Sengled Alexa Light Bulb, 100 Watt Equivalent Bluetooth Mesh Color Changing Light Bulb, Smart Bulbs that Work with Alexa Only, Dimmable A19 E26 RGB Light Bulbs 1500LM, CRI>90, No Hub Required, 4 Pack

After much research, I opted to buy a 4 pack of Sengled Alexa Light Bulbs, 100W Equivalent - for use in our bedroom. I also opted to purchase an Echo Dot (gen 5) to control them as Alexa voice commands to your phone will not work. The light bulb verbiage: “Alexa Only” along with “Bluetooth Mesh” signify the bulbs will work only via Bluetooth and not via WiFi. Also, if my WiFi is down or gets a weak signal - they continue to work. They pair too easy: screw them into a lamp, turn the lamp on, say “Alexa Discover Devices”, and about 30 seconds later the bulb (device) is added to Alexa’s list of devices and named “1st Lamp” and so on for the other bulbs. FYI: the bulb is referenced as “1st Lamp” or “Lamp 1”. Or you can rename it using the Alexa App. After I installed the other 3 lights - I used the Alexa App to group them and named the group “Lights” to work with the command “Alexa Lights On”. After the initial setup using the Alexa App - I use Alexa voice commands to adjust their color, brightness and temperature via group name or individual name. And, if I manually turn a light off - it returns to its last setting when manually turned on. Here is something most interesting: they also work in 3-way rotary switch lamps. Note that click-1 is the same as “off”, and click-2 and click-3 is “on” with no difference in brightness. I saw a couple reviews that stated these 100 watt equivalent bulbs (1500 lumens) were lacking in brightness - and found that was not true. Sengled has engineered a quality bulb and I will buy more because of their easy setup, overall functionality and 3 year warranty. Update 11-30-2024: 1st problem after 10 month of daily usage. I lost almost all Alexa communications except off/on. I could not adjust color, temperature or percentage. However, it was an easy fix. I did not have to “reset” each bulb and “discover” them. I just turned all lights off via command. Then I disconnected the electric cord from the Echo Dot and waited about 30 seconds before reconnecting the cord. Then I waited about 1 minute until the time of day displayed. Then I gave a couple simple commands to Alexa to insure the Echo Dot was working. Then i gave Alexa numerous light commands to insure the problem was resolved. Too simple!

App doesn't connect to the bulbs anymore. The bulbs disconnected for some reason and the app can locate them, but it can't connect. So now I have very expensive white bulbs.

We are havin issues with the bulbs and we contacted segled. They told us that out echo dot needs upgrated. We sent a video showing them that everything works except for 1 bulb and they still havent helped

I chose this brand because of its higher lumens rating. These lights ARE very bright, and that’s great for reading at night or cleaning dust or other tasks where you need to see fine details. They work as expected in terms of choosing colors. My first gripe is what I noticed right away but it’s a minor issue. You can group lights together to go on or off all at once, but you cannot ADJUST that same group of lights simultaneously. While you can dim the individual lights, you cannot “live” dim a group of lights. You can only set individual lights to have a certain brightness, and then turn all those lights on or off at that brightness. That’s not such a big deal, once you make a pre-set the lights immediately jump to that brightness. So I have a morning setting, an afternoon setting, an evening setting and a night setting. The much bigger problem and the reason gave 4 out of 5 stars, is that I’m having frequent connectivity issues. I got the bluetooth mesh version because I have a lot of smart devices in my small studio apt and my modem can only have 10 devices on 2.4GHz. These lights often take a few seconds to connect, and you get impatient refreshing the app and waiting for the lights to respond. I have another bluetooth device that’s an LED light strip that I stuck under my kitchen cabinets, and that ALWAYS responds quickly to my commands in the phone app. So I don’t think the Sengled problem is my bluetooth. You might want to try another brand if you don’t insist on the very brightest bulbs.

Was very easy to add to Alexa, just turned it on and said “Alexa, add new device” and it recognized it in about 20 seconds. Programmed easily, changed colors settings and checked setting, it works great. No hub required, it connected easily.

I would not buy these... I have bought two packs of these and within a couple of months, the red color no longer works in two different bulbs. This then affects most of the other colors that use the red LED color. For example, setting the bulb to purple turns the bulb blue. I will now have to purchase new bulbs, but I am definitely going with another brand. If not for this issue happening TWICE, these bulbs are fine. But don't waste your money on these.

Product WORKED (pasted tense) wonderfully for over a year. I've purchased 20+ of these for aging parents to simplify their life. Last week the Skill to link to Alexa (and all of the simple voice commands I patiently trained my parents to use) won't work. Sengled CSR are worthless. What happened that suddenly made these great bulbs not talk to Alexa???

