I don't understand why they have such a high rating. Many users are right that these lights are EXTREMELY difficult to activate. I'd avoid those WiFi connection lights and stick with Bluetooth, and here's why: When I bought my first two Echo points, they came with Sengled lights, which I don't recall having any activation issues. Fast forward over a year later and in my new home I wanted more Alexa controlled lightbulbs. I saw them and thought they were the same as the ones I already had. NOT CORRECT! My god, that was such a hassle! Initially they are not recognized by the Alexa app so I had to sign up for a Sengled account but even THAT account didn't recognize the bulb. I can't even remember the exact sequence that allowed me to activate the first lightbulb, but I ended up using the Alexa app which eventually connected to the Sengled app and activated the 1st lightbulb. Cool! So I tried to reproduce this process for the second lightbulb but without the dice! Unlike the first bulb, the SECOND bulb led me to connect my Wi-Fi to some sort of Sengled WiFi account, but then it still wouldn't connect. I kept logging in and out of the Sengled and Alexa apps, turning the lightbulb off and on, and I still can't remember EXACTLY what steps made it possible to connect the second lightbulb. Unfortunately I still have to activate TWO lightbulbs. While I'm no expert, I'm no newbie to technology either. So I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who isn't very tech savvy. Based on my experience with my first two bulbs versus these new bulbs, I would suggest buying the BLUETOOTH version instead of the Wifi version. These bulbs connect and work, although I haven't used them normally yet. And I don't know if the fact that it's WiFi affects WiFi connectivity to other devices in my house. It could be one of those things that requires a hub. Again, based on this experience, stick with BLUETOOTH bulbs.
