1. loved the shipping. ive received many bulbs recently broken, but these sturdy bulbs are packaged well. I dont expect many to break during shipping2. slight learning curve when connecting as there seems to be with most smart lights, but once I got the hang of the repetitive process is was very simple.3. work well with alexa4. GREAT value

Love having inexpensive, RGB bulbs that work with Google home and Assistant. The Govee app is excellent, and the integration with Google Assistant/Home is great, but has one issue:You can get a lovely range of whites and all other colors, but Google's preset whites don't play well with the Govee bulbs.Through Google, bright white is really light blue. Soft white is light pink. White is light lavender. If you go through the Govee app and set the color to soft, bright, or normal white, they look amazing--but if you didn't know you could set them through the app, you'd regret your purchase.This is only an issue when I ask Google to set my lights to a certain color, once I want them to be white again, I have to open the app and change it back, or else deal with sickly blue-light-infused white, or pink-tinted white.If you leave them on a white color set in the Govee app, they remember that color, and using Google to turn them off and on or change the brightness is never an issue.All in all? If you don't mind having to go into the app to get nice white colors once you want to change back from other colors (or don't use other colors much, like I do), these bulbs are great

Overall, these are pretty cool. The warm to cool lighting is great, easy set up, colors are super vivid. The only wish I have is that the timer on the app works for more than just turning the light on. I originally purchased this to operate similar to a hatch kids light and a gradual light alarm. I had to do some serious programming through Alexa to get it to almost how I'd like, but it was super difficult. I wish I could set a timer and a specific light changed color. Also, figuring out the app, and setting up a scene with multiple bulbs in their app is pretty difficult. So far it seems it only allows for one color with this particular bulb. I think more features are available on the more expensive bulb but it would be so easy to do it through the app if they allowed it. If they improved the usability of the app, I would give 5 stars!

I've been using Hue bulbs since probably 2016? This year I started upgrading my other lights to Govee and grabbed one of these to make it easier to control all my bedroom lights. I think my Hue might have been a little bit brighter, but for a bedroom lamp that doesn't really matter. The different modes on this bulb are so much fun. You can use the different music and dreamview modes to sync with other Govee lights, but I find most of the bulb settings to be too fast or flashy and operate the bulb separately. I wish you could customize the speed or remove the flashes like you can on the rope light. With so many modes to choose from, this really isn't a big deal. I love being able to control everything with Alexa, iPhone shortcuts, or the app. I keep this bulb near a hanging plant and was worried about the temperature, even after hours of use there hasn't been any heat.

These are probably the bast you're going to get without spending the money for the Hues. I bought four bulbs for my fan and they work great. I had previously bought another brand that was so frustrating, they would all turn off/on in intervals if at all. So far these light all work in sync. The Alexa integration is great, Alexa picks them up before you even finish setting them up.

Govee has a great App. With the WiFi connected lights you can control your set up from anywhere. I've been using various Govee products for years and am very happy with the quality, ease of set up, and the operation- in a practical sense. Highly recommend.

I watched a youtube vlog that had a Govee light strip in it and I was like, I need to check them out. Bought it and loved it. Next I wanted to replace my hue bulbs with ones that didn't require a hub. Happy to find that Govee has that under control too. I love these bulbs. I now have a gradient of color in the corner of my office and a bright light above me. The app is super easy to use too.

I bought these for my home music studio to add to the Govee LED light strips I have wrapped around the room. My girlfriend liked them so much we decided to install them in our living room lamps instead. We have a superhero theme in the living room (Favorites are Superman (me)/Wonder Woman (her) so we setup a DIY light scene where one light is red and the other blue with effects. I can also say, "Alexa, turn my living room lights soft white." so I have proper reading light without strain. I could nerd out on this review for hours haha. Needless to say this isn't my first Govee purchase, and it won't be my last!

Great product and amazing customer service and app! 100x better than sylvania's!Only con is that this is an rgb bulb without a dedicated white only led therefore some colors do not come out as the app says they should. Certainly not a deal breaker as you can adjust the color and light temp to get the desired color.

The lights overall are great. What would make them amazing is in the Smarts tab of the app, you can select the same color for multiple lights, but not the same scene. If I want the gradient scene, I have to go in and select it for each one, well now they are all cycling at different intervals. Make scenes available in the smarts section of the app, then it would be amazing!
