I was very skeptical of smart lights, something about having my light bulbs depending on my internet connection to work was not sitting right with me. But when a friend of mine gifted me one of these bulbs for my floor lamp, I was immediately shocked by how easy it was to use and how versatile these lights can be. I was so happy about that one singular bulb that I ended up purchasing two sets of three bulbs for my small apartment. I love having automated scenes turning on and off the lights according to the time of the day, and I love even more asking Siri to turn them on with certain scenes that I created to watch movies or do yoga. They do not interfere with my internet connection at all, they don't cost me too much in terms of energy bills (matter of fact, I think I'm spending less actually!), and they are way brighter than I thought. I cannot recommend them enough!
