Review on πŸ”¦ Wyze Tunable Google Assistant Four Pack: Smart Lighting at Your Command by Peggy Petty

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good with a bumpy start.

I already have a few Kasa bulbs so I'm used to RGB bulbs. I just got my first two Wyzes the other day and I'm having problems. Both went through the setup, the router assigned them an address, Alexa recognized them without my doing. That was the end of the first good experience. Once joined and in the app they didn't do anything at all including getting a requested unsolicited firmware update. They are not updated and the Wyze or Alexa app does not control them. I checked online and saw several other people having the same problem with no written solution. I spoke to Wyze who wanted me to send them to Wyze for a replacement almost immediately. We didn't do any testing, but I've been very careful about what I've already done. I used Revain and their super amazing Prime return policy to get another pair. The second pair worked as it should (absolutely no crashes). These lamps are bright, fast and appear to be of great quality. I think the first two bulbs were part of a bad or premature birth as they both didn't work properly in exactly the same way. I think it's happening. Wyse with 1100 lumens corresponds to about 75 watts, Kasa with 850 lumens corresponds to about 60 watts. Both run quite warm at full brightness. Wyze is only slightly warmer than Kasa. I wouldn't put them in a closed mount. The heat alone makes them fail faster. I will buy more.

Pros
  • lighter. Dimmer. Better. - The maximum luminous flux of most colored lamps is 800 lm. Adjust our lamps brighter (1100lm/75W), dimmer (30lm/2W) or elsewhere, with a wide range of light output, as intense or as subtle as you need.
Cons
  • Expensive
