LUX 1050 75W Equivalent White A21 Smart LED Bulb

The Geeni LUX 1050 75W Equivalent White A21 Smart LED Bulb is a great addition to my slowly evolving smart home. This is my second Geeni product and I am becoming a fan of this company. This bulb helped me solve a problem at a fraction of what it could have cost. I live in a 60 year old home and not everything is wired as one would hope. When some genius decided to install a living room ceiling fan they decided to tie it into the same circuit as the light in the entry hall. That meant that if I wanted to use the fan or light in the living room, the hall light would be on. Since hiring an electrician to rewire the setup was way down the list of things to spend money on, for the three years I've lived in the house I have not had light bulbs screwed into my entry hall light. The Geeni LUX 1050 75W Equivalent White A21 Smart LED Bulb saved the day. Now I can finally have light in my entry hall controled via my smartphones and tablet, no expensive electrician required. Since I already had the app installed, because this is my second Geeni product, setup what super easy. I screwed in the light bulb, it started blinking, the app detected the bulb, I named the location, done. On, off, brightness, all controlled via the app. If I have to find something negative, my one and only gripe would be that the lowest dimming level is 10%. There are times I would like to leave the light on simply for navigation/mood lighting, and 10% still seems too much. Other than that, I highly recommend the bulb. No special hubs to buy; just a device that can run an app and wifi.

I unknowingly screwed this bulb into a lamp. All it did at first was FLASH on and off until I took it out. THEN I decided to read the instructions. Imagine that, a lightbulb that needs me to download an app to my smartphone before it will work. OK, I'm up for anything. So I got the app running (no small feat for an old guy like me). I doesn't do much. OK so I can turn the light on and off from my hotel room in Bali. So what? I've never EVER thought that was something I needed. I've lived on this planet 60 years and never once thought "If only I could turn that light on when I'm not there." Oh, and by the way, this app DRAINS my battery so much, I deleted it when I saw that happening. Save your money, save your time, get a regular lightbulb.

Geeni is super easy set up & Works with a App on a Smartphone or tablet The App allows you to set a schedule that allows your Geeni light to automatically turn on and off at times you prefer The Geeni App also allows you to choose the brightness and the coolness of your choosing. Simply screw in the Geeni lightbulb and it will continuously flash, download the App and tap "Light is Blinking Quickly" the App will find your Geeni and you then can set up your preference in a couple easy steps The only downside I have noticed with Geeni products is I am not able to use My Alexa or the Hue however the Geeni App allows you to control multiple bulbs, Geeni Plugs and the Geeni Camera. The 1050 lumen/10 watt Geeni light will cost you only $1.20 per year based on 3 hours a day

This is a good way to add a Smart function to a lamp, however there one issue I found annoying. Packaging - This bulb is well protected in its box, so it is doubtful that any damage would occur during shipping. Install and Setup - The physical installation is not different than any other light bulb and it is around the size of a large incandescent bulb such as a 3-way bulb. Install was fairly easy if you are aware of the fact that it will not work on the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band and only on 2.4 GHz. We have our Amazon devices and all of our other Smart home devices on the 5 GHz band so I could not figure out why this device would not install properly. I finally got it to install on the 2.4 GHz band of our router, but it took me a few minutes to realize why it couldn’t be seen by Alexa, and this was because all of our other Smart home devices, including our Echo, Tap, and a few other smart switches are running on the 5 GHz band. In order for this to work with Alexa I have to switch our Echo to the 2.4 GHz band along with ALL of our other smart devices, which is quite annoying to do. Impressions - For now I’ve been using it with the Android app and it seems to work well, the basic controls and timer and very straight forward and easy to use. If you want to set more complex timers or scenarios (such as basing time on sunset, sunrise) you can use the “scene” menu and I was very impressed by how many different triggers to you use such as temperature, weather, etc... I was also pleased by the range of color temperature I can choose as well as the brightness. This light dims down quite far and it is great to be able to go all the way from a nice cool color all the way to the warmth of an old fashion Edison bulb. Overall – This is a good smart bulb, I just think it needs to be stated that it only works on 2.4 GHz considering almost every Wi-Fi device I have bought in the past year, including all smart home devices will work on either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. I am however impressed by the color temperature range and the brightness range of this bulb as well as the features of the seemingly stable app.

I had the 60 Watts smart bulbs, but wanted something more brighter. This works. It links seamlessly with google home. I was able to group the lights to work together with the single switch. Only issue I have is, though I was subsequently able to change the name of the grouped bulbs in the Geeni app, it did not change it in the Google home app and it still remains with the former grouped name ( this is more the Geeni app software issue than the bulb. Unlike this app, Kasa app updates in google home promptly.).

This line of products are great until you want to select a different network. There is no way to change the network on the app. Per customer service each device has to be fogotten and added like a new device. Then another network can be selected. Now I have 8 devices to reprogram.

very good bulb so far. I love the ability to control the brightness and temperature ranges of this bulb

Easy to setup and use. I will order more Geeni products.
