Review on 🌈 LIFX 80" Color Zones: Illuminate Your Spaces with Style by Greg Bellman

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Wouldn't buy again.

I have had two Z-strips for about 5 months now. I want to love them as I have 20 other LIFX bulbs at home. But after a year of working with LIFX Technical Support, it became clear that this product was orphaned. It doesn't receive software updates from other products, it has a poorly recognized Wi-Fi radio by LIFX, and its colors don't match other LIFX products. Most importantly, LIFX's cloud solution is unreliable, resulting in very poor HomeKit stability for Z-strips and mini white light bulbs. My LIFX A19 and BR30 bulbs are fine but other LIFX products are not worth the money or frustration. LIFX support team is very poor in terms of response time and knowledge as all paths lead to "WiFi problems" or "Device reset" but if that is not fixed then they change the support resource and begin the process again. I have over 100 smart home devices in my house and these two LIFX products are the only disappointment.

Pros
  • Quality structure
