I liked these lightbulbs. before one died

I was looking for an attractive bulb for two identical hurricane style bulbs with partially clear glass domes. Since the bulbs were partially exposed, I wanted something more eye-catching than a regular bulb. I have smart lightbulbs all over my house that connect to a SmartThings hub, and I wanted the lightbulbs to be compatible with that system (and they are, although no hub is needed because they're WiFi). These lamps meet all requirements within seven months. They're attractive, put out a decent amount of light, and connect easily to both the Kasa app and my SmartThings setup. Unfortunately, one of the two bulbs broke after seven months. Well, for the price of a smart LED bulb, I expect it to last at least 5 years, maybe up to 10. I've had several regular smart LED bulbs and they've all lasted a few years. But I understand that the quality control is not perfect, so I give these bulbs another replacement. I ordered a replacement bulb for a blown bulb and will see how long it lasts. Fingers crossed, but until then I can't give them more than two stars due to reliability issues.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
