LIFX SuperColor A19 800 Lumens

These bulbs certainly delivered on their promises, with very vibrant colors and very good white temperatures too. The process of pairing is a bit unusual, each bulb creates a temporary local wifi network and you have to pair them using that, but I figured out how to pair them and they work flawlessly! They also have seamless integration into home assistant, do a great job at lighting up the entire room, and 1% brightness can get really dim for a nice night light setting that won’t disturb sleep. Easily one of the best smart bulbs out there.

I have read the reviews and I see that some people hate these bulbs but I must say that these are the best bulbs that I have had. They are rock solid and they work exceptionally well with Alexa and our Amazon Home. The quality of the bulbs can't be beaten. Now, what are some of the downfalls of LIFX? Well as some have commented, getting the bulb to connect to wifi and subsequently Alexa is a little more involved than most light bulbs but to me, it wasn't crazy or insurmountable, and once connected, the connection is flawless and reliable. The thing is that you have to scan a QR code for each light and go through the setup process individually for each light which can seem like a hassle but it's really not (it's just not instant gratification right out of the box). To me, that's the biggest issue if you can even call it an issue. The lights are expensive but get what you pay for. They work great, the color range is incredible. I have tried other brands and nothing compares. I can tell Alexa to do virtually anything with those lights and it's done. There are no connectivity issues ...I mean none!!! If you can afford it....I would get these lights. I know you will be satisfied and I believe the value will be worth the cost. I'm not wealthy or have money to just through around on light bulbs but it is my belief that these will last me a long time with minimal upkeep and hassle.

The LIFX Color A19 bulbs are impressive with their bright 800 lumens output and full RGB color-changing capability. Once set up, they’re incredibly fun and versatile—you can control them from your smartphone, set schedules, create scenes, and even sync them with music or other smart home devices. The colors are vibrant, and the whites range from warm to cool tones, making them perfect for any mood or occasion. I especially love how responsive they are when using voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant. The only downside was the initial setup. Connecting to Wi-Fi and pairing with the app took a few tries, which was a little frustrating. Once connected, though, they’ve been rock solid with no dropouts. Overall, these are fantastic smart bulbs with lots of features and excellent performance—just be patient during the first setup.

I currently use around 14 LIFX Color A19 bulbs throughout my home, which perform admirably in terms of lighting and color versatility. However, I've encountered some issues with the accompanying application. Specifically, when attempting to control and organize multiple bulbs within the app, I've noticed that the bulbs in my living room occasionally vanish and reappear unpredictably. This intermittent recognition can be disruptive when trying to manage the lighting ambiance of my house seamlessly.

I've tried a bunch of "Smart" bulbs and these are by far the best. The app is fantastic and the response is very fast. I've set up schedules, and linked to my Google Home. The set up is much easier that other Smart bulbs but does need a cell phone and Wifi. Some of the bulbs i have are over 8 years old and still working, which is unheard of for LED bulbs, most go bad in a few years. The color spectrum is almost infinite and they are much brighter that most color bulbs. I'm slowly replacing all the bulbs in my house with these.

Easiest lights I’ve ever bought to set up. Works well with Apple HomeKit, doesn’t give me issues and works like a charm

I ordered this LIFX product because they advertise ease of set up and great functionality. This couldn't be further from the truth. I was not able to get the light to connect to my WIFI so I went through all of the help topics on their site. None of the solutions resolved my connectivity issue so I reached out to the LIFX Customer Support Department, which you can only (conveniently for them) contact by email. I informed the service tech that I was unable to get the light to connect and had worked through the help topics on the site. This is where everything started to go bad. The customer service from LIFX is atrocious. It takes anywhere from 3-5 days to get a response to every email and the service techs apparently don't read the emails sent to them. The service tech I was dealing with, Felipe C., started by sending me instructions on how to repeat the exact same steps from the help topics on the site. So it had to move through the same steps even though I repeatedly told him I had tried them, only this time I had to do it over a period of weeks because I was continually waiting for responses from them. The light still failed to connect even after multiple attempts so I asked for a warranty replacement. Felipe asked that I provide various pieces of information regarding the light, including my receipt of purchase, and the light's serial and lot numbers, which he claimed would be printed on the light bulb. My bulb did not have a serial and lot number but it did have a model number that corresponded with the model I bought and I informed Felipe of that, which I didn't think was odd because Felipe also claimed that the light should have a HomeKit code printed on it and it didn't have that either. The website states that older lights without HomeKit codes are still being sold so I thought it reasonable that an older light would also not have serial and lot numbers printed on them. Felipe's response was that I had not purchased a LIFX product and that they would not be able to warranty the light. This response floored me because the product was shipped and sold by Amazon, I had a receipt, the light had a model number printed on it that corresponded with the model that I bought, and the product came in untampered with LIFX packaging. Felipe of course was not able to articulate to me how this could have happened and seemingly did not care that it seems so far fetched. I was already past the 30-day Amazon return window because it had taken so long to work through the customer service process but Felipe and LIFX did not care and thrust the whole situation back on Amazon to resolve. Thankfully Amazon is a much better company than LIFX and Amazon stood behind its sale and provided me a refund even though I was outside the 30-day window. Anyone considering LIFX products should be extremely wary because LIFX apparently does not stand behind its products and will not be there to make things right when their products malfunction or do not work properly.

I use a Linux desktop as my daily driver. This review and my rating of the LIFX light bulbs is mostly concerned with that... using them with Linux. I was pretty delighted to learn after installing them, I could ping them directly over wifi. You *can* use them with a cloud based home automation system, but my net connection is pretty flaky, so I *LOVE* that I can ping them directly. I was able to find a node.js package that did most of the heavy lifting and provided a simple API to turn them on, turn them off and change their colour. I *think* it can also setup animations, but I'm not really into that. I saw a reference to a python package, but I don't do python anymore. I was able to find the docs (they're not perfect, but they're good enough) so I'll probably add a Janet or Clojure package... cause... you know... lisp. The don't seem to be the brightest bulbs I've seen, but they're good enough for my living room. You might be sad if you tried to light a 14' x 28' condo with just two bulbs. I would say go with 6 because blue and purple seemed to be dimmer than green and red. That might be a feature of human colour perception or maybe it's the LEDs in the bulb. But when I tried out my Commodore 64 colour scheme, the cyan was MUCH brighter than the blue. I would love it if these things were a bit cheaper, but they're cheap enough that I bought a few. I rated "value for money" at four stars. I'm happy with the purchase and definitely don't feel like I was ripped off. So... if you're a Linux person and you want to do coloured light bulbs like all your iProduct friends, these are great. If you grok node or bash, it's pretty straight forward to make them change color at a certain time of day, when your spouse emails you or the CI/CD pipeline stalls (again.)

Arrived much before time. Good quality bulbs. Bought them for the broad colour temperature range which looks awesome. So far no connection issues. Thanks !!

A diferencia de otros focos, este no se desvincula cuando hay cortes de luz o de Wifi. Me funciona perfecto con Apple HomeKit y aunque es más grande que el promedio, cabe sin problemas en lámparas y ventiladores.

LIFX Product is Supreme. Every colour you want and the control right on your phone.

Durable, App could be a little more intuitive and better designed though

Es una verdadera joya cuando lo usas con Alexa, leí a cerca de los Philips que Necesitan aditamentos para poder funcionar, este producto no lo necesita y es que l calidad de manufactura es muy superior y notable, no por que sean alemanes pero de verdad es muy buena la Variedad de colores y la capacidad de brillo que tienen.
