Light strip

It’s not that easy to set up but when you get done it’s worth it.


LOVE IT

I’ve had this in my L/R for a few weeks now and it’s great. I was able to create a nice vibe for a party/ gathering (pink lighting). And day to day, being able to adjust the undertone, level of brightness, etc is so convenient. great plus to my everyday experience. Highly recommend


Doesn’t work

I’m literally sitting here with the light on and the app cannot pick it up. I’ve unplugged and plugged in as well as uninstall the app. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I’m tired of trying.


Bluetooth Connection

issaratahhhh

I have been having trouble with connecting my light to the app. The instructions are very clear, which I have followed all. It keeps saying “device not found” even though it’s only a couple inches away from me.


Garbage. Rarely works.

Do not buy. Let me go into detail: Nearly any time my WiFi goes out the light switches no longer are smart and I have to set the switches back up from scratch. I have to factory reset them every time. Not only that, the Alexa skill just doesn’t work half of the time. Just cause. Today, while trying to troubleshoot the above issues, I can’t even sign into the app “login failed” “the request timed out” Hot. Garbage.


has trouble connecting to my plug

Hit or miss.

Final update: The lights will now turn on randomly in the middle of the night. I’m done with these lights. Couldn’t get a refund because I threw away the receipt. Definitely a mistake on my part so I’ll just eat the cost. Never again. Update: now I see all these people getting free bulbs in exchange for a positive review. Not buying this in the future. That’s shady. The lights work. But only when they want to. Initial setup was easy so that’s nice. I have 2 bulbs on either side of my bed on the night stands. For the longest time, only one would work even though they both turned on during initial setup. I tried swapping the bulbs and still no luck until one day I come home from work and boom, they both worked as intended. In the app you can “invite” someone to share access to your bulbs so they can control it as well. So far I’m the only one that can control the bulbs. We will be sitting next to each other and if I turn the lights on, they can’t turn them off. Their app just won’t connect to the bulbs. Even if they have access to my account. Lastly, when I get home and initially start up the app to turn on the lights, it doesn’t connect to the bulbs. I have to completely quit the app, restart it, and only then will they work. All in all, the lights DO work. But there are plenty of hoops to jump through. Part of me wishes I would have sprung for the Phillips hue bulbs because I have used those in the past and they were flawless beginning to end. But these were cheaper and I guess you get what you pay for.


Don’t buy

These lights work perfectly fine except I’ve tried for so long to connect them to the app and nothing works. For me it was a waste of time I’d rather have a remote for the lights because you don’t have to connect it.


Constantly telling me to turn on BT

houston sims

I get notifications constantly, when the app is CLOSED, telling me to turn on my bluetooth. Not only is this an invasion of my privacy, it’s bloody annoying. App works fine, but because of this I’m deleting if this continues.
