I had some trepidation when at the LIFX manufacturing quality as the company's marketing is a startup that has a product. My doubts are gone when receiving the item. The bulb is of very good quality, the finishes are excellent. It is far from Chinese LED bulbs manufactured in conditions bordering on contempt for human rights ... After download of the app Android or IOS (bemol must ios8) and screw the bulb, the connection is super easy. The bulb is detected on the network in less than two minutes and ready for use. No need to have an add-on like Philips hue. The application is carried out with a screen to manage white tones (hot cold) and colors. In both cases, the intensity can also be adjusted with ease and simplicity. There are various options (flash, presence simulation, music) but I do not use them. It is worth noting that the bulb can be switched on and off without a smartphone (last setting), it becomes a "normal" light bulb. The light produced is of quality, the colors are bold and not washed out like with other products. The maximum light intensity is very high, the lamp can light up a room without a problem. Conclusion after two weeks of use: - A light bulb connected to good quality that makes what we ask to see more. I think given the price this is a good geek toy, far from essential - Like all connected objects, it depends 100% of the app and therefore what about future updates?
