Review on Enhanced Smart WiFi Light Bulb 2.0: Ultimate Connectivity and Versatility by Brokencyde Greer

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It worked great, then no

I bought them at the end of September for a smart home experience. They were very easy to install and worked so well that about two weeks later I bought two more packs to cover all the light fixtures on my main level. They also connected quickly and worked very well. not done yet. About a month after installation, all 12 different lightbulbs started turning off. Sometimes they would reconnect on their own after a while, and other times I had to do the whole forget/reset/bind dance to get them to reconnect. Then even that stopped working for a couple of lightbulbs. I figured my Wi-Fi might not be able to handle that many connections, so we added an expensive mesh network that could handle 75+ and had a 2.4GHz option, but it didn't get any better. I tried connecting a couple of lightbulbs that hadn't previously connected and they still wouldn't connect. Then I purposely forgot the lightbulb, which worked great (and right next to my desk, which is very important) and I couldn't connect it to the mains, nor to my old one, nor to the mains. So now I just have a bunch of expensive LED bulbs that are supposed to be smart and I didn't have to replace them. I also have several bulbs from different brands (two of which are ultra-premium smart bulbs, the rest are more "budget" smart bulbs) and apart from a few initial setup issues, they all work great. I have to say that some of these Linkind lightbulbs are still working mostly as originally set up (now 3 months later) but they still randomly turn off or just don't respond without numerous requests and I'm afraid to comment on that don't contribute any changes for fear that they will no longer function as smart lightbulbs either. Two stars because they still work like standard bulbs, at least when unplugged.
