Watch out Hue, Sylvania is coming for you….
Philip’s Hue lighting products have carved out a top-end niche as providers of programmable LED lighting. Others, like LIFX and Sengled have tried to muscle in on Hue’s perch, LIFX with wifi connectivity not requiring a hub and bright lights, Sengled by going the Hue route with hub and repeater lights, but at about 1/2 to 2/3 the price of equivalent Hue bulbs.So, owning bulbs from all three of the main programmable-LED manufacturers, I was intrigued to try these Sylvania programmable LED bulbs. I don’t know if Sylvania, recently spun off from GE, intends to go into this market in a big way. But these bulbs should make a splash–and make the established competitors wary. Sylvania has been around a long time and is known as a quality manufacturer of incandescent and flourescent home bulbs as well as a variety of commercial lighting products. This is their first serious foray into programmable home LED lighting, as far as I’m aware, and I hope they fill out their portfolio because these bulbs are seriously cheap and excellent.I’m not a techie. I don’t measure lumens. I only eyeball the lights. But I’m discriminating and this is what I’ve found.The Good:1. Cost. Twenty-eight dollars for four bulbs. Not just four while LEDs, but four fully-programmable, full-color 60-watt equivalent bulbs. That’s just $7 each!2. The light. Strong, bright in both white and colors.3. Ease of setup. Exceptionally easy installation and setup. I had none of the problems others complain about here with my 2.4GHz and 5GHz (which share a unified SSID) confusing the bulbs. In fact, Iâve had more issues with Hue and Sengled installations than with these bulbs. Iâm not denying the problems others say theyâve experienced, but Iâve learned that with IOT installations, patience and a willingness to experiment is often necessary, even with the top products in the category.4. App. Good basic app.5. Worked seamlessly with my Google Home once the Syvlania account was established.The Bad:Nothing really. OK, I would like to be able to schedule by sunup and sundown, and the app doesn’t appear to do that, but neither do many others. I haven’t checked to see if there is an IFTT plugin for the lights as there is for Sengled. But this is a common frustration I have. The absolute best for this is Lutron and no one else comes close.A few more details:OK. This sounds like boosterism and it is. I want to see prices fall in this market. I want competitors to Hue and Sengled and LIFX. But I want quality first, not cheapo, no-name, fly-by-night crud from overseas where every light appears to be a rebadged version of another, all with suspiciously positive reviews.This light may be the one I’ve been looking for. Installation is a breeze. Download and install the Sylvania Wifi app, register your email, respond to an email verifying your address, choose a password, power on the bulb, search for it in the app, enter the password to your wifi network, permit location access (or deny, it works either way) and you’re there. Simple.The bulb looks as powerful and colorful as my Hue and Sengled bulbs. It’s impressive. The app allows you to set certain scenes (“Effects”), none of which mean much to me, but may to you. The app comes with reading, leisure, awake and and night effects already installed and you can make your own choosing color and brightness along with static, strobe and fade effects.Finally, the light remembers its last setting if its power is turned off, returning to its previous state when the power resumes.I’ll update this review if necessary, but these lights are the real deal in my opinion.

Control your lights like Captain Kirk
Works with Alexa voice and app, and Sylvania WIFI app.Set up was a little tricky. Must use only “Sylvania Smart WIFI” app (with orange WIFI icon) for initial set up so choose carefully. Sylvania app said it auto connected with Alex, but I had to go into the Alexa app and manually add each bulb via the “device” icon before Alexa voice control worked. I could then change their names ( I suggest you change the bulbs’ names to something more personal other than their part numbers which is the factory default) and add location markers with the ‘gear’ icon while in the Alexa app.Only works with 2.4G WIFI, so dig out you account name (or let the Sylvania app show your choices), and password. It won’t let you connect to 5G (or your neighbors’ WIFI) without your correct info…just like most every WIFI device.I can turn 4 bulbs on/off, dim, change ‘mood'(pre-defined output), set time/schedule individually, all together, or within a named group, via Sylvania WIFI app, Alexa app, and Alexa voice. I can even individually control bulbs in a multi-bulb fixture.You must leave light switch “ON” 24/7 or you will disable the WIFI receiver in the bulbs and lose all remote control options. You can set up your light bulbs and use the fixture’s ‘old school’ light switch to turn off/on and the bulbs will retain their last setting (mostly..I have had to reprogram once)Finally I find the light from the 60 watt version warm, and color enhancing, just like the manufacturer claims.Live long and prosper!

