OREiN Matter Smart Light Bulb, 1100 Lumens 75W Equivalent Smart Light Bulbs, Color Changing Light Bulbs Work with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, A19 Smart Bulbs 2.4Ghz WiFi, 2Pack

PROS:Formerly, only Alexa and Google people got anything brighter than 60W or 75W equivalent bulbs. You were stuck around 1000 lumens and you had to search hard to even get that. No one made bright bulbs for Apple people.WHY YOU WANT A BRIGHTER BULB: Because you can dim it anyway. So why pick a bulb that can't go brighter when you need it? It's a trick question. It's 2024 with low-wattage bulbs and there's no reason at all. I used to have three 60W equivalent bulbs in my bedroom. In the daytime with the blinds open, it still seemed dark in my room, due to it being still much brighter outside than inside. Your pupils open up in response to the outside brightness, leaving everything indoors to seem "shadowy" and darker.These bulbs were a lifestyle game-changer for me. I am so much happier. The "daylight level" from outside now blends nicely into my "daytime level" indoors, with the blinds fully open, on a sunny day. At night you can dim them all the way down to barely on at all.Why anyone would prefer a 900 lumen bulb to a 1600 lumen bulb, in this era where the low wattage only costs $1.70 per year, is anyone's guess. These should be the new standard for any indoor lamp.As a tiny bonus, installation on these was much easier than my other smart-bulbs. I also like that the bulb itself gets the QR pairing code on it, in case you lose the booklet.CONS:They don't sell a 1-pack or a 3-pack. Unless you have an exactly even number of bulbs to replace, you'll be left with an "odd one out" situation.CONCLUSION:Thank you OREiN for finally giving HomeKit people the brightness and lumens we so badly needed!

I'm honestly shocked at how easy these were to set up. Scan the QR code on the outside of the box, which will link you to the app you need (that's the only drawback, you do need their specific app). Install it, make an account and then search via bluetooth to pair with the lightbulb.The light bulb will blink a sequence of colors when you first turn it on to let you know it is ready to be paired. After it is paired you can control it with wifi, or even through the internet using the app. I didn't have to change any settings on my router and I did NOT have to enable IPV6 to get them working. When we go away for a day or more these lights are great for giving our bird a day/night time remotely instead of him being stuck with the light on until we get home.They are bright (but also have dimmer settings if you prefer) and have many interesting color options that all work well.I've had some variation of smart bulb in the past of a different brand and they were difficult enough to setup that I was afraid to try more, these are so easy in comparison!

I have always been a fan of RGB Lights and also smart devices.. Now first thing was These seem a little dim compared to other 75 watt equivalent bulbs but this is probably pushing light out of all LEDs. But setup was simple. One actually replaced a bulb that was hooked to a remote SmartThings Switch. Now I can use that switch elsewhere and also now I have a light over my kitchen sink. The one hooked to the remote with is actually in my bedroom and is my main light. As I have not found any good Bulbs that I can use with my Ceiling fan. Might have to just replace the fan so I can get it to work properly (uggg pull strings in this day and age hehe) So the one in my room is actually actuated via my Alexa and also a SmartThings button (which reminds me needs a battery hehe) so it is very easy to use and get light in that room. It's ample for that room unless Im resetting my cable modem then I need the combo of the 4 100 watt led bulbs on the ceiling fan. Nice combo and really nice to be able to use them separately ..

Home hub IS required to set up this device for Apple Home!

These bulbs are 1600 lumen (100w) so they are brighter than your typical 60 watt bulbs. They were very easy to pair and can be controlled by the Matter app or with your home automation system. They work equally well with Apple, Google, and Amazon Alexa, which to me is better than using the app. The bulbs are a little larger than a 60 watt bulb and do tend to get hot after a while, so keep that in mind when deciding where to use them. At the current price point of about $25 for 2 bulbs the are a little higher than some of the other RGB bulbs but depending on the longevity of the bulb will help you decide if they are a good value. I may update this review at a later time if I find the life of the bulb to be less than acceptable.

These are bright and respond quickly. It came with the QR codes on a booklet to scan so you're not trying to look and scan the bulb when setting up. Great price for the brightness and the full range of colors and whites.Samsung SmartThings had difficulty connecting to WiFi from an Android phone but it connected from an Apple device without issue. The bulbs themselves are great. The few things I don't like are with Matter over Wifi. Understanding that Matter continues to work even when the Internet is down, the hub and the bulbs have to be on a network so that it can talk to each other is not manufacturer dependent. So these didn't work on my secure network. It also requires IPv6 to be enabled.

I really like these smart light bulbs for their ease of setup with ALEXA; the process was automatic and seamless, without any issues...They work flawlessly with ALEXA, and I didn't need to download any extra apps for my phone, though I think I have all those apps on my phone already anyways! :)The only slight issue is that they aren't as bright as I expected, but I still enjoy them and happily recommend them.

Okay, so I have Alexa, and I have Apple Iphone and I finally figured it out and am very happy with how this works. It works perfectly although it was not so easy for me to figure out at first. But then again, I am of the older generation. Once I figured it out I am very VERY pleased.
