LIFX Mini 800-Lumen LED Light Bulb (L3A19MC08E26) Multi Colored - 1 Pack, 120 volts, 9W - New

UPDATE: When I first purchased these bulbs in the Fall of 2028, the installation and set up was a pain, but since LIFX has continued to update and improve the process, I feel comfortable up-ing my review from 4 stars to 5. All-in-all, I would definitely purchase these bulbs again based on the research I’ve done on comparing them to Philip’s Hue and similar bulbs. These smart bulbs are great! They are BRIGHT and have s slew of features that make them fun to use and versatile (color cycle, music visualizer, “spooky,” etc...). And they work with Apple’s HomeKit (at least mine do… you may have to have newish ones). BUT they were difficult and frustrating to set up. I had to contact LIFX support to get help several times. (BTW, LIFX support was absolutely fantastic to deal with: prompt, generous, easy to work with and understand. They even sent me 2 bulbs to replace ones that I couldn’t get to work at all. Everyone I corresponded with was great, however Taber Dullea went above and beyond the expected. Kudos to you!) The bulbs will work fine for a while, then inexplicably loose their connectivity to the LIFX cloud and HomeKit. One piece of advice that I found helped a lot: set up the lights one at a time and when you’re located near your router. I happened to have a light bulb tester (basically a socket and a plug) and an on/off switch already, so I used those to set up each bulb one at s time. That helped a LOT! Putting the bulbs up in ceiling fixtures and then trying to set them up was a challenge.! You also CAN NOT use them with a dimmer! I had to take out the Lutron Caseta switches I had put in, which now i have no use for… so my LIFX installation was doubly expensive: new bulbs and switches AND my investment in the Caseta equipment is now sitting unused in the closet. Another disappointing revelation that didn’t dawn in me until I had them installed was you basically loose the convenience of walking into a room and flicking s switch to turn on your lights. The switch has to be left ON for the LIFX bulb to remain connected to the LIFX Cloud; if the switch is OFF there’s no way for the app to talk to the bulb. There are many workarounds to this (check out flic) and there's always the “Hey, Siri” voice control, but it’s just a little annoyance that I hadn’t included in my decision to buy these bulbs. LIFX releases updates to their iOS app as well as firmware upgrades regularly, and with each new firmware update, the lights work better.

I've purchased two of these but didn't leave a review until the third one here. I heard of "smart homes" but didn't think it was that interesting, until I learned about LED lights that could be set to any color. I chose the LIFX Mini Color as it had a middle price and didn't use a hub unlike other LED lights, which hasn't caused problems, even with the three lights in the same general area. (If a light doesn't respond, just turn it off then on using a light switch.) The lights are easy to set up. Install the LIFX app, then locate the light, give it your Wi-Fi password, and connect it to your LIFX account. From there, there are many things that can be done, such as: • Scheduling - LIFX's app has the ability to set times for lights or groups of lights to change colors and brightness to change. These can even be set based on sunrise/sunset. • Customization - Custom color/brightness combinations can be saved to a palette for easy use later on. As with other smart lights, saving groups of lights' current appearances as scenes is also possible. • Integrating with other services - I've only used Google Assistant and IFTTT, but both work perfectly with the lights. With IFTTT, for example, the lights can be set to specific hex-code colors or be set to flash based on events, turning my first light into an alert light. These lights definitely do a good job at displaying any color I want. In the app, there are two color wheels, one for natural light colors and another one for full-color selection. Additionally, the brightness can be fine-tuned to what percentage I want. If there's any small thing to point out here, it's that I can see the light abruptly change between colors every couple degrees around the color wheel, meaning the lights can't display every color, but they still have a very wide range of colors they can use! In conclusion, if you are thinking of starting the process of turning your home into a smart home, or just want to have full control of the lighting of a room, I recommend LIFX Mini Color lights.

I live in a small loft covered in white wallpaper. I decided to use lighting and plants to decorate the space. This is my third LIFX bulb and I am satisfied with my purchases. My other two are the regular LIFX bulbs. They work great and are easy to set-up and use without the need for a hub. The colors reflect well on the white wallpaper. The different color and brightness settings are good to have. The LIFX app is quite intuitive to use and the available scenes blend colors well. The LIFX bulb pairs easily with my Amazon Echo device and Apple HomeKit. I highly recommend investing in strategic lighting that doesn’t have to cost a lot. Use this with any of the good, affordable lamps at IKEA or any home goods store. It helps set the mood.

