Review on 🌈 LIFX Color 800Lm Edison Screw: Brilliant Smart Lighting for a Vibrant Ambiance by Kevin Mitchell

I love these lights!

I really like these lights. I had trouble installing the first three bulbs, but it was more of an issue for them to interact with the app and HomeKit. After figuring out what I was doing wrong, the rest of the install went fine. The light control via app is simple, but usually not precise; This means that when I want to turn on the ceiling fan in the bedroom, the bedside lamp usually goes on as well. The same goes for bedroom lighting and dining room lighting; When you turn on one device, it often turns on another. But I think it probably has more to do with Wi-Fi channels than the app itself. You can also control individual lights with Siri. Finally, these lights are nice and bright when I need them 100%. I would like the lowest brightness setting to be a bit dimmer, but that's negligible to me. As for the app, I wish the instructions were clearer. For example, if you want to set a scene, you first select the desired colors and then assign them as a scene with its own name. The documentation doesn't mention this so I wanted to jump into scenes first and figured I could create them from there. Also, there are things like "fade out" or setting the scene to a specific amount of time and I don't quite understand how to set them up. Still, I like these lights so much that I don't really care about these issues. Playing with the themes and effects from the app is a lot of fun and I intend to install more of these lights to experience even more of them. Before I forget, I had to return one of the bulbs and the process could not be completed. Always with Tranquillity. I soon had a replacement and I was ready to go!
