Feit Electric

Bought these lights cos I thought the idea was great. I’m up late and it’s nice to have the red or green setting later so my eyes are subjected to a bright LED. However, like mentioned in a previous comment the dim switch gets stuck often at a previously setting (light doesn’t change luminosity), so you have to back out and refresh the app or close it. Would be awesome if this didn’t happen. Another suggestion I think would be an incredible function. If when using the timer you can choose what color the lights would be. This would be really helpful because I usually fall asleep with the red lights, but to be woken up with the white lights would be great. When I use the timer as it is now, if I fall asleep with the red lights on when they turn on with the schedule function, the red lights come back on and you have to manually change them. But that’s the only things I notice for improvement. Great app otherwise.

I was so excited when I found the outdoor smart plug for our Christmas lights. We have an outdoor electrical plug but it is not connected to any indoor switch so when we plug in our Christmas lights we have to go outside to turn them off. Often we are in our night clothes and no shoes so when it’s raining or snowing no one what’s to go outside to turn them off. I downloaded this app and was thrilled there was a scheduler so I could set the times to turn the lights off and on. However, the first time you download the app the scheduler appears. Not sure why but once you set it the scheduler disappears. I deleted the app and downloaded it again and there it was. Went back later to look at the scheduler, not there again. Now I just use the app to turn them off and on, no convenient scheduler. Hopefully there’ll soon be a fix.

I have this thing set up to automatically turn the light on at 7:30. Pretty reliable. I have them set up to turn off at 9:3 am, just in case I forget. I never come home and see my lights on. The only issue I’ve found, I figured out wasn’t even a problem with the lightbulbs, but rather with my WiFi. I have a wireless printer that operates from WiFi, and if I use it and forget to change back to the WiFi from the house, then my lightbulbs don’t recognize it and go into pairing mode. To fix this, simply flipped back to my house WiFi after I finish printing what I need to print. Took me a couple runs to figure it out, but once I figured out the issue, it hasn’t happened again. The new color effects are pretty cool. I am strongly considering buying these bulbs for my entire house so I can just use my phone, but it’s my dads house and I want to see if I can get him to buy them for me.

If you're hoping to drift off to a dimming Moroccan sunset and waking up to Northern Lights, this is not the app for you. But if you just want to turn the lights on and off with your Google device and change the color to suit your mood, you'll probably be more than satisfied. The set up was pretty simple, even for a grandma like me. I've only been using the bulb for a few days, but have had no complaints so far. As another reviewer said, I wish I could set the bulbs to be red-orange in the evening and blue-white in the morning, but the color can't be set ahead of time. You can set it to come on at a certain time but the color will be whatever it was when it went off. If there are no issues in another month or so, I may get another bulb so I can set one for the morning and one for the evening.

So setting up is a little weird but not too hard if you can read. Also, who’s idea was it to have the default for “unconnected to wifi” be repetitive flashing lights? Yeah you can make them flash slowly (once every 3 seconds) but that’s still super awful and i wish there was another way to do that, just saiyan. Um your app fails to “read” what the light is doing while maintaining full control. after opening properly and testing every thing out it works great! But if I return to the home screen (leave the app running in the background) the display will show me the previously set settings and it will also show me moving the color/brightness switch. It will not record the new position of the color/brightness switch BUT the new position is displayed with the lights and stays there. However the screen displays the incorrect value (previous color/brightness). Problem is fixed after app restart. I hope I have described the problem well enough to understand. TL;DR: app necessary for lightbulb function therefore 5/5. App has minor bug where UI displays old inputs; does not effect overall function of the lightbulb but makes app clunky and harder to use, needing frequent restarts.
