Ultimate Smart Light Bulb Comparison: Finding the Best

M looking for linked

Using Hue for 8 years. Not one malfunction. Yeelight and such, 2-3 years start to make problems. And even not to mention the bad connection in yeelight.

Hell no I KNOW you didn’t award Wiz 1st place…

Either I’m legit sleeping on them or it def doesn’t match up to my standards on what I’m looking for

Wich of them is less sweet for cool and warm whites?

I have the Wiz bulbs and since updating to the wizV2 app they unsync and then do not re-sync since apparently my internet is 5ghz only.. even though they previously synced without issue

What about linkind? Why dont you ever review linkind?

Which ones have the best dimming? I use a smartbulb on a schedule to wake up in the morning and for a nightlight before bed. I've noticed that cheaper bulbs don't get very dim and the brightness transition is not smooth at all

Great video very informative. I would love to see an updated video of the same topic, but I i think it would be beneficial to include the bulbs that are safe to use in an enclosed fixture

Literally, the only category that matters to me is how often it disconnects. I bought some Feit ones and every 40 days they disconnect themselves from the app/Google home and I have to set them up again. Drives me nuts.

Started buying the C by GE ones and they work great, fast to connect to wifi once powered on, never disconnect from the app, but they're super expensive

Why didnt you test flicker? Most smart bulbs flicker, especially when dimmed, and can cause eye strain.

👍👍👍

That power outage thing really highlights, one of the shortcomings of amart

Govee is good because you can connect with Bluetooth. I can't use my nanoleaf or lift anymore as i changes my wifi at home with a different router 5g

What about eye safty data.

Are newer Hue bulbs any better? Their CRI is showing 80 still from what I saw whereas newer LIFX are showing a CRI of 90, and Sengled are all 90. I'm wondering if they've updated their lights or something.

Brightness and color accuracy are the most important factors for me because there are only so many can lights in any house. But I really hate LIFX's reliability which is why I'm watching all your bulb comparison videos. I was hoping IKEA, Sengled, or Hue could compete with LIFX at some point :(.

Which one of these bulb would achieve that orange sunset ambient color? Im struggling to find that brand!

Incredible video man! Great job! Great shots!

My color wiz died after less than a year

Any idea if the cree bulb would work at 100V?

Any plans to make an update for bulbs in 2024?

I've owned Hue bulbs for a long time, even have a newer version set. THEY ARE NOT reliable. They often turn on or off for no reason. Sometimes they go into a flashing state. They even stop working altogether once in a while. I continue to use them because 1. I paid so much for them, and 2. the color is fantastic.

5 stars for Hue comparability?
While they make their bridge necessary for HomeKit or Smartthings?

All I'm trying to find is a zigbee bulb compatible with home assistant that has auto changing presents (like fading through colors, twinkling, blinking etc)

Do you notice any light flickering when filming these lights? Would they be an option as practical light for filmmaking??

Where’s Philips?

In his comparison he states that LIFX might be preferred over Hue because it doesn't need a bridge. Philips Hue doesn't require a bridge either, its only needed if you want to connect like 10 bulbs.

Any updates to this list?

If anyone pays 50 dollars for a light bulb, you’re a fool.

As someone who bought many Hue bulbs, I can confirm they are the LEAST reliable bulbs. You’re better buying cheap smart bulbs from anyone else than wasting your money on Hue bulbs. You get just average colors, 80CRI, and a 1-3 year average lifespan, 4+ in rare instances.

I’ve always had the occasional need to do a quick troubleshoot moment to fix my Hue system to get control of my lights. About 8 months ago that completely stopped with some updates, and now I have to factory reset everything to get it working again. So tired of Hue.

What is “power on state”

Phillips hue is awful and overpriced ❤

Thanks, very helpful.

Where can I buy this at; and what’s the name of this device?

Only problem is can't find where to buy someo of these anymore.

Lifx user here its great beautiful colors and brightness

Updates please

What’s power on state?

great vid

Ketra is high end. wyze and philips A tier at most

which one support voltage 220v? Besides HUE

For those looking into getting some smart bulbs, I personally recommend getting ones that are controlled by a remote and do not need WiFi so you can avoid the inevitable frustrating troubleshooting that will come with WiFi connected smart bulbs.

Can you advise me what the absolute brightest+saturated bulb is? for me, a bulb should be super bright and have super good colors. I don't care about special stuff, just that i can change from rgbw with the brighrst possible colors. thanks

The test is super great!!! A lot of useful info included!! Thanks for helping me choose the right lighting for home!!

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HAS *DUMB BULBS* IN EVERY LAMP IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Are there ANY rgb light bulb that are NOT tuya compatible? that damn Tuya in HA in craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....p

I really want a smart bulb I think it would look cool on my 5 ft put together lamp post

Can we get an updated list soon? I know most will probably be similar, but a lot of the links aren't working! Would love to support the channel!
