    Great Lights
    We use these lights for our trees in the front yard. We can change the timers and lights from the app on our phone. So easy!

    Poor connection
    Only works about 1/2 the time and that’s assuming is actually connected. Both lights are 70ft from any mesh router and it still won’t connect until they are both reset to factory settings

    Cree Lighting Connected Max 120W Dimmable Smart LED Bulb (2-Pack)
    Installation worked best one at a time. I installed 26 par38 bulbs (Cree Lighting Connected Max 120W Dimmable Smart LED Bulb (2-Pack)) at 14W and 1200 lumens to replace the failing Feit 20W 1,035 lumens (3,000k) recessed lighting. I got nowhere near the 30 years or 50,000 hours of use. Called the manufacture (Feit) and “too bad they did not live up to the rated life” they said. Fortunately, I had the Costco receipt and they took the return on the bulbs. On Amazon, the Cree Lighting Connected Max 120W Dimmable Smart LED Bulb 2-Pack brought price for each bulb to $13.90.The Cree Lighting app is not very intuitive and design layout is clunky at best needing to use a stylist to get the action selected correctly. The other quirky app feature is using Groups. If you create a Group and have the bulbs individually turned on, then the Group feature does not work until you have all the individually turned on bulbs off, so the Group can control the bulbs in a Group. The other feature not there in Group is the bulbs in a Group all get the same color. You cannot have bulbs in a group have different colors. Cree Lighting app has some nice color Scenes, but in a Group all the bulbs change together through a series of colors. It is not like Philips-Hue where each bulb in a Group plays a different color in a Scene (much cooler effect, more bulbs in a Group better the effect as the colors are blended into a room). I do agree with other reviewers that when in color mode you are not getting anywhere near 1,200 lumens. To be honest I do have 10 Philip-Hue 1,600 lumens color ambiance light bulbs and they definitely are brighter in color mode than Cree, but are only 1,600 lumens at 4,000k. Change the Kelvin and the lumens go down.Get past the app lacks some maturity, renaming bulbs to family friendly names for Alexa use was easy. I did add 2 WiFi Extenders as the recommended number of devices on 2.4ghz is recommended not to exceed 45. I had some 90 + devices on 2.4Ghz and that caused delays on Cree smart lighting, smart switches, smart plugs and exceptionally brutal on Ring Doorbell and Stickup Cams. Everything works fast as you would expect with no delays now. It was a brutal and frustrating learning experience and with some additional expense. Wish I knew up front what I know now and it would all have gone in much smoother.The Follow the Sun is really novel feature. Really provides a great feel for lighting in spaces you select to use like the family room. The kitchen my wife likes 5,000K and she prefers for the laundry room / linen closet 6,500K to provide sunlight like light for seeing dirt and stains on clothes and especially whites look white. Hallways we have set to a warmer 3,500K.My daughter found the Sync to Music Routine is a virtual mic on the iPhone and all the bulbs in a Group change to the same color as they rotate through colors. Definitely, not like Philips-Hue rich disco cinematic experience that Syncs with Spotify (free) or Syncbox or Sync App for Samsung tv’s ($$). Overall for the price it is a very good value compared to Philip-Hue at $75 for a par38 (it is brighter at 1,600 lumens at 4,000k, but the price is brutal). Most of the time you will just use the bulbs for normal lighting 2,000k – 6,500k. Everything else is fun to show off to your friends.

    Disappointngly Dim
    Now I understand why the box says “120W REPLACEMENT” rather than “120W EQUIVALENT”. You can replace a 120W bulb with any other bulb of the same base type and voltage, even if it’s dimmer, and these are a LOT dimmer than the existing Cree brand 120W dumb bulb they were bought to replace. Side-by-side it’s like comparing a little kid to his adult brother, even though the existing bulb is deteriorated and heavily fogged over like a headlight on a 90s era car parked in a driveway for 30 years. Yes, these are “smart” and I can control them with my phone, and change their color as required. These will be illuminating a flagpole that has a flag 24/7, and special flags for holidays, so it will be a nice touch to be able to do say red and green for Christmas. Still, they just aren’t bright enough unless I put them at the base of the flag, and that would involve too much expense to hire an electrician to do it at a house I will be moving from in a year. I’ll keep them, because they are useful for landscape and architectural lighting, but they aren’t bright enough for their original purchse.

    Disappointing. Very low output
    Its about 1/4 of the brightness of my other 3rd party lanp. Not great. Also connection was a pain. You have to do the on off technique twice to go into slow mode (6second flashes not 2)
