Magic Lantern Reviews

Timer cannot turn a light off. Also has issues dealing with scheduling when two lights are connected.

It says the device on the apps but it doesn’t connect wirelessly somehow so I couldn’t display my LED light so I am planning to throw this into the trash without the function I can’t be using this kind of lights in my luxuries bar thank you

Came with a corner LED light. Doesn’t connect or pair with the LED when I can connect to it in my iPhone. Doesn’t authenticate, which could be a problem. MagicLantern is terrible. It has a delayed input, it doesn’t explain itself at all, and all the options are useless if it can’t connect/work at all with the light. Light works okay by itself: remote does not work either. So, a crappy app for a sub par product.

It only has crappy presets and it doesn’t let you use the full capability of the light. I have the hexagon wall lights and you are supposed to be able to have multiple colors per hexagon but this bad app only lets you have 1 color per hexagon. MagicLantern itself is trash the colors are completely wrong. Whoever made MagicLantern needs to let us control the presets and make custom presets. That’s literally the whole reason I got the lights. It isn’t that hard to let us make custom presets so I don’t understand why it isn’t already in MagicLantern . I already know the devs aren’t going to read this but hopefully someone else can so they don’t waste their money on these lights.

What even is this???? There aren’t that many colors, and the microphone doesn’t even work!!!! And get more songs!!! Or let the lights connect to the songs we wanna play on our playlists!!! Please do some sort of update to fix everything that everyone has been pointing out ( and the shake thing is just stupid- )

Upon downloading MagicLantern im immediately greeted with the change color thing. Never any instructions on how to even add my lights to MagicLantern . Then when going back and reading the instructions it’s telling me how to add it and the buttons it’s saying to hit aren’t even there anymore.

Please go return your lights before you get to deep into it.

They worked great at first, but after a recent update in March, they’ve become buggy. I’ll have them on 1 Autoplay Mode and then after a few minutes, they switch to a flashing mode and I have to unplug and plug back it the adaptor to get it back to the first mode. This happens every 4-7minutes.

I would like to completely be able to customize the music control with color, segment, speed, etc. you also somehow mixed up red with greed on both MagicLantern and the controller. How? How do you mess green and red up??

Bluetooth won’t connect to MagicLantern don’t know why I tried a lot of things still I get nothing through MagicLantern and Bluetooth

Not sure what the fuss is about but able to connect to BT easily. Presets are decent and you can adjust speed so not fully customizable. If that’s what your looking for this isn’t it. Mic is a bit sensitive and no way to adjust. Music also doesn’t work nicely and seems to be only preset but I don’t use neither. I also experienced the color displaying incorrectly. Still could use some fine tuning but a decent start to MagicLantern .

The lights function but I noticed that they get jittery when you move the power box at all. Also, they straight up lied about being able to connect to Apple Music. None of my library connects and that was the main reason I purchased. It’s just ten irrelevant pre set songs. For that reason two stars.

The layout of MagicLantern is just janky. The 40+ styles in an infinite scrolling menu is abysmal to deal with. The speed slider doesn’t seem to matter when each effect has its on speed. When you use the music option your microphone picks up EVERYTHING and so you’re left with an annoying quickly flashing LED strip that doesn’t have any coronation with the sound being picked up. Shake feature is just stupid. And there’s no option to create a custom scene

So I have several RGB lights throughout my house. They’re all different brands. However they all have apps that schedule when the lights come on and off. MagicLantern has that however it only works on one lamp at a time for some reason. Whenever I schedule the lights to come on only on of the two works which is kind of annoying. I’m trying to figure out a work around by adding them to different groups but still no results. Seems like a software issue and I would really appreciate it if it were fixed. Kind of disappointed in the product. The lights themselves work great which is why I rated it a 3 star. Id rate it a 5 star if MagicLantern worked better.

The lights worked really well at first, they changed colors correctly to the color selected on MagicLantern but after playing with all the options somehow the RGB got changed?

Red in MagicLantern now shows blue lights in my car
Blue in MagicLantern now shows green lights and green shows red, the lights still work fine, I’m just not sure why you’d add a ton of lighting options and features if the basic RGB mixtures aren’t even accurate.

I had a lot of difficulty at first getting MagicLantern to connect to the light strip; but once it was it really is not bad at all. It has a huge amount of interesting effects and patterns. It really could use some sort of favorites feature to save the patterns that one wants to quickly retrieve.

So MagicLantern works great controlling the lights. Lots of functions for how to control them and set the lighting. The downside is for the music it’s very limited. There is no way to go and select a playlist and have it work with that or select the music source say from another app like Sirius.

I wish you could Bluetooth more than one light… very disappointed.

I honestly have no clue why there’s so many bad reviews. Maybe those that left said reviews were expecting something much different but I can’t see why. I have an iPhone and it connects to Bluetooth just fine without issue. I’m not experiencing any color shifting as well. The only thing I would’ve liked to see is some customizable options for patterns and direction but for the money I’m totally satisfied. Also, it doesn’t connect to my Apple Music but I don’t care. With the microphone feature it is able to somewhat sync with music but not great. Other than those issues it is everything it said it was and everything I expected. Maybe some people don’t have the aptitude for electronics or are just used to things being idiot proof... although MagicLantern’s interface is so predictable that elementary aged children could have a grasp of it.

Who are you spoiled HUE Phillips whatever MagicLantern is literally making my life super nice try much to be advanced but stop this post should be deleted of this angry elf requesting.
This is great!

I’m not sure how MagicLantern ’s ratings are so low. Once I set up my lights, MagicLantern automatically paired- and it’s so easy to change the colors. User friendly and I love it!