Cheap way to add smart bulbs to your home
I’ve been slowly getting into the smart home for awhile now. I wanted Philips Hue but we all know how expensive those bulbs are. I was browsing bulbs and saw theses bulbs on sale so I decided to order some along with some Treatlife color smart bulbs which are normally around the same price (both bulbs are generally $35 regular price at the time of this review). One thing to immediately note about these bulbs, they have a note on the box and in the instructions saying they are not for use in fully enclosed fixtures so keep that in mind. When I received the bulbs I was impressed with how much they looked like regular bulbs once installed in a fixture. I’ve had CFL bulbs in all of my fixtures for years so it was nice to see the more traditional look in my fixtures again. Setup was easy. As soon as I applied power the bulbs started flashing. I downloaded the Sylvania Smart+ app, signed up for an account and connected to the wifi network I was installing the bulbs on. The app found the bulbs and added them one by one. The whole process took around 15 mins. Subsequent pairing were way shorter since I didn’t have to sign up for an account.I noticed these bulbs mentioned CRI rating so I decided to compare them against another popular cheap smart bulb manufacturer, Treatlife. These bulbs are bright when using regular white light. I couldn’t really tell a difference between these and the Treatlife as they both were bright and had tunable whites.The Sylvania bulbs showed their oomph once I started testing colors. The colors were brighter and more vibrant than the Treatlife bulbs. The difference was really noticeable so if you’re looking for bulbs that are pretty bright when displaying colors then I would go with these bulbs.Connecting with Amazon and Google was a simple process as well. Just search for Sylvania in the respective apps and it should allow you to login and connect to the Sylvania account you created. Once you do that you’ll be able to control the lights via Alexa or Google Home. I was so impressed I ordered 8 more bulbs. But I admittedly came across the problem a few reviewers mentioned. One of the bulbs would always flicker and flash. Initially it started when displaying blue or white. Yellow, red and green displayed fine but over time the problem got worst and worst. The bulb flickered and flashed anytime it was on no matter the color. I ended up putting that bulb in a rarely used lamp just to keep it out of the way. But that’s the only bulb I’ve had problems with out of the 12 I received.Lastly for all my techies, unfortunately this bulb does not interact with the Smart Life or Tuya Smart app. You HAVE to use the Sylvania app. The bulbs use a Tuya chipset but the pairing process always times out on the “cloud” step. The app detects the bulb but can never connect it to the cloud. So if you use Home Assistant, Homebridge etc for local control you will not be able to control these bulbs locally via 3rd party apps. There aren’t even any integrations or add ons available for these bulbs in those platforms. So if you’re trying to get everything into one app unfortunately these bulbs will not allow you to do that unless you use the Alexa app or the Google home app. Any other 3rd party app integration is non existent. That could change in the future but at the moment you’re out of luck.Nonetheless I have enjoyed these bulbs. Easy setup, bright colors, bright regular light and pretty reliable. They are also pretty cheap as most full color smart bulbs cost a little more. I can’t comment on reliability yet as I’ve only had these bulbs for a couple of months now but they are all still working with the exception of the one bulb that flickers/flashes. I do notice that a couple of bulbs occasionally stop responding but a quick power cycle fixes that problem. All in all I recommend these bulbs if you’re looking for a cheap way to add some smart bulbs to your home, especially if you want bright colors without paying $40+ per bulb. If you’re a techie that wants to integrate these bulbs into a third party smart platform other than Amazon or Google then I would look elsewhere.

If youâre considering smart lightbulbs, and youâre concerned about setting them up or the frustrations of programming, these are by far the easiest bulbs that Iâve ever worked with or installed, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to move into the smart home phase

Me costaron $260 mxn, el paquete con 4, cada uno queda en $62.50 por lo que es un buen precio.Muy fácil de sincronizar y sin tener que instalar aplicaciones o skills para Alexa. Abres la app de Alexa / añadir dispositivos / Luz / y literal eso es todo… He probado varias marcas y esta a sido la más fácil de sincronizar.La luz es potente, cálida y se puede regular.

The lighting is “just right” for reading and watching television. In the box, you will see the barcode to download the Sylvania WI-FI app for either Android or Iphone. I have and Android and it took me under 10 minutes to configure the lights, with dimmer settings and time of day!

Los compre porque estaban en oferta eran 4 focos por $606. Se me hizo muy justo. Fácil de instalar, con la app de Sylvania Smart Wifi, ya no necesita la skill para vincularse con Alexa, al agregar un foco en la app, te pone el tutorÃa o el boton para darle Voice Control con Alexa luego abres la app de Alexa y te reconoce los nuevos dispositivos (focos). La luz esta bien, es amarilla y no es blanca, se puede regular desde la app de Alexa y se me hicieron bien, repito por el precio si esta bien.
