LotusLanternX Reviews

by Farashupti

I love the lights but this review is just for LotusLanternX . The lights work perfectly fine. However. LotusLanternX only worked for two days and somehow the Bluetooth got disconnected and now it won’t reconnect. I deleted LotusLanternX and I kept the box. So I scanned LotusLanternX again and downloaded again many times but nothing seemed to work. I’m very disappointed because the remote is very limited and I preferred using LotusLanternX . I liked mixing colors which you can’t do with the remote at all. For instance, I liked putting it to hot pink a lot and LotusLanternX had more options. Even the dimmer option and the fast and slow on the remote is very limited unlike LotusLanternX . The Bluetooth connection is so bad . Once it disconnected by itself it won’t connect anymore. I literally just wasted my money for this when I should’ve gotten the ones without the Bluetooth and you can straight off mix colors in the remote. :(

These lights are awesome and beautiful!! It’s just so unfortunate you don’t know LotusLanternX that you’ll have to deal with until the lights are already installed. LotusLanternX connected initially and I enjoyed the color of my choosing for a wonderful whole two hours. After that two hour period of owning these lights LotusLanternX completely and utterly stopped working. I can do whatever I want on LotusLanternX and it does absolutely nothing whatsoever. I click any color, any brightness, and nothing happens whatsoever. Thank GOD the remote still works. I’m so disappointed there is absolutely nothing to do, no customer support, but to sit and think about how I wasted my money on these lights because people could not program an app that can operate properly. Extremely disappointing and frustrating. (App Store forced me to select one star however if possible I would rate this in the negatives.)

The quality of the lights are fine. But this review is about LotusLanternX itself. It worked really well when i first got it and it was super exciting, now LotusLanternX stopped connecting completely. Everything few days randomly over the past 4 months or so LotusLanternX just wouldn’t work at all, it wouldn’t change the light no matter what color I picked. Other times LotusLanternX only worked and the remote didn’t! When it’s good it’s great but it so frequently turned bad that I don’t recommend. There’s no one I can contact there’s nothing I can do which is so incredibly frustrating. Yesterday my sister got the same lights for her room and now mine won’t connect at all! my app keeps recognizing her room and it still doesn’t connect to either of our lights! This is so frustrating and you really should buy something else.

LotusLanternX is missing some features like deleting groups and removing devices from a group and making devices so that you can tell the difference between them all. The names of the devices are long series of numbers and letters. Also, they advertise that there are thousands of colors to choose from.... not the case. Maybe a few shades of the primary colors and a few white ish to yellowish shades. Still better than the high end ones that cost over $10 per foot.
The lights are sticking kind of well for the most part and they’re pretty bright when you have more than one strand so I guess there is one good thing about em, they turn on and they’re different colors.

From the start, there were three bulbs that for some reason would be different than all the others. Fine, whatever at least the rest work good. Have these lights in my sister’s room as well, and when she uses the remote to change them, it does mine as well. Okay, can’t expect much, it is Bluetooth controlled after all. HOWEVER the issue came about 2 months later, now I cannot change the color of the lights with the remote. I can only turn it on and off. Ok, whatever use LotusLanternX . LotusLanternX suddenly doesn’t connect to the light anymore. Redownload, works for a day, problem fixed right? No, stopped working the next day. And from the looks of it, a lot of other people are having the same issue. Don’t purchase from this company, the lights work terribly and it’s not worth it.

When I downloaded it worked right away I was so excited, and then after a couple minutes it completely stopped even know it was connected through bluetooth. I deleted LotusLanternX , downloaded it again, it reconnected somehow suddenly and I thought this worked. The next day, I am trying to connect this thing for about two hours it just doesn’t wanna work. My lights under « my device » do not pop up as it shows in the Guide of LotusLanternX and I made sure everything is connected. Very disappointed in LotusLanternX because I also saw many reviews about how it stopped working for people’s LED lights. Just wishing and praying you could fix LotusLanternX and it start working again. I have an iphone 12, so maybe it depends on the phone because I watched some videos and it worked fine with the Androids.

