Customer Reviews for Globe Electric Wi-Fi Smart 60W Equivalent Color Changing RBG Tunable White LED Light Bulb, No Hub Required, A19, E26 (2-Pack)

I bought three of these for a room with fan eiyh three lihts. I can sync to the app one bulb. The other two will not sync at all. Waste of money.

I am impressed with the geeni products so far. I have a mix of different Wi-Fi bulbs from different manufacturers and I’ve had issues with ALL of them except the geeni bulbs so far. They I have a few of their plugs and an outdoor switch and they have all worked flawlessly for the past few years. Happy with the price and happy with the product line thanks!!

Very easy set up, I didn't have any trouble syncing to my phone and also pairing with my Alexa. It's very responsive to commands, I didn't notice any lag really. The colors are very bright which is nice, but I mainly use it for white light. I love that it is dimmable as not all smart bulbs are and honestly that's where I get the most use out of them. I have them in my living room on a floor lamp and it's nice being able to dim them while I watch tv.

I have many different brands of smart lights in my home and these work just as good as any of them. They are responsive to voice commands and turn lights on and off without any delay. These particular bulbs are attractive because they do not require any additional hub to work. You can tell Alexa to "Make your lights warm" (or cool) or "make your lights warmer" and it works well. You can do the same thing to dim or brighten your lights and turn them on or off. You can do the same things with the app remotely. The bulbs are also rated for damp locations so there shouldn't be any problems using these in a bathroom. Overall, I am pleased with the quality of the lights and app.

Smart bulbs are necessities in a smart home and these Globe Electric bulbs are excellent components in our system. All the key features are supported for situations that don't demand color. The bulbs are tunable in temperature, which is really handy in places like our master bedroom where there are times when we want a bright light for work or cleaning, and other times, a softer light for reading or television watching. Of course dimming is supported. The bulbs, like many (most?) smart bulbs, does not require a hub and the available Globe app is very useful and intuitive, but lacks some features of other smart bulb apps like "Bedtime" settings, and the like. Still, quite capable and good.. Use with a voice-activated assistant is mandatory for any smart bulb and the Globe bulbs are supported by all the devices we have. We have grouped these in Alexa groups with other manufacturers' bulbs and they perform exactly as expected. They respond to group commands along with the other bulbs and work in Alexa routines very nicely. The bulbs also support IFTTT which we find very useful to allow us to create various alerts like the arrival of ride-sharing services or other events that may require a visual cue. The lamps indicate that they are suitable for damp locations which should make them useful on patios and porches as long as they are not subjected to direct water. Like all the other smart bulbs I've tried, these cannot be used with a dimmer. We're very pleased with these bulbs and highly recommend them.

The Globe Electric, WI-FI smart, 16-watt (60-watt equivalent), LED, soft white bulb is a useful addition for our home. I was very apprehensive about how hard it might be to set up these bulbs to perform their functions, but my fears were unfounded as it was very easy and only took about 15 minutes. First, you download the Globe App. on your I-Phone from Google or App. Store. Second, register and log in. Third, add in the devices (in this case the two bulbs) and you are finished. Now, you can remotely turn your lights on or off, program them to automatically turn on/off at certain times and days or when at home use Alexa or Google commands to do the same thing. The bulbs are very bright and easy on your electric bill at only 16 watts. You can even dim them without needing a dimming switch. As an older guy, I am amazed at today’s technology and how convenient it is. I recommend you try out these bulbs and will find them useful.

I now have wifi smart bulbs from six different brands in my home, so my basis for comparison is reasonably broad. First note - don't mix and match brands unless you plan to control them all through a smart home app like Alexa or Google Home - otherwise you will go nuts trying to remember which app controls which bulb. I use Alexa, so it was simply a matter of setting up the first bulb, adding the capability to Alexa, and presto - one-app control of multiple different bulbs. First things first: setup. Read the quick start guide - they key points are (1) make sure your phone or tablet or whatever is using a 2.4GHz wifi network (not 5GHz), and (2) load & start the app before turning on the bulb for the first time. The app will ask you twice for permission to use location services. If you refuse, you will have to type in the wifi network name. This almost caused me to lower my rating by a star or two - I'm always wary of "cloud apps" that want more and more private information. But, as I won't be using the app except for setup, no big deal. How's it work as a light bulb? Pretty well - it's on the bright side for a "60W-rated" bulb, especially at the 5000K setting. The color range is from very 'warm' (2000K or so) to practically pure white (5000K or so).

Globe Smart LED Bulbs provide an effective and easy way to control indoor lighting very precisely, even if you are away from home. Globe Suite, their free smartphone app, will synchronize the smart bulbs to run through your home/office WiFi, and expand the capabilities of your smartphone to include remote control lighting of Globe's Smart Bulbs. The bulbs are compatible with both Alexa and Google Assistant, plus the Globe Suite app will coordinate with them to create the perfect scenarios for your personal lighting needs. Dimming of the Globe Smart Bulbs is possible now, and without the need to install dimmer switches. Super simple ! I love the relaxed ambience from the LED bulbs warm, white color and dimming of lights. It's so nice.

