-Fi, I have not had this happen in the weeks that I have been using them. My only complaint, and it is a small one, is that once in a while, I will issue a command for a group, and one of the lights is a few seconds behind the others in following the order. But that really isn't too bad. Almost like I am looking to complain. The many included themes are fun to experiment with, as well as just the massive amount of colors you can dial in with the app. If there was a way I could create my own themes to save, that would be great, but I have yet to find if that really is an option. I'd set my preferred warm whites as a default on for my bulbs. That way after playing with the colors and themes, I could reset to my default with one action. These bulbs work great with Alexa, and when I add a bulb, or a group, she discovers them quickly. Just activate the LIFX skill and she does the rest. I keep looking for other opportunities to replace existing bulbs with these from LIFX. I have a pair in a basement room on the ceiling, and the cheapo covers for the lights that clamp onto a light bulb with a stiff wire hasp, worked great with these, even though they are not traditional "bulb" shaped. The other three are in table lamps and you cannot tell they are "special" bulbs. No more three way bulbs that only have one setting working. I can set these from 0 to 100% brightness and get the exact level of light I desire at any time. As I said, they work great with Alexa, the Android app works fine too. I have yet to experiment with the app for iOS, but the app for Windows 10 works surprisingly well. I did notice that the PC version was missing some of the prepackaged themes though. The bulbs may seem a little pricey, but if you can get a deal or convince yourself they will last for 22 years, they are not too expensive. I have one "spare" that will either be a true spare, or may find a home socket in the very near future. I am more than pleased with my purchase, and imagine that there will eventually be more of these bulbs in my home. I have also been interested in some of their other items like the tiles, bars, and strips. Those would be fun to experiment with and add some dazzle in other places around the home.
