Stylish touch to my smart home
I bought 6 of these to put in two kitchen lights that have 3 bulbs each. Although the the lights are next to each other they operate on different switches with one inconveniently in the back corner of the kitchen. Now when I say "Google turn on Kitchen " I am fully lit up. Plus I can put on any combination of the 6 at the brightness I want. The vintage look is a nice touch in my old lights.

A Smart house needs Smart bulbs and these WiZ compatible Philips bulbs add both style & function. Smart switches, outlets and appliances are not nearly enough; smart bulbs are required to make the smart house flexible enough to really take advantage of the capability. We've used many phone apps for various vendors' WiFi controlled bulbs, and we like the WiZ app the best. It's the easiest and most capable phone app for light bulb remote control we've tried. It has many very useful features internal use such as mood settings, wake-up, nightlight, fade to dark Sleep modes, etc. as well as the usual dimming capabilities. The set-up is super easy and, like all WiZ bulbs, it does not require a hub. Of course it can be used with one if you like, but a hub is not needed for the WiZ app, voice-activated assistants or IFTTT. We have voice-activated remote devices and pickups in most rooms in our house and this bulb integrated right in. We also love using IFTTT to have various events signal us so we set ours to perform varying functions as visual cues and alerts. This bulb can be used outside in a suitable fixture, as can several other Philips LED Wiz bulbs. These bulbs are pretty wide (over 3.5" wide), so it was important to make sure the fixture we planned to use was wide enough. Fortunately, we had a need for these in a multi-bulb fixture already using wide bulbs, so we were good to go. The beauty of these, and why smart switches are not enough, is that each one can be controlled independently. We really like the WiZ app and were delighted to find that we could use this Philips brand bulb with it (Many Philips are compatible only with the Philips Hue app - this bulb will not work with the Hue app). We highly recommend them

This is the first elegant smart bulb I have seen. The smarts all fit in the base out of sight. It works great. The app could use a few more features like sunset and sunrise triggers. I had to use IFTT.com to do that. I get a few false turn ons when the power goes out. I use this on my lamp post. We planted a vine that shades out the photosensor and needed a different way to trigger the light on and off. I received this 40-WATT EQUIVALENT G25 WIZ CONNECTED DIMMABLE WI-FI ENABLED SMART LED LIGHT BULB SOFT WHITE for free to write this review.

I've used several brands of smart bulbs and plugs and this one measures up. After a few hiccups in set up (finding device, linking to Alexa..),which seems to be the norm for these devices in my experience, I've got it all set up and it was fairly easy. From the app I can set up on/off schedules, adjust the brightness - including quick "nightlight" mode - and turn on and off. I'm using it on my nightstand so it's perfect to be able to turn it off with Alexa when I'm done reading. It is plenty bright enough for a reading lamp, and I love that I can dim my previously undimmable lamp.

Doesn’t work.
The bulbs won’t connect to wifi at all. Tried multiple times, app says they connect. But then can’t do anything, it just sits spinning trying to connect.

    The light itself is great. Controlled by an App. Alexa and Google Compatible Note: I had to bring my original purchase back as when I got home, it looked like the light but never acted light the light. After a close inspection, I took notice that my original purchase was not even a Philips Light. Someone had switched it and put a normal light that looked just like this one in the box. I don't want to encourage opening these, but for what it is, I check every light before I leave the store to make sure it is what it's supposed to be.

    Great price, I thought at first! I got it home and downloaded the Wiz app. I couldn't get my tablet to pair with the bulb. I downloaded the app on my phone and it took about fifteen minutes to pair. I wanted the WiFI for the dimming feature, and it provided nice mood lighting for a couple of nights. Pretty bulb. I woke up early in the morning, and the light had turned itself on. I used the app to turn it off, and it never came on again! I returned it and got a non-WiFi amber Edison bulb.

        Tough to pair, took several tries (20-30 minutes) work great when paired, more features than needed. Gets weird LED flicker at times across several bulbs, no discernible pattern to when happens.

              I couldn’t get it paired with my wifi no matter the steps I took. I tried several different options, and finally ended up buying a different bulb.

              Terrible product. Color is dark, very yellow / brown. Nothing authentic about it. Pairing is next to impossible. These are NOT the phillips Hue lights - they are a cheaper Phillips product sold only through Home Depot. I'm sure they will be discontinued soon.

                I was really amazed by this bulb. It is actually brighter than the similar incandescent 40 W bulb. I hadn't realized this could be controlled with my cell phone until I read the box. I downloaded the app to my phone and gave it a try. It is extremely easy to install and control the bulb from my phone. Fun purchase.

                Won't connect. Will be returning.
                I bought these because they had Philips in the name. i already have several have several Philips Hue bulbs These are nothing like those. They wouldn't connect to my network. They require a 2.4ghz network. My advice, spend a little more and get Philips Hue if you can. I will be.
