Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you're reading this review what you honestly want to know is should I buy this light bulb, right? The short answer is, it depends, and here's why. In a world of complicated tech this light bulb is kind of refreshing. It's like the Showtime grill of smart bulbs, you simply, "set it and forget it". No apps to worry about, no networks none of that. If you only have one, just screw it in and you're done. If you have 2, make sure the channels (letters on the front) are on the same on both, screw them in and walk away, you're done. Sounds like a no brainer to get these right? Well hold on a second because these bulbs do have one "intentional" quirk, that I, for one, just can't understand and it was the main reason for me not to use them. The quirk is that once it detects motion, it never turn back off completely. It just dims to about 25% and stays on. Now at first I thought I just had a defective bulb until I went out and bought 2 more. Nope, they all do the exact same thing. They real kicker is that they also stay that way until you reset them. Just to clarify, if it detects motion again, it does turn all the way on, the problem is that it never turns all the way off. I'm not sure who in engineering thought that this was a good idea, but it kind of defeats the purpose, at least for me, which is really disappointing because the concept is great, just not the execution. Now for some people this won't be a big deal, but for me, it was really super annoying. Bottom line, it's simple. Light bulbs are supposed to be able to do 3 things. Turn on, illuminate something and then turn off. Unfortunately, this lightbulb only does 2 out of the 3. Do these bulbs work as advertised? Yeah, for the most part they do. They detect motion, are pretty bright, link together easily, don't need a network or an app and are safe for outdoor use. They just don't turn off. Granted they are LED's so electricity won't be an issue, but again, for me having everything still lit up was. Do I recommend this? Not for me.
