Soft White A19 LED 60W Equivalent Dimmable Smart Wi-Fi Wiz Connected Wireless Light Bulb

I did a test of power usage for these lights. And with 5 lights running on schedule of living room 4pm-1am bedrooms 4hr window it would cost~$5 a year to run these lights with avg .07kWh in a 24h window

I recently replaced every single lightbulb in my apartment with the Philips WiZ color bulbs and I LOVE THEM. I feel like a lot of people don’t know about them but I wish it was more popular, because they work beautifully and the price point CANNOT be beat. They deserve to be more widely used and known. I never cared for color-changing lights, but when the pandemic hit, I had just moved in with a friend who had them in his living room. He installed them in fall of 2019, and they still work great. I couldn’t believe how much I loved them. I downloaded the app where he added me as a guest, and they were so much fun to change up. Some of the preset color schemes are kind of useless or repetitive (like Forest, Jungle, and Mojoto - all three are essentially green) but some of them are pretty great (notably Sunset, Deep Sea, and Romance (poorly named, it’s just a nice light color scheme). I loved being able to have bright lights when working or cleaning, dim blue for watching TV, and sometimes even red because why not. I moved into a new apartment a month ago and told him I’d miss the lights, but that I don’t have that kind of money (because I know Hue bulbs are $50 a bulb, which REQUIRES the use of a $100 hub). He explained they weren’t Philips Hue lights but Philips WIZ, and that they were super affordable and I was THRILLED. I got 8 (yes EIGHT) color changing light bulbs, and 2 soft white edison-type globe bulbs ALL for under $140. I think the WiZ app is fantastic, and they respond INSTANTLY. I’ve read elsewhere that not having a hub means they respond faster, so maybe that’s why. I love the Wiz light bulbs so much that I even bought 2 not-so-affordable (for me) light strips from a different warehouse-type store which were $50 each. Not thrilled about that price but HOLY CRAP I love the light strips even more. I initially got one for a hallway that has no light, and the other for under the counter, but now I want them everywhere. One light strip produces SO MUCH LIGHT it’s amazing, almost too much - so I guess they aren’t overpriced. It’s just a bit of sticker shock compared to $12.97 for a full color range A19 bulb. Lastly, I’ll add that I’m using them with my crappy Spectrum modem that combines 2.4

Got this to use up a HD store credit. I am glad I did. It works very similar to the more expensive Philips HUE bulbs that require the hub. These bulbs are WIZ protocal (Philips purchased the WIZ firm) and need no hub; only install the app on a smart phone and control them with that. If you also have Alexa smart speakers link the WIZ skill to the Alexa app and control them also with voice commands (you need to name each bulb or create groups to place more than one bulb into a named group to control more than one at once) The light goes from very white light to soft white and millions of shades of colors and brightness levels. And they only use 9 watts for the 800 lumens when the bright white mode or the soft white mode.

Excellent choice over the pricey smart lights from other brands .... setup was just few clicks and done, turn your house into a disco

Works as described. love the color combinations possible, and the fact that these bulbs are much cheaper than philips hue. Love the tunable white options, I could go all the way from a warm white to bright daylight. The fact that they do not need a hue bridge is great, although that may be a dealbreaker for someone already invested in thee Hue ecosystem. I like that on turning off and on the hardware electric switch, the bulbs remember their previous brightness and color. The Wiz app works nicely with the bulbs to set colors and brightness. Unfortunate there is no hardware dimmer / remote switch like the one's for philips hue. But if you do not have to regularly change the brightness / color settings, the iOS app works perfectly fine.

As someone who has quite a few of the Phillips Hue lights throughout my house I was really excited to try out this more affordable smart bulb by Phillips. The colors and scenes are awesome. They work with Alexa (I can’t say how the integration goes for the other units like Google). I can control the lights from the app anywhere in the house which is nice especially if I forgot to turn a light off before bed. I will say that I do wish they were all on the same app as the Hue so I wouldn’t have to switch so much to get lights on and turned to colors I want. The most annoying thing about these bulbs is it takes a hot minute for them to become active on the app in order to turn them on and change them up through the app. This is probably because of the communication lag between the bulbs and the WiFi and the WiFi and the app. The Hue show up almost immediately for use but these...it makes a minute. Once they are available they are great. For the price, it’s a great way to get some smart colorful lighting in your house.

This bulb is very easy to setup with your home system and has a variety of themes to choose from. The only down side is that Google and Siri don't know those themes so you have to use the app. That being said, they can be very bright and work well as night lights. The away/vacation feature turns the lights on and off (you need multiple lights) around the house as if you were home.

Easy to set up and use ... Connected easily to my Google home network after setup.

Nice bulbs but a little to high

Love these bulbs, but they're a little pricey
