If you are having any smart light bulbs in bedrooms, then this is a must-have so it doesn’t wake anyone up during a power outage. <br>✓ Great white and RGB colors. <br>✓ Brightness was above average for this price. It was slightly less bright on the warm white but it wasn’t very noticeable. Anything above 4500K was max brightness so that’s great. <br>✓ WiZ makes a WiZmote and motion sensors for controlling their lights. If you connect WiZ to SmartThings then you have even more accessories to connect to. <br>✓ Minimum brightness was good in that it could get dim at 1% brightness.<br>✘ The WiZ app could be better.

The warm whites were not as bright as the cool whites. <br>✘ One really weird thing is when dimming the bulb on a cool white it gets warmer as the brightness decreases. At 1% brightness it’s almost as warm as it gets. I tested this both on the Cree app and connected to Smart Life, and they both did the same.

Because they have their own bridge, they keep everything running smoothly. <br>✓ The most accessories available. This is great for families, and their motion sensors are amazing. I’ve been using one for over 2 years and it’s still running strong on the two AAA batteries that came with it. <br>✓ Power On State. <br>✓ Hue Sync, which allows you to sync your Hue lights with your TV or computer monitor. <br>✓ Very compatible with other platforms. Hue has been around for so long and works with almost every smart home platform out there. <br>✓ Minimum brightness gets very dim at 1%.<br>✘ Expensive. Getting started with Hue isn’t cheap since you need to buy a bridge. <br>✘ They aren’t very bright and the colors are dull. This is why I originally had LIFX win in my first smart light bulb video. I wasn’t factoring everything with that decision though. Also warm whites are not as bright as cool whites. <br>✘ I’m not a fan of the white color picker in the Hue app. I would like to choose a Kelvin number.</p><h3><span id="LIFX"><a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://amzn.to/2DtiTpL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">LIFX</a> <img draggable="false" role="img" class="emoji" alt="🏆" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.0.1/svg/1f3c6.svg"></span></h3><p><strong>Winner:</strong> <strong>Best Bright Saturated Colors</strong></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><noscript><img width="1024" height="644" src="https://smarthomesolver.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/LIFX-bulb-1024x644.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-12019" srcset="https://smarthomesolver.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/LIFX-bulb-1024x644.jpg 1024w, https://smarthomesolver.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/LIFX-bulb-300x189.jpg 300w, https://smarthomesolver.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/LIFX-bulb-1536x965.jpg 1536w, https://smarthomesolver.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/LIFX-bulb-2048x1287.jpg 2048w, https://smarthomesolver.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/LIFX-bulb-scaled.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></noscript><img width="1024" height="644" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201024%20644%22%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src="https://smarthomesolver.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/LIFX-bulb-1024x644.jpg" alt="" class="lazyload wp-image-12019" data-srcset="https://smarthomesolver.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/LIFX-bulb-1024x644.jpg 1024w, https://smarthomesolver.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/LIFX-bulb-300x189.jpg 300w, https://smarthomesolver.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/LIFX-bulb-1536x965.jpg 1536w, https://smarthomesolver.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/LIFX-bulb-2048x1287.jpg 2048w, https://smarthomesolver.com/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/LIFX-bulb-scaled.jpg 1200w" data-sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p>✓ The colors are so bright and vibrant that it puts every other smart light bulb to shame in this category. <br>✓ White colors are also bright.

I stumbled upon this while researching which smart bulb to buy, and just want to say this is the most comprehensive review I’ve seen. Especially the RGB Saturation measure, this is so hard to find anywhere else and I’m sure manufacturers realize most reviews don’t mention it so they can cheap out on those RGB LEDs.
