Perfect for the Early Riser
My job has no set hours, so I can sometimes be waking up at 4am or working overnight starting at 10pm. I was starting to get so used to the snooze button that I was always rushing to get ready despite adding alarms to go off every 2 minutes. I thought what else can I do to possibly wake me up? ... Flood my room with light! Having a timer set on these lights is perfect for me. I set them to wake me up gradually to 100% brightness and it works! The dimming isn’t totally fluid when changing it in the moment, but it doesn’t bother me personally. The installation was so simple and the app is very user friendly down to even naming your lightbulbs. I never thought I wanted a “smart house” but this could be the beginning! I saw some negative reviews concerning the app, but so far for me I have not had a problem. I also have not tried to use any other home device like Google Home with it. I received this product complimentary for review purposes from Influenster, however all opinions are entirely my own.

Works great with Alexa.
I own probably about 50 bulbs, and switches total plus the Sol, and C-Reach smart bridge. Once I switched everything from Google Home to Alexa and didn’t have to deal with constant disconnects, I really started to enjoy my devices. Full Color bulbs are fantastic and the color impressive. Smart switches work well and look sharp. The smart switches and plugs connect to WiFi so they work as a hub for your lights. I’d say I’ve had it all set up for 6 months or more without any real issues other than the occasional app update where a bulb here or there may disconnect, but that happens with most smart home products when their app is updated. To fix it, I just had to reset the bulb again so it would be discovered and I added it back. Took 2 minutes. App is extremely user friendly and walks you through the setup. Only bad thing is now I want to replace all my bulbs with the new full color bulb.

Very convenient!
These light bulbs have been such a hit in my living room. Every time me and my boyfriend are laying on the couch getting ready to watch a movie we don’t have to play Rock Paper Scissors on who is getting up to turn the lights off anymore I can just open the app and boom they’re off. I love the fact that we can dim them also, sometimes we don’t want them off completely and this is perfect, we didn’t need to have the light switch to dim installed which can be costly instead we have these GE smart bulbs to do the trick. So far the app has run perfectly and I have had no issues. Can still use the switch to turn them off as well but need to turn switch back on before can control them again. Overall I love the bulbs and am so glad I am able to try them out complimentary. Definitely plan on buying them for my bedroom as well!
