?BEST CHOICE?LUMIMAN smart bulbs is the best alternative of the strip lights, no harm to the wall. But do not use dimmer to control the bulb

Top Positive Review

I first set these bulbs up with lumiman app as per instructions, but many tries later, still couldn’t get Alexa to link. Tried to get Alexa to connect to Lumiman app; but Alexa always found SmartLIFE app when asked for Lumiman. Deleted Lumiman app, set up bulbs with SmartLIFE app, then everything worked fine (well, one bulb I had to set up twice before it worked, but that’s par for the course). Colors and dimming now work with Alexa. Deducted one star for misleading instructions.

Top Critical Review

The bulbs work well using the Alexa Echo dot. The Turn on/off/color/brightness change etc… works very reliability and they are very bright in the daylight mode.

There is a logic fault in the bulb that needs to be addressed. As you know the bulbs need to be rapidly flashing to program and if they are not flashing, the directions say to power cycle 3 times. This is all well and good and performs a reset and gets things back to a virgin state.

The problem arises when there is a power outage/restore 3 times before the lamp operates. It seems that any 3 breaks in power over any length of time ( even several hours ) will cause the lamps to flash brightly as they are now reset. This reset/flash presents several issues 1. The lights are very annoying when they reset- almost painful. 2. If you are not home, maybe on vacation, and this flashing starts what will the neighbors think is happening?

In my opinion the “3 power cycle reset” sequence should be designed so that the power cycling must be done in 1 minute (or some other reasonably short time) to stop the majority of accidental resets.

Customer Questions & Answers

Can my Echo Plus change the color via voice command? or do I have to set colors in app?
Answer:

You can use Alexa to set the color, with a caveat, when you say ??Alexa, set living room lights to blue / green / purple / yellow / orange / pink / white??, it does change the color, however, visually I can not tell the difference of changing to orange when you are switching from yellow, perhaps you can feel without a la??

Does it come with two light bulbs?
