Let me preface this review by saying that at the moment I do not have any smart home hub that supports Zigbee technology so I am unable to test that side of this product which is its main selling point. Once I do get it I will update the review.At first, I was unsure how to get this lightbulb working, it seemed as if I would be able to control it via my phone, but only by reading thoroughly, I realized that this requires a special separate hub that supports Zigbee technology.Why yet another technology, why couldn't it have been WiFi since it is present everywhere. Well upon research I found out that Zigbee is a better communication protocol for smart home appliances as the devices have to use extremely low power to send data which increases battery life drastically,and the devices are doubling as communication mesh where the signal can piggyback over 64,000 devices before reaching the target device.Thankfully this is not the only product that supports Zigbee, actually, there are a lot of products that support Zigbee technology which is good to know as I usually do not like niche technologies and products as it locks you to a particular ecosystem and is not very modular.From the perspective of normal use case without Zigbee technology, I am not very happy with the way this bulb works. If you do not have any other way of controlling the bulb but the basic switch, this bulb does not behave normally, rather it cycles through the 4 colours every time you turn it on to notify you that it has not been linked with any remote or smart hub which is very annoying if you do not have these devices. They should have thought of a different way of letting the user know that the bulb is in factory mode other than cycling through colours, which is also a health risk for epileptic. Once linked it starts behaving like a normal bulb if turned off/on using a switch.Their remote gives you some smart control as you can control the bulb from a distance, and given this is an RGB light bulb you are able to cycle through 16 million colours as well as turn it on/off or dim it.This bulb is quite bright at 800 lumens which is within the 60 Watt halogen range as they claim, all good there. It produces warm white light so it is suitable for the bedrooms, living rooms and any comfortable areas as the 2700 K feels warm and comforting so I would avoid putting them in general areas such as kitchens and bathrooms where more sterile light is better suited. The dimming feature is very nice, however, I would have liked if it could be dimmed further, the lowest setting for the white colour is still too strong in my opinion so it is not suitable to be used for a bedside table lamp but rather for the ceiling lamp, however, the lowest setting for other colours is dim enough. The way they set up the remote makes it very annoying to dim the lights as you have to hold the up or down button until the desired level of brightness is reached which takes some time, the same applies for changing colours, you have to press the middle button until the desired colour is reached. It is very easy to register new bulbs to the remote, however, they could have handled the confirmation of connection differently, flashing bulb is a health risk for epileptic. The remote supports up to 10 bulbs which should be plenty, however, do note that if the devices are too close it is almost impossible to turn one without the other as the signal travels to all devices in range (30 m in the open), this is where Zigbee technology becomes very useful. The good thing about the remote is the fact you are able to replace the battery without the remote forgetting the bulbs.Overall, I would say that this is an interesting product comparable to Philips Hue but it is not worth buying without smart home hub as it gives you the ability to fine-tune each individual or group of bulbs and other smart home devices from your phone.

This Ledvance ZigBee light bulb can be integrated into a ZigBee compatible smart home to allow remote control of its brightness and colour temperature. It is the LED equivalent of a 40w incadescent candle bulb and at only 6w is energy efficient. Of course if you are only want an energy efficient bulb there are cheaper alternatives on the market. However if you are after ZigBee integration then this is a good choice.When you turn the bulb on from new it is in pairing mode, indicated by cycling through a few shades of white before coming fully on. To use the bulbs full capabilities you need to pair it with a ZigBee compatible system such as Philips hue, the Amazon Echo Plus with ZigBee functionality,

Materials:White plastic shellTop light cover is made from see through plasticLamp base is GU 5.3 standard (two thin & sharp metal connector pins)Size:Bulb head diameter is 51 mmTotal height is 50mm (including the metal pins)Weight is around 70 grams (rather heavy for a GU 5.3 bulb, but it has all the smart electronics inside)Installation:Mounting the lamp on the ceiling is very straightforward, all you have to do its just plug the metal adaptors and then lock it in its nest. To activate remote control you would need HUB device, (i.e. Amazon Echo plus, Philips Hue & etc.). Hub devices establish a gateway connection to all the smart devices in your home.

