Customer Ratings & Reviews

----- Summary ----- Pros: - Dimmable - Scheduled/automated lighting - Controllable via app or voice - Energy Efficient Cons: - None ----- Review ----- Setup: In the box, you will find the SmartThings Smart Bulb and the instruction/safety information. After downloading the SmartThings app, I replaced a standard lightbulb in one of my lamps at home with the Smart Bulb, then I turned the lamp on. The Smart Bulb flashed twice, which is the indication that the bulb is ready to pair. From there, I just used the SmartThings app and its easy on-screen instructions to pair the Smart Bulb. Once complete, the bulb flashed once, and it was ready to go. I cannot imagine the process being any quicker or easier. Design: Although the Smart Bulb is shaped like a standard lightbulb, the bottom half, even beyond the screw, is made out of a metallic material. The top half is plastic, like many other LED bulbs. The light produced by the Smart Bulb is just as good as a standard lightbulb, if not better, and the incorporation of LED in the Smart Bulb makes it more energy efficient than standard bulbs. In addition, the ability to schedule lighting or receive alerts if the lights are accidentally left on can further assist with saving electricity. Features: The Smart Bulb enables a variety of different features that a standard lightbulb cannot provide. For example, the integration with the SmartThings app allows for automation or scheduling. My Smart Bulb is set to turn on automatically at a certain time each day. However, it is also possible to turn on the Smart Bulb when a SmartThings supported motion sensor detects movement. With Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, the Smart Bulb can be controlled with voice, including turning on/off the bulb or dimming/brightening it. I have found that all these features work flawlessly for me. Verdict: Looking to get more out of your lightbulbs? Something seemingly as simple as a lightbulb can provide more than just light. After my positive experience with the Smart Bulb, I plan to replace all my standard bulbs at home to enable even more automation and convenience. I would recommend giving one a try to see what a Smart Bulb can do for you.

The positive is that it was easy to link this bulb to my hub. The negative is that it physically broke in 6 months. I used it in a partially enclosed fixture in my back yard and one day the glass separated from the metal base. I had to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the base from the socket. I tried to place a warrantee with Samsung but was denied. I didn't try to appeal as it took too much time as it was for a $10 light bulb.

=== The Review === The SmartThings Smart Bulb, for the price group it's in, is a simple and nice smart bulb. Its brightness level is acceptable and normal (~800 lumen), it's dimmable, and it can be scheduled to turn on or off easily via the easy-to-use SmartThings app. Voice control is possible as well through the Google Assistant/Google Home app and Samsung Bixby AI assistant (for Samsung phone owners). Compared to other smart bulbs that connect via a hub, however, I found one feature to be missing - bulb statistics such as Power Consumption, Online Time, Power Cycles, and Power. This isn't a critically important feature but it would've been nice to include inside the SmartThings app. With that said, the bulb works well and it carried out its essential duties very well including automation commands. The pricing is good value as well. Good stuff. _____ *Pros: -Easy installation and setup. -Also compatible with Google Assistant/Google Home & Samsung Bixby. -Dimmable between 1% to 100%. -$9.99 is great price for a smart LED bulb. -Stable & reliable connection & operation inside my home. -I like the 2700K color. It blends well with my other lighting around the house. _____ *Neutral: -I wish it was a bit brighter, like 1000 lumen. -Can't be placed too far away from the SmartThings hub. _____ *Cons: -Doesn't show detailed bulb statistics.

Setting for Samsung SmartThings A19 LED bulb took me less than 3 minutes. Compatible with Alexa and Google to be controlled by voice as well as through Google home app, I'm not a big investor in Bixby. Energy efficient and bright with ability to dim by voice or via smart app on IOS and Android devices. price is kind of comparable to what it is already available in the market. however, it is good quality and works flawlessly so far.

The Samsung SmartThings White A19 LED Bulb was very easy to add to my SmartThings home network. With the downloaded SmartThings app on my iPad, adding the Bulb required a tap on "Add Device" and then a scan of the QR code on the side of the Bulb. The Smart Bulb shows up on the app as a visual card which can be tapped for turning the light on or off. After adding the Smart Bulb I was able to configure the security settings of the Home Monitor to automatically turn on the light when motion is detected in my home office. Aside from requiring some techie configuration of the SmartThings app, the Smart Bulb works great.

Was very easy to setup up in the SmartThings app (just scan the barcode on the bulb) and follow the onscreen instructions. Once that's done you can control the light easily from the app and then set the dim/brightness. Very nice warm light. You can also control with Google or Alexa and if you use a SmartThings hub you can add it to routines like if a motion sensor triggers or a smart lock opens then it can automatically turn on the light etc.