My wife and I got a couple of these bulbs as a gift for Christmas along with an Amazon Dot from the children who are trying to drag us into the technology age. They set up the first two bulbs do work with the Amazon Dot, and my Samsung phone, and a Harmony remote. It took almost two hours for them to set it all up to communicate and work together. The bulbs are just a bit smaller than an old style light bulb. I liked the bulbs, particularly the ability to change the color of the white light and to dim the lights either together or independently. The ability to choose any color is kinda cool as well. However we were running two torch style floor lamps with 100W equivalent single color LED white bulbs and as these were only 60W equivalent they did not give us the same brightness in our living room when both on full power. Apparently 60W is the highest these type of bulbs go at this time. Since I liked the concept and wanted to use the gift I purchased a triple lamp to replace on of our old ones and purchased more bulbs so I could get more light using more bulbs. I had a basic understanding of how the original bulbs were set up for me so when the new ones arrived I was ready to try to set them up using my Samsung Galaxy phone. Initially it went well with the LIFX software seeing the new lights and updating the firmware. I did run into a problem after that with both bulbs after that. The software would just go into a search loop when trying to locate the new bulbs on the network. It took some time but I found a solution on the LIFX forums. Apparently the software has a few kinks and one of them has to do with Android based devices. I found users with the same problem and eventually found a post I could understand about a possible fix. The fix was to go the the phone settings and turn off the mobile data function. Apparently this interferes with the device discovery of the bulbs. I can't explain it much better than that, but it worked like a charm. I clicked the mobile data off on my phone, reset the new bulbs by cycling them on and off 5 times. You then have to set them up again by finding them on the LIFX software. This time it found them on the network right away and they were added to my software control. Once you have setup all your lights go back in your phone settings and turn the mobile data back on. It does not affect your ability to operate the light once it is setup and other functions on your phone need this on to work I believe. I ended up liking these a lot more on the triple lamp as setting the bulbs to 3 different colors really creates a cool looking effect. I have included a few pics with the bulbs set on different colors. Overall this is a cool, although expensive light bulb, The price is largely due to the fact that they direct transmit to your wireless network without additional adapters or routers. I took one star away due to the networking issues with my Android phone as that added about 2 hours to my setup trying to figure it out. I'm lucky I found the post and answer that I did and hopefully this review helps someone else who runs into the same issue.

I should start by disclosing I already owned 2 LIFX Color 1000 bulbs prior to purchasing this. I was a little concerned that 800 lumens wouldn't be very bright, especially in a "fogged" acrylic lamp, but the reality was it performs beautifully. This light connected faster than the LIFX Color 1000s I own and was on my network in less than 5 minutes (plus firmware updates). First time buyers may have a longer setup time since you need to install the app and create an account, etc. Since this is a full color, dimmable bulb, parents out there probably recognize that light hurts when you have to get up 4+ times in the night to comfort/feed your newborn. My wife and I have this set to a deep red at about 20-25% brightness and it makes it easy to see at night while moving around the room without destroying our eyes. This requires a smartphone to change the light on the fly, otherwise you could toggle it on a light switch after setting it and it will remember what it was set to last (so you don't have to burn your eyes looking at your smartphone!). If you want to toggle from your phone, I highly recommend snagging the Twilight (Android specific?) app. It's a blue light filter for your smartphone and it takes a lot of inspiration from f.lux (desktop blue light filter).

Among many of our favorite amazon purchases!!! We originally purchased one from Best Buy for my daughters room which they got for the “coolness” of Its effects and being able to change a variety of colors but also that it could be integrated with Alexa which I use very often when I walk by their room and see they left their light on I simply ask Alexa to turn it off and it’s off! I loved that feature alone so much so that I bought 1 for my room & because I love the integration with Alexa and this lightbulb so much I then bought it for my Godson who has told me that everyone in his home also now wants one! And the more recent one I purchased was for my oldest daughter rooms! I think the lightbulb on its own with the phone controlled app would probably be ok but the thing that seals the deal for me and makes the price worth it is this smart bulb paired with Alexa! It’s the modern day clap on clap off light! This light bulb is a little more than a multicolored bulb but it offers different modes you can set the light to come different colors different times of the day, you can set it to be sound responsive and it also has several pre-set modes! A good buy we use in our home daily!