had these lights for around a month now and still they won’t connect to my phone no matter what I do. Doesn’t actually flash along with music from my experience (haven’t found a way to do it after trying for many hours of frustration) Lights turn on and off by themselves 4-6 times a day at random points. had them on my walls for only a month or less and the sticky part holding the lights onto the wall has already started to fall of multiple times in many different places. please spend your money with anyone but this company for your lighting. I would recommend a company called Sengled that makes very affordable and functional LED lighting with a simple and user friendly app. I would give 0 stars if possible but it only goes down to one. absolute garbage product.

I bought these lights a couple moths ago and they work pretty well. I recently noticed a scannable sticker on the side and it led me to LotusLanternX. I thought it was super cool so I installed it. I looked through at app and it seemed alright, I then I decided to try the songs. It seems like every single song has the exact same beat and it’s pretty boring. Next I tried to change the lights with the color wheel thing and it wouldn’t work. I though that was pretty annoying by oh well. I decided to try the songs one more time and it completely stopped working. You also can’t play your own songs which is a total bummer. Do t be stupid like me and ignore the low ratings and negative comments.

you can't play music that's not the music in the music section in LotusLanternX . I wish I could listen to Apple music and the lights would dance to it. the reviews that say how to fix music don't work. I don't know why. I'll keep fiddling with it. also THE SCHEDULE RESTARTS EVERY TIME YOU CLOSE LotusLanternX . every time you close LotusLanternX (fully. I'm the type that doesn't like to leave apps open (and most people are)). literally every time I open LotusLanternX the schedule restarts so you would have to ALWAYS LEAVE LotusLanternX OPEN IF YOU WANT THE SCHEDULE. those are my only 2 problems. LotusLanternX isn't too great tbh. it's okay.

Needs features like widgets, saved profiles for times and colors, “Hey Siri” integration, possibly Alexa and google assistant skills app. LotusLanternX should also not pair any devices that where not manually paired but save the manually connected devices. I have had my lights hijacked many times by another user in Bluetooth range. When the external mic for music mode is active Bluetooth audio coming from the phone to another speaker should not cut out and revert to speakers on the phone. LotusLanternX needs polishing but has potential. Please implement some of these features they will make LotusLanternX soooo much better.

The product works good. It does it’s job. It lights up the room, it works lovely! LotusLanternX that comes along with it works but I realized that when you put the lights TOO bright or brightness all the way up it will turn off. The color white does not work. Only when it’s lower brightness. When it’s all the way up it will turn off immediately. It is sometimes difficult to turn the lights back on but you just have to get to know it so it works. When the brightness for white is lower it will last longer but will turn off after a few hours. Forget the music, that doesn’t work. But other modes DO work. Otherwise, the lights and app is good :)

LotusLanternX is pretty straight forward and easy to use. It’s pretty much self explanatory which makes it easier to use than the physician control that isn’t labeled with every button. The only thing that’s bothersome is that the actual Bluetooth connection doesn’t want to connect half the time. You have to turn off Bluetooth and close LotusLanternX and turn it on/open LotusLanternX multiple times before it recognizes the connection. Once it is connected though it’s a very strong Bluetooth connection. The problem is getting it connected to begin with. Other than that it’s a good app.

THIS MAY NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE! I got my lights this evening and they were so easy to put up and such beautiful, vibrant colors. I’ve had two other types of LED strip lights and these may be the best so far. However, there was an issue with LotusLanternX not changing the colors later on during the day. To fix this issue, I went to the three little lines on the left corner of the screen and I saw a restart button. I selected that button and my LED device showed up and reconnected. I do hope this helps with any of your issues & hope for you all a very good experience with your purchase!

by Grace Eli

It controls the lights with Bluetooth. That’s it’s function and it does it. Music kinda works but not as well as you’d expect. It’s good for people like me who can’t keep track of a remote to save my life. Not as many true color choices as you’d think with the color wheel but it’s not that big of a deal. I mostly just use the preset colors. It functions as a controller but doesn’t do what is promised as dramatically as one would hope which is why it’s getting 4 stars. Decent app, simple to use, provides easy access to light control. Not much else to say.

