Customers are saying

Customers praise the LIFX Mini Color A19 for its vivid colors, ease of use, and straightforward setup. The app is also frequently cited as a positive aspect, and many appreciate its compatibility with other smart home devices. However, some users mention connectivity challenges and note that the product is on the expensive side. While a hub is not required, this is not a universally highlighted feature.

    I got one bulb for a lamp in my living room. Once I got the app and understood how to use it I was really impressed at how I could change the bulb to any shade of white or any color for that matter. The bulb is also dimming and connects to your home network to further connect to Apple HomeKit and Siri, and also Alexa and google. A few months later I ended up getting several more bulbs. When I get home I can tell Siri or Alexa “turn on downstairs lights” or I can set the mood for relaxing or watching a movie simply by saying dim lights to 30% and make color blue. Very fun and functional Lights.

    These lifx smart bulbs are a great and cheap option to optimize your home and turn it into a smart home. they are very bright and cost less than the hue lights bulb, their greatest benefit is that you don't need a hub to make them work. They connect to the WiFi individually to function. Although this is what sets it apart it is also the reason they are being held back. having multiple of these bulbs will saturate your router (WiFi) because each one of them needs to be connected to the WiFi at all times. So replacing your while house with these lights might not be a good idea. They are great for small offices, rooms, table lamps and such environments. The hue lights are great because only the hub has to be connected to the WiFi, therefore you can have more than 10 light bulbs in the house and only one device connected to the WiFi and that operates them all. Having said that the Lifx are still a great option for those seeking for a cheaper more convenient but just as good smart lighting option for their room, office or even a coffe table lamp.

    I really like this light bulb. The setup was really easy and it looks super cool! I have all kinds of schedules set on mine so at 6am it wakes me up with a bright white light and at 10pm it turns to a really dim purple before turning off at 2am while im asleep. My apartment is pretty small so i love how much it lights up the place. Definitely Worth the buy.

    I hope the price of these smart bulbs starts dropping soon. It's just counter-intuitive to spend $30+ for a light bulb--but--this is more than just a light bulb. Setup is a piece of cake with the Lifx app. Works perfectly with Google Assistant. No hub required. More color choices than you can use in a lifetime. Dim/Bright/Color/Effects are all fun. I took one star off because I just wish they were cheaper, but in terms of functionality, they've been flawless. So LIFX: Shut up and take my money. I'll be back for more of these.

    Replaced some small 40w CLF lights with LIFX - Mini 800-Lumen, 9W Dimmable A19 LED Light Bulb, 60W Equivalent - Multicolor. Three bulbs as part of a kitchen island group. I'm able to "group" them to turn on the kitchen lights all at once. The switch was in an out of the way place, so this is a nice improvement: "Hey, Siri, turn on the kitchen lights!" You can change to different colors to set a mood. The setup was painless. I have an Apple HomePod (Siri) set-up. Using your smart phone, you can scan a code on a card that comes with bulbs (each code is specific to a bulb). You can then group the bulbs to function as one with commands. In my set, one bulb is often a little slower to respond and today it didn't turn on with the others and the app said it wasn't responding, I unscrewed it and screwed it back in and it worked again. Will keep my eye on that one as these are expensive bulbs. So there can be a few "bugs." See images.

    I love the LIFX smartlight. Very easy to set up and they link with amazon Alexa very well. I literally own 16 bulbs and the LED strip. I can’t wait to finishing placing more through the house!

    These lights fit in places where other smart bulbs cannot for they are small in size. Brightness of color at 1% is still adequate. And brightness at 100% is super Vivid and rich in color.

    I have several LIFX products and overall, I'm very happy with them. Their brightness and saturation are second to none, including the more expensive Phillips Hue. I use this mini multicolor bulb in my desk lamp. It works great, now that I have it set up. I've found that all LIFX bulbs are quite temperamental to get configured. It takes me an average of three times to get a bulb recognized and fully configured using the app. It's extremely frustrating. But once they're set up, they've been extremely reliable for me so far.

    The absolute best money can buy

    I've officially tried every major brand of smart bulb and none of them come anywhere close to LiFx. The app is better, the colors are brighter, the integrations are more complete. I could go through and list the individual shortcomings of the other brands but I think just saying that they have them and this has none should cover it. My absolute favorite thing is the "themes" where it splits multiple bulbs into individual colors to form a "mood" with one button. I've yet to see anything where the individual products play off of each other in a unique way to form a larger experience. Yes they're expensive. I wait until they're on sale and grab as many as possible. If you're going to do smart lighting why do it half way.

    Absolutely love it.. the only complaints I have are at times it’s a bit difficult to connect, which may just be an app failure, and it’s not very bright.. so if all you’re looking for is mood lighting, highly recommend.. if it’s a sole light source, it may leave you wanting. Overall, very happy with this purchase!

    Light bulb is awesome once you are able to connect it to Alexa. The instructions are not so easy to follow. You are better off checking with Alexa app for help. Otherwise love the different shades of tones Alexa can set the light too.

    I have 26 lifx bulbs running with Apple HomeKit. Various shapes and sizes including the tiles. Even my outside house lights are lifx. Was buying direct from lifx. This is first I got from Best Buy. These bulbs work with any home automation or just the lifx app itself. Best Buy has other lights on their displays but rest assured that lifx works with everything and customer support is great. If you write code they also have a strong developer forum. Highly recommend lifx.