I normally only use Philips Hue bulbs for my smart home lighting but they are very expensive, I wanted one for my bedroom ceiling light and I don't have other Hue bulbs in that room other than two hue go's on my wardrobe so I wouldn't have a problem if there was a mismatch.It was easy to fit to my existing holder and once turned on I connected it to the Hue Hub quite easily, the instructions were not great in this regards but if you have connected other Zigbee bulbs you will know how to do it. I also connected it to my SmartThings Hub and again it connected without issue.I was surprised that once I had added it to the Hue hub that it integrated with the other hue bulbs for timers and scenes,

At first I didn't think this would work. The instructions mention linking via a partner hub which I don't have a dedicated one for this. I do however have a hue hub which helped connect the light and then I set it up within a room so I could change the colour from a warm white to a cool white. From here I could also change the brightness.I searched for new devices on the Alexa app on my phone and got this working on voice command now and linked it to my other routines.I'm not sure this would work with other bridges or without one at all. There appears to be facilities to work the light via the 'smart life'

The Ledvance smart E14 home light works on the zigbee technology the same as Philips hue does. So in theory it should work with a Philips hue hub as I don’t have the LedVance gateway hub. I haven’t actually tried to connect it to my Philips hub yet so I’m unable to confirm if it works but according to some websites I researched it can be done.The QR code on the instruction manual does not work and neither did the one printed on the actual bulb. However the QR code on the back of the box does allowing you to download the app.The bulb itself is 6watts and is a warm white that is dimmable with a class A+ energy rating. The bulb is Amazon Alexa enabled and also works with the google Assistant.

This is a Ledvance zigbee GU5.3 MR16 tunable white bulb, it’s heavier and longer than the Philips LED GU5.3 bulb that it replaced, weighing 69 gms to the Philips’ 27 gms. It connected to my Hue system reliably and without problem, (I did a search for new lights from the Hue app and then put the power to the light on, it found the light immediately as a “Color Temperature Light” model MR16 TW Osram). Once it was connected to the hue app I had control over the colour temperature, from warm to cool, and it dimmed smoothly from the app or a Hue dimmer switch. The light is bright, on a par with a 35 watt bulb. Ledvance appears to be the new name for Osram lights; I have several Osram zigbee lights and they’ve proven to be very good.

Really like this, was looking for a cheap zigbee GU10 alternative and found this little gem, was able to pick it up from my HA zigbee dongle in seconds from plugging it in and had it integrated to my smart home in minutes.Find it to be far brighter than the Philips hue, tho I only had the white variant of them due to the insane cost but even at white it seems much brighter.Otherwise not much to say, it's colours are good, even does purple well and very happy with it's performance.Don't really have any complaints at all with this other than within one day the price went from £23 to £30 which is insane jump and looses some bonus of being a cheaper alternative.

Product is fine, although the item I received looks as though it may have been a return judging by the torn packaging inside the box.I've fitted the bulb in my porch (outdoors) and have connected it to my existing Hue bridge with no issues.I've connected the bulb to my Ring doorbell via IFTTT so that it switches on when it detects movement. I've also added the bulb to my Hive app so it can be controlled from there and all seems to be fine.The colours are very vivid, although I'll mostly be using only the daylight white and reserve colours for special occasions like Halloween etc.

I got this so when I'm late to come home I can turn on the lights from my phone like someone is home.It works seamlessly with iPhone, Alexa and Siri which I love and is so useful. You can ask her to turn it on/off and even have pre set modes.Whilst using it I’ve found that it definitely works better when closer to the WiFi and that if placed a little to far away it’s response to commands from your phone can be delayed.It’s so much fun but useful too.

I got this as I'm obsessed with lights and moods, I like certain lights during day/evening for reading or writing and then watching television, I often have lamps and night lights and big light now I have all this is one bulb this made me so happy and it has a remote and works with Alexander I don't even need to move :-)

I purchased these for the garden as was worried about the cost of replacing Hue bulbs if they got wet.However these are actually brighter with a better colour range than Hue and integrate seamlessly into the bridge

Excellent quality, brightness and value for money. Compatible and fit as expected and I am confident they will last as long as has been advertised. Easy to install too.
