Feit ElectricSmart WiFi LED 60W Equivalent Soft White (2700K) A19 Light Bulb, No Hub Required, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant (A800/827/AG)

I had a Feit color changing bulb with RF remote that I bought at Menards years ago (the white setting wasn’t very bright, but OK). It failed recently and I shopped Amazon for a replacement. This product (also Feit brand but with a much higher lumen and watt rating than my old one - meaning at least the white would be brighter) enticed me to spend an extra $5 or so for the WiFi/smart bulb, vs other manufacturer’s products that were RF remote instead of App enabled WiFi bulbs like the Feit color changer.This bulb works only on 2.4 ghz WiFi band. My router is set to intelligently switch between 2.4 and 5 ghz with one network name. I have had no problems connecting any new or old WiFi device I have to the network with these settings). Yet, I could not get the bulb to detect/connect with the app and my router on this router setting. I had to reprogram my router to separate 2.4 and 5 ghz bands (with different names for each) to connect the bulb (meaning I’d have to reconnect my myriad of WiFi enabled devices to one or the other of my now separate and separately named 2.4 and 5 ghz WiFi networks). Once I completed that task, the bulb easily connected to the 2.4 ghz network I created.However, upon doing all that work, and then playing with the bulb-controlling app, I found you can only set it to a static color, or white (note: there are different options/grades of white; from soft, to daylight, etc, which was nice, and the white was nicely bright in any white setting).My complaint is that unlike my old RF remote controlled Feit color changing bulb, this bulb did not have the option to set to an auto rotation of the colors so that it cycles through each color, fading from one to the next. I could pick from many different color gradients, but only one color at a time, even if I picked from the offered main ROYBGV offerings instead of customizing the color using the “120 color” gradient selection scale.Considering my old bulb could do this with a simple remote button push, it was clear that this bulb WOULD be capable of it, but the app doesn’t offer that as a setting option. Figuring I, perhaps, just wasn’t finding the right setting in the app, I called Feit customer service. My call was picked up quickly, and after explaining my question- can I set it to cycle through colors automatically- I was told I would be “transferred to that department” (what ever that means). After being left on hold for 10+ minutes (triggering my Amazon return process while waiting) only to be told what I already really knew (that it can’t), I hung up and returned it.Instead I bought another RF controlled bulb from another manufacturer (Sunnest), which DOES cycle through colors. I got that bulb today, and the white is plenty bright, much better than the bulb I was replacing. I can choose a static color, or three different modes of cycling through colors (a feature I use frequently), among other features, like, the two most recent colors, timers, and also many, many different static color variants (120, like the Feit WiFi color changing bulb, to be exact). It cost $5 less, and I’m very happy with the Sunnest bulb (Sunnest 120 color LED bulb) I replaced it with.PROS on the Feit WiFi color changing bulb: very bright white, with many options of white style; 120 different color settings to choose from using an app controlled gradient disk. Ability to control from anywhere (once connected, whether on your WiFi or not): options like turning on or off, dimming (white only), scheduling on/off, and choosing color/white - all from your phone or an authorized friend/family member’s phone.Cons: inability to connect to a smart switching 2.4/5ghz WiFi router, thus necessitating the need to reprogram router to split bands and redo all other WiFi devices to connect to one or the other band; inability to set bulb to automatically cycle through colors; poor customer service from product manufacturer.If color cycling isn’t a desired feature for you, and you only have a 2.4 ghz WiFi router, already have them split, or don’t mind reprogramming a router and all your other WiFi devices and choosing manually which band you want those devices to connect to, then by all means, buy this. Otherwise, choose an option with an RF remote, or go way more expensive and spend $100+ (being very conservative here) on a kit that requires a smart home hub, like the Phillp’s smart bulb kit.

Although this product has the potential to be a great value, it still has a long way to come. Initial setup is a breeze; the difficulty, however, is that you have to keep going through the intial setup. After installing the lights, which is as easy as replacing a lightbulb, you download the FEIT Electric app to finish the job. The difficulty is that you have to keep reinstalling the lights and when the lights become “uninstalled” they flash in a manner that is sure to give any one predisposed to seizures, a siezure.

If anyone uses the light switch in your home instead of the Feit App to control the lights, you have to reinstall the lights intermittently. This is completely unrealistic for anyone who does not live alone and/or doesn't have their cellphone attached to them 24 hours a day.The bulbs are great when they work, but are extremely stress-inducing when you walk into your home, turn the light switch on to be met with chaotic, strobe lights until you can gain your wits about you and reinstall them again. And by reinstall, this means you have to recreate any groups you may have created to control multiple lights/zones at once, and you have to re-share the lights with anyone else in your home like my husband in this case.This is unacceptable for when we have visitors and we are not in the home to reinstall.

I was really excited to try these. I wouldn’t buy them again. Only 2/4 of them seem to be discoverable at any one time. I purchased them to go with My echo spot and it can never operate all of them at once due to this. The colors are nice, but not very bright when in the colored mode. Good for a night light or very low light situation. When in white mode, it is a nice white.

I had been debating on what kind of smart bulbs I wanted to use in my home and then I stumbled upon these bulbs. Compared to most A19 bulbs they are cheaper and have a lot more features.There is a little instruction booklet that comes with each bulb and it makes setup a breeze. The main thing to note is that you will need to download the FEIT Electric app for your smart device and create an account which is very simple. From there you install a bulb turn it on and perform a quick setup to connect to it. Once the bulb is connected you can rename it to anything you would like and start to manage the plethora of settings which ranges from a variety of white choices to a variety of colors. They are also having a dimming feature that you can use with any color you choose.I have several Echo devices in my home, all I had to do was open the Alexa app go to skills search for Feit electric and link my account. From there you are able to search for new devices and it found the bulbs without any issues.I am purchasing more of these to finish my house and would highly recommend these bulbs to anybody that is in the market for smart bulbs and home automation.

App barely works. Never connects. Returning.

I bought these after returning several other brands due to lack of brightness plus the unnecessarily large size of the lights. Have had for a couple of weeks without any problems. No hub required, 800 lumens, and tunable white are all great features. The only complaint I have is the lack of configurable "scenes" in the app (which is the reason I gave it 4 stars) as compared with some other brands. But that being said, I would buy these again over the other lights I had received prior. Great smart bulbs!

Funciona bien con Alexa, eso si hay que descargar la aplicación para poder usar la skill y en mi caso que soy de México hay que cambiar la cuenta de amazon.com.mx a amazon.com para poder descargar la skill, una vez descarga y configurada puedes regresar a Amazon.com.mxActualizado al 08/05/2020Se des-configuran sin razón aparente y es algo problemático que vuelvan a funcionar, razón por la cual cambio la calificación

Its a cool concept for when I don’t want to get out of my bed to turn off my lights but this orangey colour hurts my eyes and has this burning smell when it’s on.. I thought it would be a white light which was disappointing so I’ll be returning it

Los compre pensando ponerlo en la cochera y batalle para sincronizarlos y para emparejarlos (2) al fin lo hice y si por algún motivo alguien apaga el foco (siempre debe de estar encendido) se desconfigura y hay que volver hacerlo, lo mismo que al fallar la señal, lo recomiendo si su señal y alcance es bueno de su WiFi

Faut le configurer a la lumiere qui clignotte lentement il pêut s'allumer a l'heure qui vous tente et peut faire la meme chose pour s'eteindre vous permet d'economiser beaucoup d'électricite ca fini par se payer de lui meme .

I love this bulb. Both my son and I have one. He likes that it can change to whatever colour you want and I like that I can turn it on and off easily. I use both the app and Alexa.
