What owners and buyers said
Copied word for word, each beside the pick it is about.
Once connected, I typically control the bulb through my Alexa app, which I find works really well for changing colors, adjusting brightness, and switching between different scene modes.
Installation/setup was easy. I like that i can control these with the app or my Alexa. The bulb brightness/dim option is great as well as the color options/choice.
The bulbs have worked great. They're easy to set up and use. I like being able to control the brightness easily and changing the colors from my phone.
I recently swapped out all my smart bulbs for these Linkind WiFi bulbs specifically to solve that problem, and the difference in reliability is night and day.
