Review on Bulbrite A19 Solana WiFi Connected LED Alexa Smart Light Bulb, Single-A19, Tunable 2200K-6500K Color Temperature, Frost Finish by Samuel Lewis

Novelty Item - Would not recommend

I like the ability to adjust the brightness and warmth of the light as well as the concept of schedules and creating scenes. There were 2 key things that didn’t work as I had expected: schedules/scenes and user access. First, I am disappointed that, in order for the schedules and scenes to be harmonized, the light would have to be on 24/7. For example, I had hoped to use these in my bathroom with a schedule that would enable the light to have a nightlight effect when turned on within a certain range of hours. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be possible without a lot of manual interactions or unnecessary use of lights if they are kept on all day to accommodate the scenes/schedules - which defeats the purpose of these lights altogether for me. The second issue, you can’t add users to the app to allow others in the household to interact with the lighting. I would not recommend these lights as-is. In their current form, they are a novelty item rather than something for utility and ease-of-use.