purchased two of these last night to fit them into sconces for my front door, and side door lights. this makes my 40th lifx bulb purchased. yep, 40. i did have a tiny bit of trouble setting these up as opposed to the BR30 and A19 variants, but i love these bulbs too much to dock a star. i was an early adopter and tried out the hue bulbs when they first came out, and though i read that the issue has now been resolved for the most part, the early generation philips hue bulbs were ATROCIOUS at color reproduction. because of their choice of going with unconventional color combinations to achieve a brighter white light, they abandoned the traditional RGB (red/green/blue) and went with a more CMY approach, (actually magenta/violet/lime in hue's case), they could not reproduce any sort of true green, blue or any of the spectrum in between (cyan/aqua/teal etc were all out of the question). so i remembered that i backed LIFX bulbs on kickstarter before, and they seemed really promising. full disclosure: i pulled out of my backing for that project because near the end the project creator started answering questions less and less, used computer renderings of bulbs as "prototypes" etc and basically to me, seemed to be kinda shady so i lost faith in it. thought LIFX was another overblown kickstarter vaporware. SO WRONG. i bought 4 LIFX bulbs as a test a few years ago and immediately fell in love, and having purchased my own home more than a year ago i instantly replaced all of my living room, kitchen and sitting room (common areas) lights with LIFX BR30 bulbs (replacing the dull recess cans, it's pretty easy to find trims here on amazon that fit them perfectly). i loved it so much i also ended up buying more of their A19 bulbs to outfit my bedroom light, and random floating/floor fixtures. the two minis that i bought last night were the last LIFX purchases i made but definitely not the final ones. they've worked consistently, respond to google assistant and android app control flawlessly. i see people reviewing that the bulbs aren't operating consistently, or syncing correctly etc. might want to check out your network. i had spotty performance too before i swapped my router out for google wifi. with 180mbps+ speed throughout my entire house, lifx has been smooth as silk. some samples of how i use them: - with IFTTT, i set my outdoor lights to automatically fade on at 6PM and off at 8AM to keep my exterior lit. - with IFTTT i fade my decor fixtures on as i get within 100yd of my home and off once i'm 100yd away. - with google home i just say "hey google, set living room lights to 80% brightness (or desired %) and i instantly create the right atmosphere. - with google home i just say "hey google, set bedroom lights to warm/incandescent/cool white or sky blue depending on my mood. - with abode (home security) i set the bulb directly over my bed to blink at max brightness if someone opens my front door when i'm sleeping. - there are a lot more things that i really don't have the time to list. but LIFX bulbs are now an integral part of my life. my boyfriend was at first hesitant and found smart devices annoying and complicated to learn. now neither of us ever touch a light switch, or even really use the app...voice control is that much better (and easier)

This bulb, and this "generation" of bulbs, are not compatible with Windows. They say that 99% of their customers have access to iOS or Android, so they've discontinued support for Windows. This is IDIOTIC. Every single person who was any part of that decision should be fired, and never again entrusted with any responsibility. . The vast majority of your customers use laptops at home. And the vast majority of THEM are using Windows. NOBODY WANTS TO WALK AWAY FROM THEIR LAPTOP, PICK UP THEIR PHONE, AND OPEN AN APP EVERY TIME THEY NEED TO USE THEIR FREAKING LIGHT BULB. NOBODY ON EARTH. Let's also be clear: the Android app has never worked. I have eight older bulbs, and I had to install each of them using Windows. I've tried their app on multiple tablets and phone. To onboard a bulb, only Windows and iOS worked; now only iOS works. I realize there are one or more LIFX employees who read and respond to reviews. So let me say, yes, I'm going to return this; but I'm deeply resentful of the fact that I wasted hours of my life because LIFX wasn't honest enough to say "iOS ONLY" in big letters. Please notify your employers that their decision to stop supporting Windows is going to annihilate their business; feel free to quote my second paragraph. And please inform them that, all over the internet, in every discussion group, there are hundreds of people saying that Android cannot onboard LIFX bulbs. They should really look into that.

Cuando las compre no decía que tanta luz dan. Son 800 lumenes consume 9w e ilumina como uno de 60w. En mi caso suficiente para donde los coloque. Al inicio cuestan configurarlo con la aplicación LIFX tiene un buen de opciones. Parpadean al ritmo de la música. Al instalar IFTTT las puedes configurar para que al llegar a la casa se enciendan todas o alguna y al salir se apaguen todas. La integración con Alexa excelente. Con Google no la probé. Y con HomeKit como que se desconecta y aun no doy con el por qué lo hace. Aunque tienes mucho menos opciones HomeKit que la app de LIFX

Al principio tenia mis dudas debido a que son la versión mas pequeña de los grandes, sin embargo estos focos cumplen con excelencia lo que ofrecen, sin duda son focos que alumbran más que marcas mas caras.

Es muy fácil de usar y de instalar, es totalmente compatible con HomeKit y la intensidad de luz es muy buena, lo recomiendo totalmente y es uno de los mejores en el mercado.

Compre este foco y otros dos de otras marcas. Y realmente es un foco excelente de muy buena calidad de brillos y colores increíbles. Supera pero por mucho a focos de marcas reconocidas. Es un poco caro lo sé pero vale lo que cuesta. Lo recomiendo

Es un foco super excelente, con diversos colores. Quizás la luz blanca un poco por debajo de los focos convencionales pero sin ningún problema alumbra una recamara. Recomendado 😀
