Horrible product, dumbest smart bulb I ever owned.

If I wanted a constantly blinking light I would have purchased one. Constantly blinking because the stupid thing wont pair with the app. Had a couple of these actually working properly for a little while but every time the power goes out they need to re-pair or connect to the wifi and have difficulty doing so. Horrible first setup, the app is not intuitive, the whole system is just bad news from the get go. Every time I have an issue with one I spend 30 minutes (actually less the more often…

Pros
  • We have 6 of them and half the time they don’t all come on when we tell Alexa to turn them on.
Cons
  • Cannot connect to wifi! Always flashing!

Loses connection daily

It loses it's connection daily. I wish the C by GE would make a filament bulb. I have 20 lights controlled by my Google home and this is the first time I have had a problem. easy to set up. easy to add to my G-Home. Very versatile; dimmable, colors. really like it. I thought the problem might be the fixture. It is older and maybe the connection wasn't good. But I moved it to another fixture and the problem followed, and was no longer there in the original fixture where I put a C by GE bulb. My…

Pros
  • ‎Clear
Cons
  • Susceptible to power outages

Happy with the Color Selection & App - Bulbs do Flicker Though

This bulb was easy enough to setup. It requires that you download the Solana app from your app store AND enable the Solana skill in your revain Alexa app. My bulbs did require the extra setup step where you have to flip the light switch a few times to force it to start blinking, but I've had to do this with even more expensive bulbs.The BR30 bulb in Frost is a white light that can be adjusted from a harsh cold blue to the warmest shade of yellow. From the Solana app, you can drag a slider to…

Pros
  • ‎861703
Cons
  • Doesn’t work well with dimly-lit rooms

Love these! Easy for the technologically challenged

Setup took 2 minutes. Just needed to make sure wifi name and password was correct. I bought these for my bathroom vanity, I like bright lighting to do my makeup and dim warm lighting at night. I don't have dimmers in my bathroom so these are an easier way of getting that low lighting in the middle of the night when I don't really want to be jolted with lights on full blast.

Pros
  • Light Bulbs
Cons
  • Can be affected by fluctuating to extreme temperatures

Won't Connect: my feedback

Don't waste your time. This product has terrible reviews on the app, lots of people stated that they couldn't access the feature to change between warm and cool if you have an Android. I wouldn't be able to confirm because we couldn't get the bulbs to connect at all.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern Edison filament design that provides a unique lighting experience
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people who are sensitive to light

Stopped working in a matter months. Bad customer service.

I ordered one bulb to see if I liked it. It came, it was great, so I ordered more for the other fixtures on my first floor. The bulbs were great for the first few months. Then slowly they all stopped working. I tried reinstalling and reprogramming and resetting them multiple times. The set-up process is not super-easy if you have multiple fixtures with multiple bulbs. Now they just say unreachable in the app. I reached out to customer service multiple times. They finally emailed me back after…

Pros
  • Love it
Cons
  • Not compatible with all types of lighting fixtures

Did not work for my opinion

Could not get this item to work in multiple locations in house despite having followed instructions. This was returned

Pros
  • Safe and secure, as it's certified by the highest safety standards
Cons
  • Possible security issues if the WiFi network isn't secure

Changes colors! best in my review

I absolutely love the color changing mechanism of this bulb. All from the tip of my fingers! Will look to buy more in order to create different ambiances throughout the house.

Pros
  • Conveniently connect with Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri to easily control your lights
Cons
  • Not ideal for reading due to limited brightness options

Warm to Cool white in seconds!

I never know if a cool or warm light works best in a space. Now I can determine that in seconds! The quality of light is excellent and bulb is weather resistant. Will def be buying more.

Pros
  • ‎Glass
Cons
  • Limited brightness adjustment option

Doesn’t work - my new review

I’ve had issues with both the bulbs I’ve bought. The one worked well but the second I never got to connect. The flashing strobe is quite annoying and even toxic as you try to set it up.The setup process takes about 2 minutes once initiated but as I mentioned, doesn’t always or usually work. The pairing with my WiFi is bad and after about 3 months the one that was connected, disconnected. I can no longer connect either light.

Pros
  • Dimmable feature allows you to set the lighting ambiance that suits your mood
Cons
  • Limited lifespan when compared to traditional incandescent bulbs

Waste of money in my review

Do not buy this product. Unless you enjoy staring at your phone for 30 minutes watching an app (that you had to download) crash over an over again give you errors despite you following the instructions to the letter all while it flashes like you're a 20s kid at the club. And just when you think you finally have it working, just wait 4 months for it to stop responding again and have to attempt to set it up all over again while you curse at the app and your spouse is angrily attempting to make…

Pros
  • ‎80
Cons
  • Limited compatibility with smart home systems

Constantly goes offline

Disconnects constantly. There is no issue with the WiFi. The lamp is powered on constantly. But when the bulbs are turned off with the app, a couple hours later the app cannot find the bulbs. I have to manually power of and on, then wait, then it reconnects. This is constant, and they're completely unreliable.

Pros
  • ‎8 Watts
Cons
  • May not work well in larger spaces

Will not connect for my opinion

I spent 3 months(not a typo) trying to get it connected while trying everything. Still will not connect. All tech support did was send me the same directions I'd already been using. Save your money.

Pros
  • Provides a nostalgic and vintage look with excellent performance
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain light fixtures, such as chandeliers and pendant lights

Not great with Akexa

This bulb does not integrate well with Alexa. Alexa seems to control it, however, the Solana app does not seem to sync correctly. I particular, the 'off' command does not always process. The result is that the app thinks the light is on when it is not.

Pros
  • ‎Wi-Fi
Cons
  • May not fit some lamp shades due to its size

Worst bulb ever in my review

It is terrible, constantly looses connectivity so you end up with a blinking light bulb that you have to reconnect over and over. Total fail worst bulb I’ve ever owned.

Pros
  • Too expensive for 1 bulb I like the brightness of it.
Cons
  • Expensive compared to regular light bulbs

Unable to Connect to Wifi through my Android Phone

After several frustrating attempts to connect to my wifi network through my cell phone, I was Unable to Connect the bulbs to my Wifi through my Android Phone

Pros
  • ‎Vera, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa
Cons
  • No option for scheduling the lights to turn on and off

Unreliable product and poor customer service.

We purchased these bulbs for use in an overhead over the sink fixture. After two months of use, one bulb became erratic and finally simply blinked off and on. No amount of resets/reinstalls could revive it. Two emails were sent to the company and no response. At $20.00 a bulb I expected a better product and better customer service. Also, only one device is able to operate the bulbs, so if that person leaves the house with his or her phone, no one else can operate the bulbs. They are nice but…

Pros
  • ‎3 inches
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain home security systems

not so smart best in my review

Couldn't get this bulb to work with its own app much less Alexa.Sent it back.Go with Kasa, simple app, good compatibility with Alexa.

Pros
  • Reduces energy consumption and saves on electricity bills
Cons
  • Compatibility may be limited to certain smart home hubs

Poor connection issues

Very poor connectivity. I have another brand for other rooms but this one always I am having trouble. It’s very hard to use. It can loose connections very easily. Hard to reconnect it. 👎🏻

Pros
  • ‎Dimmable
Cons
  • May interfere with other wireless devices in the home