These were very similar to another smart bulb I recently reviewed that also didn't require a hub. They were easy to set up, which took about 20 minutes total. You have to download the specific app, register for the app, add the lights so that they are recognized and then go to your Alexa app (for Echo users) to enable the skill...which links to the app you downloaded and registered for. You can also group multiple lights in the Alexa app to be controlled with one command. No hub is required. The advantage these had over the other brand was that you can change the color temperature in the app or by Alexa voice. The only problem that both brands share is that the light is not very bright when switching to color. They're good as accent lighting, but not bright enough to illuminate an entire room when used as color bulb. They look like any other bulb when used as white. The work really well and look nice though, so I give them two thumbs up.

Set up of these WiFi smart light bulbs was so easy. I downloaded the GLOBE SUITE app per the simple instructions that came in the packaging, screwed in the bulb, and then followed the directions. The system required that my mobile devise be connected to a 2.4 GHz WiFi channel, but this was no problem. Most routers are now dual band. The directions come with both a website and phone number if assistance is needed, but like the directions state, “If you can screw in a bulb you can set up smart lights.” I like the fact that I can turn lights on from anywhere when I’m not home, or simple turn the light on in a room from inside my house instead of stumbling and feeling my way toward a fixture. I put one bulb in the lamp by my bed and the other by the couch in the living room. With the app, I can select which bulb I want to turn off, select the brightness, and have them go on/off at different times each day. Each bulb may be set up to different specifications. The smart bulbs may also be controlled through voice assistance via integration with Google or Alexa through the GLOBE SUITE app. Pretty cool!

Wi-Fi Smart 60W Equivalent Tunable White Dimmable Frosted LED Light Bulb, No Hub Required, A19, E26 Base Since I’ve developed a bad knee, I find these wi-fi smart bulbs a lifesaver! Through my Alexa, I can turn off the lights without having to run up and down stairs, adding to my knee pain. The versatility is unbelievable! I can control the intensity, as well as the color of the light. I used to worry I had left on some lights on in my rush to get to work, but no more. I can program the lights individually, to make it seem like someone is home, without using a bunch of individual timers. The set up was easy for me, and I am not anything close to a techie !!

I recently upgraded to Bell 5G and my Globe bulbs will not sinc. i am using the 2.4 Ghz setting. Are the bulbs obsolete?

Unbelievably difficult to program... Bought 5 of them and ended up throwing them out.. Very disappointed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a fan of Globe products! This smart bulb is no exception. I find the app control and setup to be very easy. Obviously I can't comment on the longevity, but I have never had a Globe product that died prematurely. This bulb is a fantastic choice to upgrade your smart home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Globe Electric - Wi-Fi Smart 10 Watt (60W Equivalent) Multicolor Changing RGB Tunable White Frosted LED Light Bulb, No Hub Required, Voice Activated, 2000K - 5000K, A19 Shape, E26 Base for review. It was really simple to hook up and use. My 13 year old hooked up to her desk lamp and uses it as a night light.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loves these. He put one in his bedroom and one in his game room. He has led light strips around both of his rooms and these bulbs are the perfect addition to them. They have really cool colors and work great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a pack of these smart light bulbs and was really excited to use them in my room. I really like the idea of being able to control them from my phone and change the colors or the brightness. Once you get them working their great but getting them working is a chore. I tried several different lamps and could only get them to work on two. I don't think it was the bulb but more the lamp but I wasn't able to figure out what. Once the bulbs are installed and linked up with the app, they work fine. They only desync from the app when the lamp is unplugged or it loses power. The colors are great and I love being about to lower the brightness, makes reading easier. Over all, they are great bulbs, just make sure they work with the lamps you got. 100% recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a huge fan of smart light bulbs. This was so easy to set up, and I love the options. The color options make it a great choice for a child's bedroom. This would be perfect for any quick room makeover. You don't need to commit to a color.

These Smart bulbs work great. They are very easy to set up and work as stated.

Easy to set up. Link immediately.

These light bubs were not what I needed for a desk lamp!

We bought these for our house, and while I was a little hesitant, due to the price, we went ahead and got them. They only work on 2.5 Ghz, not 5.0, which was fine for us. Two of the lightbulbs we bought refused to connect, but all the rest of them connected perfectly. We absolutely love the color changing options and the different white light options. We previously had color changing bulbs with remotes, but the remote batteries died and you were stuck with whatever shade of white that the particular bulb gave you, which made getting the house to look uniform quite difficult. I highly recommend these bulbs, and would have marked it 5 stars if it hadn't been for the two that refused to connect.

doesn't work with my router.

Did not even work have to return the item !!!

The light bulbs I bought did not work. Despite multiple attempts to get it to connect to my phone or even follow instructions to set the bulb to connect it did not work. I even returned the lamp itself back thinking it was defective since the little light switch did not turn the bulb off. (Layer found out from speaking to a Globe rep, the light switch on it is not meant to anything...negative the question, then why is it on there?). I ended up getting a new lamp set and tried the same bulbs but same problem. Anyways, I ended up returning the Globe Electric bulbs and instead got Phillips Hue bulbs. Those work much much better, had no issues connecting to my phone either. I hope Globe electric can work on improving their app or connecting issues in the future. I did contact them for assistance but it sort of fell through and I decided to try a different light bulb brand anyways. Until the connection issue is resolved, I would recommend a different brand at this time.

Arrived ahead of schedule. Once the app was figured out, a tiny bit unfriendly, light works beautifully.

I love these lightbulbs. Many color options and for a good price.

I’ve had to sync them every single time i used them. Very annoying, and will not sync anymore

It didn’t work even if the WiFi. I would recommend one with the hub