They work as bluetooth controlled LED fixtures without the WIFI security risk of the CREE (uttter failure) lamps I purchased the same day. I had the Singled LED connected and operational in under 5 minutes. Setup and control was simple. The BIG bonus is that they did not require an email to track my activity and usage back to, did not require an account be set up, did not require ALEXA or GOOGLE DOTS SPOTS OR whatever... or other internet spying components to control, did not require anything but download the app and connect! Would have given a solid 5 if they had been bright enough. Simply put, they were not illuminating enough for me. They draw 12W and put out less light than my 9W lamps I was trying to replace with something that I can adjust the color throughout the day to mimic outdoors. The lamps hit every mark except brightness.... I find it extremely hard to believe it is 1500Lumens... my 9W are only 800Lumens and have WAY more light than these Sangled... I may give another model a try... but inaccurate advertising does not suit well to me .. over promised and under delivered... This is an instant return for me...

i bought different type of "Sengled" lights, here are my finding.. - 60w 800lm softwhite - its okay, pretty dark to me, good for task light, table lamp. hot to touch after 5mins than Phillips Hue - 100w 1500lm softwhite - mabe around 1200lm, but its also same price as Phillips Hue Softwhite.. so.. why not go for a branded one? One of them didnt work, returning whole pack. hot to touch after 5mins than Phillips Hue - 100w 1500lm RGB - def not 1500, more like 800lm, i also found the "soft white" warmer color is actually more bright. I like it show RGB color at start, so you know its not soft light bulb. great for its price. - Alexa can only add simple colors. I downloaded the app but lazy to reset to test the RGB and i'm returning. not sure if it can do dial and disco like Hue can do with plugin. - Compare with Phillips Hue.. i had a set of Phillips since 4 years ago, used for a year or 2, the hub ocassionally have problem, and i later feel bored with it so never use it. But Hue runs much less cold, its warm during run, but not hot like Sengled. If its same price, or 20% less, i would still go for Hue, as it should last longer, better community support and possibly software. Personal take: - returning 60w softwhite - 100w softwhite has problem so i have to return anyway, going to try Hue softwhite, if its good keep, if not, gonna buy Sengled 100w again, hopefully wont have problem. - RGB is too dark, and i have Hue.. returning and buy when i need extra RGB. UPDATE: trying to set up all software 100w, 2 out of 4 has issue. tried reset (on/off 10 times), didnt work, tried few things randomly. didnt work. i start to doubt on their quality, I dont want to waste time on this, planning to return all these lights.

Easy to install and link to your Alexa device. (Make sure it's linked to your account when you buy it.) Bright enough in soft white mode to light up a small room. Other colors are not as bright, but can be used for a relaxing effect. The only thing that limits these bulbs is that you only have 16 discreet colors instead of being able to dial your own through an RGB color mixer.

After 5 months, three out of four lost the ability to show red, so all the colours that need red are done. Two bulbs won’t show blue. All bulbs receive commands and turn on and off in one colour, but Alexa says that they are not responding, check connection. I reset all of them, deleted them from Alexa, reregistered all four, regrouped them, nothing changed, and one won’t even respond as a single bulb but turns on when you turn on All Bulbs, not even just the subset of living room, or individual command. 5 months began the colour problems, 8 months brought the connection and not responding problem. Trying a different brand. I can’t believe I paid $60 for four lightbulbs that lasted 5 months before starting to drastically fail. LED’s are supposed to last so much longer than incandescent. I have other led bulbs that have lasted for years and are still going, but the circuitry in this brand must be very cheap to fail like this.

These are VERY easy to install, setup and maintain than most smart bulbs. The problem is the high lumen rating. Even though they say its 100w equivalent, 1600 lumens, it is barely over 800-900. I use 1600lm lights in my main areas so immediately after replacing, I could notice the light getting halved. Double check the brightness in alexa, nope. Thats the max. I also bought some 800lm bulbs from the same line for my dinette so I decided to test it. The lights were also dimmer compared to my regular 800lm led, though not a lot. Curious some more even, I installed a lux meter on my phone, and the 800lm sengleds were about 20-25% dimmer than a regular 800lm, while the 1600lm smart variants were a whopping 50-60% dimmer than a regular 1600lm Seriously, if you really want a bright 1600lm one, DO NOT buy this

I have bought many products from Sengled over the years. Used to be great. Easy to integrate into an Alexa environment and just plain work. Not the cheapest but worth the money. This latest purchase is problematic. Two of the four bulbs refuse to link up with Alexa. They turn on but will not connect or allow any control. The other two connect just fine but for some reason one of them is like 10 seconds behind the other when changes are made via Alexa. Even though they are in the same fixture. Not happy with this.
