Bought some of these last week
http://shop.easybulb.com/shopThe same as Phillips Hue but a lot cheaper. You also have to buy a wireless controller that requires a onetime set up (via the app) to connect it to your wireless. Then once done following the instructions on the app to add your bulbs and all done.
You get 16 million colours, dimming, mood lighting and it will pulse to music. You can also set a bulb or bulbs up to flash if your phone rings and set timers for when you’re away. Also a bulb can be set up as a night light for a kids room, it will dim over time until turning off.
Lights can be controlled from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. The app also has a white button which you can press if you get sick of colours to quickly return the bulbs to normal colour.
I bought 10 bulbs in total with 5 going into bedrooms and the hall and the other 5 into wall lights in the lounge. If I’m honest the 5 in the lounge get the most use, I find them really good for watching films, I set them to a “white blue” then dim them and find that this really enhances the TV picture whilst still providing enough light to see what you are doing if you need to leave the room.
Some things to note with these though…
For some reason they don’t provide a plug with the wireless adaptors, you get a USB cable. Whilst this hasn’t been an issue for me as I replaced a lot of power sockets with new ones that have USB in them, you would need a phone charger USB plug to power them in many cases.
Setting the app on other devices can be confusing, when you do the first time set up you are required to give your wireless adaptor a name. So in my case I have 2, living room and play room. When you set the app up on an additional device, these wireless adaptors are just called Easy Bulb, so you have to work out which one corresponds to the named controller on the device you did the setup on. Once I realised this it was very quick and easy to add other control devices.
I’m currently replacing every bulb in the house with LED, don’t think I will get more of these as they are around £12 each and not sure I need the function everywhere.
All in all very good lights for the money
