Works great can change settings easily lots of features

I was able to successfully set 2 of these up in just a few minutes. It was key to link them to the FEIT app in a temporary lamp within a few feet of the WiFi router. Then I installed them on the front porch. Alexa picked them up automatically and all is good.

I've had these bulbs for almost 3 weeks and interchanged them with 2 other brands at times. I use Smart Life (aka Tuya) to control all my smart lights. Early responses to questions said these aren't compatible with Smart Life, maybe they are right, maybe they are wrong. Read on.Smart Life/Tuya will pair with these lights and control them just fine. The control panel in Smart Life is the Feit control panel so Smart Life has built-in the control interface for many different brands including FEIT. However the FEIT control app is not as good as you can schedule time on/off but not on at sunrise or at sunset and other more complex automation tasks that Smart Life can do.As other users mentioned, white is very bright, color mode not so bright but that's fine as I use color mode for holiday accent lighting. Color is still plenty bright in most situations.One of the two units I bought connected fine, the other would not connect no matter what I tried and they were 6 feet apart. Returned the one that wouldn't connect and got a replacement and it connected fine.Bottom line after two weeks of experimentation, if you just occasionally want to manually control these lights or set them on a color and use the regular light switch to turn them on/off, you would probably be one of the other 5-star users that aren't trying to setup sophisticated automation routines.Once connected, the Smart Life / Tuya app works fine with them so you can do smart automation tasks or have the ability to trigger tasks at sunrise or sunset or based on the weather (sunny/overcast). But you with the FEIT app control, you can't do those things, only basic schedule and time on/off, and color/brightness.UPDATE: After two months of use I came home and my Smart Life routines were failing yet all the devices were connected. I ended up having to reset and reconnect all my bulbs (most are not these FEIT bulbs) and add them back to my groups. Here is where it gets strange. With these FEIT bulbs, I went to reset and reconnect but unlike the other bulbs instead of manually deleting the bulb first and say you want to preserve the settings and not delete the bulbs data, a different prompt came up on the FEIT bulb after I disconnected asking if I wanted to delete it. I mistakenly said yes instead of removing it manually like the other bulbs. After I did that, my Smart Life app would always find the FEIT bulb (bulb stops blinking), but it always failed to add it to the network just like the problem I described at the beginning of the review that I couldn't connect one of the two bulbs I first bought. I even plugged the bulb in with 15 feet of my router. I've experimented with different pairing methods, using my wi-fi range extender and other things, including making sure there's no battery restriction on the app on my phone. Once it's "dead" and won't connect to the network, seems there's nothing you can do but replace the bulb!My theory is that the issues are not necessarily with these bulbs but with the Smart Life server. I think the MAC ID is not properly removed from the Smart Life server in some circumstances and it thinks you are trying to add a bulb that is already connected even though the error message is misleading in the wording saying it cannot connect to the WiFi router. That's definitely not the case. I even rebooted my router to clear all the connections just to make sure it wasn't my router.So again bottom line, these bulbs may eventually disconnect and depending on your particular circumstance (what software you use, what router you have, distance from router, how you delete the bulb, etc) you may not be able to re-connect the bulb without replacing it with a new one! Whether it's an issue with the bulb itself or the software I'll never know for sure. I just know starting with a new bulb fixes everything.

Easy setup - I used the Smart Life app from Tuya.I was replacing a CFL bulb from IKEA. I was pleasantly surprised at how bright this bulb is. Daylight setting is almost too bright! (I imagine it’s great if you want to illuminate!) I have it set on soft white 42%Fit great in the existing canister!

First smart bulb install? Me too!! Purchased these for my front porch downlighting. These were a 3 day straight nightmare to install! I did just about everything to troubleshoot. If I were to write each failure out- you'd read a 100 page book. BUT.. I will list a few things to help make it much easier- 1) Don't bother calling Feit for help... I called 5 times in 3 days- the 5 technicians in customer service read the same instructions you get from the box...and forget the special "smart bulb option" for help... these people have such heavy accents that they can't understand you nor you them. 2) If you have comcast/xfinity, don't bother them either unless you need to upgrade your modem/router (highly suggested- the newest upgrade is a white one).TIPS:1) upgrade your modem to the best!2) Have one 'pod' aka 'extender' within 12 feet of the downlight.3) If you upgrade your modem and have 1 pod close- you DO NOT NEED a dedicated 2.4ghz frequency! (This was a good majority of my headache! It was a pain to separate the frequencies and if you updated your modem to the strongest signal... the modem/router automatically finds the signal and pairs the lights for you. You DO NOT need to separate the 2.4g & 5ghz. AND you don't need to activate the WPS button either.4) YOU DO NOT NEED A HOTSPOT5) The directions are not clear on this... but if you are installing more than one downlight, (I had 3 on the same switch), only plug inone, sync & program ONE at a time. Don't even screw them in thinking your saving time- your not. You won't sync.6) Despite the directions saying you need a "slow, 3 second blink" before adding your wi-fi user name & password to sync (6 times flipping the light switch)... ONLY flip the switch 3 times- which makes it blink super fast! THEN add your wifi info to connect and follow the rest of the steps.7) This part was the worst... DO THIS BEFORE STARTING YOUR PROGRAMMING! After 3 days of constant repeated failed attempts and many colorful chosen words (trying not to curse and throw them in the trash)... I gave myself another time out and BAM! it came to me! (Light bulb on... pun intended) I had the light screwed in... BUT I had also put the downlight up IN the can before trying to program it! DUH! It's a solid metal can! I had the light in a 'Faraday cage'!!! No way was that going to get a signal & sync! Ugh! Sure enough! I went over, went back up the ladder, Pulled down the light, collapsed the springs, and kept the light screwed in...but it dangle down from the wires. AH-HA! SUCCESS! I HAD ALL 3 LIGHTS CONNECTED, PROGRAMMED WORKING IN 10 MINUTES! WHEW!* Now that it's done... I LOVE THESE THINGS! My neighbor across the street has them too and we play "light wars" and text back n forth! Hahaha! 🤣 SUPER FUN! 👌 👍