These are extremely high quality light bulbs. The only problem is that they are so popular they are impossible to find and when you do you are limited to usually buying only two. I have a few of these bulbs and then ended up buying some eight packs of Sengled lights which also work with the SmartThings hub. The Sengled lights are slightly cheaper when bought in the eight pack. These bulbs destroy the Sengled bulbs, currently the only two smart bulbs that are sub $10 range. The color is so much softer but yet brighter and they respond quicker, although this may be due to the device handlers in the hub. These light bulbs as so easy to set up that you just open the app, add a the bulb device, point the camera at it to get the id, screw the bulb in, it blinks twice and it's ready. You can reset the bulb by blinking it on and off by the physical switch a bunch of times real quick if it doesn't pair right away. It will blink a few more times, then you can try again. I didn't need to do this but I tried it on both the two brands just to see how easy it would be to reset them. It is easy, so you could probably reset them by accident if you forget that you shouldn't use the switches anymore. I tried to hide or remove as many of them as I could to prevent this from happening or from a light randomly not coming on because the switch is off.

This smart bulb is easy to set up and very convenient to use. The SmartThings app automates setup. All you need is a SmartThings hub, app and the QR code to scan from the bulb's packaging. You can easily set the dimmer level of the bulb from the app, as well as check the power consumption. The only problem I have with the bulb is it will frequently disconnect from the hub and need to be manually re-connected, even if it's located in the same room as the hub. You can avoid having to reconnect it manually if you set the hub to "non secure" mode, but this wouldn't be necessary if the bulb would just remain connected in the first place.

I purchased two of these for my basement. I have combined them with smartthings motion sensors to trigger lighting. It's worked really well for my exercise area and I have a smart speaker to control them as well. As other reviews mentioned, the bulbs are a bit more yellow than many other brands. They are much brighter than what I replaced though. I had some 8 year old LEDs down there and this is significantly better. The bulb flickers when first powering up as an indication it's ready to pair with the smartthings hub and I've seen it do it when it turns on as well. This may annoy some people. As far as pairing, they have stickers that you scan with QR codes. You can remove the sticker and place it in the fixture in case you need to rescan it. They're not very big. It was pretty easy to do in the smartthings app and similar to their other products. The bulb is comparable to other smaller bulbs and much smaller than early LEDs with the huge heatsinks. It should fit fine in most fixtures. I was able to get alexa and google assistant to work with them through the smartthings integrations too.

Great bulb overall, no issues at all. Very smooth and easy setup, have tried many different brands but Samsung no doubt has the easiest. Not sure why all bulbs don't just use a QR Code system, makes it alot easier to sync. Works with my Smartthings WiFi/Hub perfectly, no lag or connection issues. Additionally able to use on Google Home app as well and full Google assistant functionality with my phone and Google home mini. Only wish there was a bigger selection and variety of bulbs, would definitely invest in more

I bought this to install in my bedroom lamp. It works as intended and since it's a SamrtThings product, it connects easily to my SmartThings hub. This bulb has a soft tone but it is also pretty bright. I wish Samsung made a daylight version of this bulb.

this is a smartthings lightbulb, and our first smart bulb. as we already had smartthings this was easier than adding any other hub or apps. it was easy to install and add to smartthings, and so far we have had no problems or complaints.

These bulbs are easy to connect to my smart hub. They are the best bulbs for floor lamps that are not connected to a wall switch. I have had several brands of Zigbee, and Wifi bulbs. I have found Samsung smart bulbs ar the most reliable with the Samsung Smart hub. Both Alexa and google smart home have no problem with control if then on demand.

I use to go with another brand which at the time was the cheapest if you just wanted a regular soft white smart bulb. That was until I heard of this. Great price, uses Zigbee protocol (which I findore consistent than Z-wave) and worked seamlessly with my other SmartThings products and Google's Assistant as well. Would recommend!

Bulb is great for a light source but needs a Smart Things hub for connectivity. The box said it works with Alexa and since it is a Smart Things device I figured it would work with the phone/TV app. Nope. While setting it up the app told me that this device required a Smart Things hub. Not going to spend more money for a hub. I bought an Amazon Alexa-enabled plug for the lamp and was in business in just a few minutes.

I had previously bought some Sengled bulbs off Amazon but they did not interact with Smartthings well and frequently disconnected and would not run my routines. These work perfectly with no hiccups.

they worked ok but Bluetooth bulbs are not the best because you can only turn it on and off at home, not while you’re away, so I don’t like that but the bulbs themselves work great. I couldn’t get it connected to Google home so could only turn it on and off from the app, so I was the only one in the house that could turn the lights on and all because I had the app. they are fine now but I just bought Wi-Fi bulbs that make things a lot easier, but I did have trouble connecting these.

Installation is no different than a regular light bulb and adding it to your SmartThings controller is a breeze. Screw it in, turn it on and tap add in the SmartThings app. Bulb works just as good as more expensive ones at a much cheaper price. Will definitely be buying more!

This bulb is a great value in my opinion. Works through the SmartThings hub and app for adjusting the brightness and on/off. Can power the lamp on and off through the normal light switch on the wall and it remembers the last brightness setting. If you have more than one bulb, you can group them together and turn them on and off and adjust the brightness through one setting in the SmartThings app. Add a SmartThings button and operate all the lamps from the button or the app. Lamp operates cooler than the energy efficient A19 fluorescent bulb it replaced. Needs a good connection to the wireless network to work properly with the SmartThings hub for dimming and on/off operation through the app.

Best Value Smart Bulb. Keep in mind that you need hub to operate this bulb. Liked features Dimmable, Scheduled or automated lighting, Controllable via app or voice, Low Cost of Energy.
