in less than a minute if you are already logged in and trusted in the app are. The colors are great and the bulb is very bright (although I turned it off for the backlight in this video). They can change multiple colors and pulsate/flash. You can even set multiple lights to different colors. The light works the same as any other Lumiman I've used in the past and it's not a problem. They are very well positioned. They work flawlessly with Google/Alexa or control it from your phone or both!