This application may not be convenient or satisfying to everyone, but it is for anyone. LotusLanternX is perfect for me personally. I can use LotusLanternX to change RGB lights through Bluetooth. I use this on a product named GUSODOR LED strip lights. The best part, I can still use other Bluetooth device while using LotusLanternX to change the RGB strips. All you have to do is leave Bluetooth on your phone and it’s that simple. Go back to LotusLanternX and it automatically connects. It’s very convenient. You can simply change colors or use light effects through LotusLanternX with just a tap on your mobile device(s). ALERT, it DOES NOT support any other music media or any equalizer applications except musics that were bought from iTunes, which like I said, it’s not convenient or satisfying for everyone. Fortunately for me, I buy my music through iTunes, so it’s not a problem to me or for anyone that purchase their music through iTunes. (The music has to be downloaded through your phone in order for it to show up in the application’s playlist through Music lighting effect mode). However, I just want them to fix a bug where when you leave the lights off through LotusLanternX , the switch is shown off then closing the application. But, after opening the application, you see that the switch icon is turned back on even though the lights are appeared to be off. It does throw me off because I can’t tell whether I left the lights on or off when I’m away from my room. Other than that, it’s an amazing app to use.

I bought 3 of these to put in cabinets around the kitchen. I was only nervous that my kids would break or lose the IR remotes. LotusLanternX uses Bluetooth and connected to all 3 devices so I can change lighting everywhere I put it. It has some built in color patterns. Also has some ability to follow music if you have downloaded music to add. Can’t use music you haven’t downloaded. I have all power lines on one switch so when you turn on the power, the controller defaults back to the last color setting. Very nice effect. Took some practice to learn to make splices and cuts but It’s basically 1 @ 12v power line with separate RGB grounds . 4 wire and diodes so they can’t be connected reverse biased.

i know that most people said LotusLanternX stops working but for LotusLanternX to work you need your bluetooth connected to go lights for the phone remote to work. if LotusLanternX actually stops working all together you’ve still got a remote. my lights are amazing and everything about them is so good! i recommend the jeryyen smart led strip lights. they’re the good quality i paid for and they were cheap compared to most of the other good lights. if LotusLanternX stops working TURN 👏 ON 👏 YOUR 👏 BLUETOOTH👏 thank you have a good day 😙✌️

I love this product! Ive had it for 2 years now and it has been doing amazing! All the leds work it sticks well, and LotusLanternX and remote work perfectly one point I had to delete LotusLanternX and get it again but it wasn’t a big deal as it was super easy to re-download and as I had kept the box and instructions. It definitely works way better then the other leds ive had as I had others and they all broke within a few month but Over all I definitely recommend this product and it works great!!

I don't evaluate that much apps. But this one I feel is my obligation to do it. Usually when I do an app review is because somehow I'm disappointed with LotusLanternX . But that is not the case fot LotusLanternX. I enjoy very much all the features LotusLanternX has. Of course, like in every thing, there is always space for improvement. But removing the features LotusLanternX has, might be like removing the necessary ingredients in a food recipe. I've seen many apparently upgrades in other apps. But most of them are more likely a downgrade.

I'm very pleased with the features LotusLanternX has. The company that invented the product LotusLanternX is for has present and future challenges to come up with features to enhance the dimensions of the product.

I don't know what can I say to match the five stars rate I gave to LotusLanternX. The only thing I'd like to see in LotusLanternX is a sleep timer.

