Great for price, buy them!

Update: supposed to go into pairing mode when turned off multiple times rapidly via a light switch. Like I think on-off 3 times.Some of them pair after losing power just once. So if you accidentally turn it off from the switch you're stuck pairing and resetting up the Alexa group if in a group. I'm good with tech and for the sale price it was worth it.Unfortunately, I never experienced this issue and I got my parents who live 3 hrs away set up with echo dots and these bulbs in all the rooms and hallways.Bad news bears. Almost once a month I get a call from my dad ”ones blinking rapidly what do I do?” my dad should remember after the 5th time but alas, no. It's the same 3 bulbs so I finally swapped some of mine for those when I visited. These seem like they have different firmware which is just stupid.Also, when readded the geeni app knows the bulb name already so why not have a more persistent pairing. How often would someone pair the bulb vs accidentally flip the switch for it? It should try pairing for 1-5 mins and then retry the old connectionOrig review:The 2.4 ghz network only for set up does suck. I have to switch networks for the set up but after setup it doesn’t matter. I bought 3 x single packs at Walmart for like $14 a piece. Using the coupon and code, this 4 pk is $21 and change after taxes. I Love themYes colors are not very bright. Oh well. White is pretty bright.For the sale price, it is 1/2 the cost of any other smart bulb.One tip. You can group them in the Geeni app for easier phone control. Like I have a Japanese style lamp with 3 bulbs. That I grouped into ”livingroom lamp” on the geeni app. However Alexa doesn't read the group from the Geeni app. You have to group them in Alexa separately if you want to voice control groups
