I have to say I was pretty impressed at the design and performance of this bulb for the $14 it cost.Pros:setup was very easycolors were nice and vibrantlight was very even and smoothlots of white colorsCons:Not bright enough. These are easily 1/2 as bright as my Lifx bulbs. They advertise 850 lumens, but that is only using 1 range of white color, I'd estimate in the 5000-6000K range. In this range, they get very bright. But as soon as you go lower in the Kelvin scale on white or use any colors, the brightness drops significantly.Requires internet and the app to setup the bulb.Overall I would love the bulb if it was about 2x brighter.

It works in similar fashion to the smart bedside lamp from the same brand. The schedule, the brightness, and the warm and white color variations are fine. The rest of the RGB colors aren't as bright and, honestly, aren't needed. Almost one year of use without issues.It replaced a JDR halogen light bulb that was installed in a spotlight holder base. The problem with this base is that the thread is a little bit deep for regular light bulbs (A19). This one, BR30, was the only perfect replacement for it.One thing to note is that the brand doesn't have its own Windows OS app. But it works with Samsung's SmartThings app which is available on Android and Windows. So I can control it when I'm on my phone or my PC throughout the day. You have to create the "Scenes" on your phone as the app is simplified on Windows. The only downside with the SmartThings integration is that it signs off every few days and I have to login again through my phone.

Yeelight forces you to wait through ads on the app. Boy, I'd love to turn on my lights without watching an ad!

I sure this is more of a software/driver issue versus a hardware issue but this is the reason I purchased them and realize I should have spent the extra money on Philips Hue! If you haven't realized by now or a new to smart lighting I will assure you that you get what you pay for and Philips is hands down the best product on the market. Honestly Philips could name their price point as they are so far ahead every aspect of lighting quality they should be considered a monopoly that is how bad everything else is compared.