In general, I'd like to have the privilege of shaking the hand of the inventor and/or designer of LotusLanternX.

hi!! i figured out how to do the music!! so your going to want to go to the mic setting press external mic in the top right corner. make sure to turn the sensitivity all the way up to 100 at the bottom of the screen. then leave locus lantern app BUT DO NOT SHUT IT DOWN!! go to whatever app you are playing music on and play the music. it should play to the music! just wait a little it it doesn’t go right away or play a song that has better bass. the music also has to be turned up pretty loud for the mic to hear it but it’s better than nothing. i hope this helped! i was trying to figure this out for so long as was determined to find out how!

by Idk1718

I was ecstatic for these lights arrive but within the first week it turned to disappointment. The first problem is the 2 light strips didn’t fit around my room and my room isn’t very big. The second problem was when I couldn’t connect my music to it, even though it says you can on the box. My third problem is that they don’t stick very well either. Within 3 days of having them they fell off my way I even turned to taping them on my wall but even with tape they still fell. Also as I was hanging up my lights again (cause they just recently fell AGAIN) I was trying to get the tape off and the strip ripped, so now one of the trips isn’t even half it’s length it originally was. Overall my experience with them has been awful.

by Marcus84643

The only reason I bought this was because of it supposedly being able to sync with your music... the lights are dope alone, but when you’re listening to music and the lights go on point with every beat.. that just makes the product top notch; however, this isn’t it.. most likely will return my lights for this reason; unless, fixed ASAP. Overall, the LED lights are high quality..

by Emalieee

So I have a IPhone and when I tried to pair it, it didn’t work so what I did was I got my old Samsung and downloaded LotusLanternX and I paired it successfully. It says it’s compatible with IOS but it’s not working can you please fix?

by Qraw9

The advertisements said it would react to music but it can’t connect to the music playing through my phone, and the guide inside LotusLanternX shows a way to do it but when I look at where the button should be, there’s no button!

by Ksbdyshsjaksb

Everything logistically works fantastic but, like a lot of people are saying, you cannot connect your own music which is a bummer. Please fix this :)

by Cfenster101

it is overall a good app/ program. however i have two sets of lights which works fine except for when trying to schedule the lights to turn on or off, only one set works.

by Rgb Lights 😍

Overall it was alright I am just having problems with the music it works and dances in everything but I can’t switch it to anything but disco mode

by Soapieesoap

I LOVE these lights! It adds such a cool vibe to any room. They’re super easy to control from your phone which is convenient.I’m rating three stars because 1) the tape is starting to wear off so I’ll need to tape them down now 2) after having them for only for four months with minimal to no movement, the port that connects the lights to the plug will no longer stay attached- I have to tape it together excessively. So that’s a bummer. 3) you can’t play your own music on the music feature so that was a huge let down. BUT the lights themselves are really cool. If I were to repurchase, I’d probably try a different brand.

by Hsamsel

I bought two sets of these to put on my pontoon boat. They are waterproof and work very well, hundreds of different colors and you can make them strobe or make it one static color. Only reason I did four out of five stars is you can’t change the preset colors in LotusLanternX

Everything works great, but when I want to play music, only songs that i have downloaded are playable, and not my apple music. Please fix this.

by Jonathan702

LotusLanternX works great and the lights are amazing but only downfall is that my music doesn’t play along with the lights. Only reason I bought the lights were to have my music play along with the lights but it doesn’t and it’s a bit disappointing, debating to return but please please please fix this. LotusLanternX and lights are very great but please fix the problem where I am able to play my Apple Music to the lights. PLEASE FIX!!!! overall both app and lights are outstanding I do recommend.

by LiLH

In order for you to play music, the songs need to be bought! You can't use the music that you stream on pretty much any app!

by Jodianne0505

LotusLanternX works great, you just need to understand how it works!
Basically to get the lights to dance with the music go to the mic section, press external mic at the top right corner and turn the sensitivity up. After you can play whatever music you want but you have to let LotusLanternX run so don’t close it. The Lights should dance with the music. If I’m going to be honest it didn’t work well just with my phone speaker so I recommend using an actual speaker if you have one!! :)

by Mayan Chief

Easy to sync up with my iPhone 8 no issues at all. Adjusting colors is simple and there’s a button that lets you select music and the lights flash and change color with the music!! There’s also a microphone built in that can modulate the lights with music coming from a TV or Stereo system. Recommended.
