Feit Electric BR30 Smart Flood Light Bulb

I have an older model town home with light switches placed in the most random / inconvenient places. So I decided to try these and this is the best decision ever. I can make light groups to control the lights together and turn them on / off with one click from my phone. I got my bedroom together now I'm going to put these throughout my entire home. Great product. The app pairing didn't go 100% smoothly especially with creating groups but I got it eventually.

Excellent lights for holiday and everyday use. I'm using them to program different light patterns outside during each holiday of the year. It's fun and easy to set up and adjust. I'm looking forward to trying different shades, patterns and combinations. Great for my outdoor use. Between holidays, I just have it be plain white outside lighting, but it's fund to have the variety. Cheap and easy way to decorate and set the moods with lighting.

The lights were easy to set up, and the app works well. Something like Phillips Hue may have more features, but you're also paying more for it. These are great budget friendly alternatives. My only complaints, and why I can't give five stars, is the Alexa integration. Within the app, I can set effects such as strobe, or have the bulbs change from one color to the next at my desired speed. However, even though I can say things like, "Alexa, set all light to blue." I cannot say, "Alexa, turn on strobe." I emailed Feit about this, hoping I was just using the wrong commands, and they replied saying it wasn't a feature. Also, some smart bulbs out there, including these, have an issue with Alexa routines in terms of setting brightness. The colors tend to not respond. For those who don't know, when setting a routine action, you select smart home, the bulb you want to respond, and are giving three things: turn on/off, set brightness, and change color. At first I would make sure the brightness setting was checked, and set bulb to 100% brightness. However, the bulb will often not respond to the change color step. If I had a routine that set all lights to red, one or more bulbs will not change at all. You have to UNCHECK the brightness setting. A small hassle because if you previously had dimmed lights, you have to take an extra step to adjust the lights to full brightness with another command.

These units lose WiFi connectivity within 24 hours... Everything works well when first installed, using the FEIT app and connected to Alexa. However, within the day, the units lose WiFi connectivity, and I get a message that they're OFFLINE on the app. I need to manually turn the light switch on/off to reset it so it reconnects to WiFi. Having to constantly reset the light switch manually defeats the entire purpose of having a WiFi-enabled bulb... I do not recommend this product.

Did the job. Used for outdoors Christmas decor. The green made the colors look good.

Feit Electric is a reliable brand and does work with Alexa as well as the Feit App. I Bought another brand previously that no longer works with Alexa Skills and I had to discard them.

The bulb is fine as a light bulb, but I assume that if you buy a BR30 light bulb, it will go into a recessed unit. Well, the problem is that most recessed units are made of some type of metal, and they may even have a second layer of metal from the trim. Guess what happens if you have a cheapo wi-fi radio surrounded by two layers of metals? Yeah, the signal sucks. The bulb works fine outside the can, but inside the can the signal vanishes (from about -88 Db to non-existent) Maybe some people have plastic cans, or have the can within feet of their router. But for most of us, this is just a bad idea that can only end in frustration.

I love these light bulbs. I can leave my switch on and control each light bulb. So I can leave one light on and turn off all the rest. I have been playing with the different colors. But I love syncing it up with my music and the lights bulbs are strobing with the music. I also hooked up to my Alexa device and it makes it fun to watch movies and concerts. Glad I bought these lights bulbs .
