Sengled Smart, Alexa Compatible, A19/E26, 2-pk Bulbs + Smart Hub

TL;DR: We've had these Sengled smart bulbs in our bedroom since 2018, and they're still going strong! Alexa controls them almost all the time. The setup was easy, and they're bright enough for the whole room (4 bulbs) without the typical LED flickering. Plus, they're durable – my kids keep stealing them for other lights! I think they last so long because they run cooler than regular bulbs. Full Review: We've been using these Sengled smart bulbs for the lights in our bedroom ceiling fan since November 2018, and I honestly can't recall a single issue we've had with them. We use Alexa to control them about 98% of the time. The other 2%? That's when we use the app, usually when Alexa is struggling to get the brightness level just right. But even that's become rare; we haven't had to use the app in at least a year. These (4) bulbs give off more than enough light to cover our entire room, and they've been used several times a day since day one. It's been nearly seven years of flawless operation, and they're still as bright as when we first got them. Installation, as I remember, was super simple, and that was the only time I had to deal with the setup. Even adding them to Alexa's Skills only took a few minutes; most of that time was spent coming up with and assigning them a name and group (room). When I first bought these, I never would have guessed that I would still be using them after 2,300 days of pretty much daily use. They're also surprisingly durable, especially since my kids think it's easier to take bulbs from our bedroom ceiling fan to replace a burnt-out bulb than to go get a new one from the hardware closet. I've lost count of how many times I've had to hunt these bulbs down to put them back! An incandescent bulb would have failed probably on the first move. They also run cooler than a standard incandescent bulb, which I think is a big reason why they've lasted so long. All in all, these are the longest lasting light bulbs I've even had making this purchase one of my wisest investments and that never really dawned on me until I started this review. I've probably changed every other bulb in our house at least twice during the period I've owned these. If you're looking for Smart reliable light bulbs with a surprisingly long life and flawless operation, these are your answer. --- Product: Sengled Smart LED Soft White (Element Classic) Starter Kit, 2 A19 Bulbs + Hub, 2700K, 60W Equivalent, Works with Alexa, Google Assistant & IFTTT ASIN: B01N2TVDYQ
