GE C by GE Smart BR30 Indoor Floodlight LED Light Bulb, 11-Watts, Tunable White, 1-Pack (Packaging May Vary)

I received this GE B30 SM MLT CLR C by GE Tunable White Smart Bulbs in exchange of an honest review.  I have always love smart products.  I have many smart products.  They honestly make life much easier, happier and in some cases very safe. I have q few smart indoor cameras. I also have a smart coffeemaker. I now own this GE B30 SM MLT CLR C by GE Tunable White Smart Bulbs. Which comes with 1 LED BR30 Indoor Floodlight Bulb. I believe their's other packages that come with a few more bulbs in the the package.  I just dont want you think that this is one of them . This GE tunable bulb with one in the packaged and this one bulb has 65 watts in it. This is an led bulb.  This bulb is very easy to set up. This does not required  hub. Once you had set up your bulb simply turn on the light.  After you done that you need to download the Google Home application.  After you done that you simply follow the instructions on the app. It does comes with an estimated yearly energy cost of $1.32 based on 3 hours  a day.  I really like this indoor bulb. I like how you can adjust light from warm to cool. It helps when you're just waking up and you don't need the bright light in your eyes. Or when you need the bright light to located something right away.  Another thing I love about this bulb is you get to schedule and set when you need the lights on or off automatically . I honestly love that.  Especially for my kids room. They know when the last are off the means it's time to sleep. When the light turns on it means it time to get ready for school . This bulb is also controlled with hands free voice control.  You can use your voice to adjust the brightness of the bulb or turn it off and on. This works perfectly with your Google home device.  If you don't have one, don't worry you can also use your smartphone.  This last thing is what makes me absolutely love this GE B30 SM MLT CLR C by GE Tunable White Smart Bulbs (1 LED BR30 Indoor Floodlight Bulb), 65W , if your on vacation or out for the day and forget to turn on the lights.  You can turn on or off the lights from your phone. To me this is very important.  I tend to go out alot. My family lives at least an hour away from me. I leave early to spend the whole day with them  But I don't want to waste so much energy by living the lights on the whole day. Nor do I want to drive an hour just to turn off the lights . So what better than this app that helps me save money , time and helps keep my house save. With the lights on for a while people will think someone is home. To me this a very important.  I absolutely love this led bulb.  I'm in control of the light with my voice or just by pressing a button on my cellphone.  I honestly recommend this to everyone.  Great small investment to your home. I will be ordering more of this, because yes you are aloud to have serval goggle products on your app. I need at least 3 more for my kids room and living room. No more walking in the dark for us. Ki

Fast shipping and nicely packed. Super easy to install and use.Screw in the bulb to bulb holder. Download the CE app on phone and connect to bulb by pressing one button. Control light color , brightness from screen of phone. On off from phone screen. No need to get up from bed to do all this anymore. If you have google home than you can connect it to google home.

I could not be more pleased with this product! It is easy to use and you can programming the lights from your cellphone. You just need to download the C by GE app on your cellphone. Your turn on the lights and they will appear in the app and you can turn on or turn off, dimmer them or set up a time for them to be on or off. I really enjoy these new lights!

The GE B30 SM MLT CLR is a very nice LED bulb. Doesn't have to warm up, very bright, low power usage. It is not just a normal bulb though, it is a smart bulb that can connect to Google Home or any internet compatible smart phone that can download the app. I personally do not have Google Home and was skeptical that just a smart phone app. But it works, can control on and off, dim the lights, and even control the 'warmth' of the light. So it can be more of a blue or white or orange. One thing is, the app does not remove options for their color changing bulb selection. So the app will tell you a dozen different colors the bulb can change to, however this one does not have all those color options.

You can do as much or as little as you want with this bulb. I am not quite on the smart home train...yet. This allows me to have a touch of that but on my own terms. If you do not have a hub (system that allows you control multiple smart devices) simply download the "C by GE" app. It automatically detects your bulb. Using that app you can control the color and tone of your bulb. You can even turn it on and off from the comfort of your own bed! The only negative is that you can not control it from another location like you could if you connected it through hub. In other words, I cannot log on the app at my office and turn on the light so it won't be dark in the house when I walk in later that day. You cannot connect this bulb to your Amazon Alexa. However, you can download the Google Home app and the bulb can connect to it. That will allow more options in terms of controlling the bulb. Overall, I love it.

so far so good have them in the carport. I've been slowly going through the whole house updating the lights to smart lights. it's suppose to help save on the light bill I like that if we come home late I can turn the lights on from my phone. it works with google which I like as well

There are pro's and con's to this device. To use this bulb at its fullest a Google Home device is required. There is an app for minimal use that will control on and off and dimm ability. This is a programmable light that can be scheduled to go on and off automatically. With a Google Home device the bulb can be adjusted by voice or when away from home. The cost of a bulb is $15 or more which is reasonable for the capabilities. There is a limited 3 year warranty based on 3 hrs/day use with a cost of $1.32 average per year. As a person who travels frequently, I love the ability to turn my lights on and off when away to conserve energy yet leave the appearance that someone is in the home. I like being able to turn on lights for my dogs so they are not in the dark. The programmable feature is very appealing. I do not have the Google Home device however I am considering it. These would be great for older adults who live alone or disabled individuals. As a nurse I can see many uses for my clients.

So far I like this bulb. To set this up was so so. At first I couldn't get it to sync up with the Google Home app. I downloaded the C by GE app the bulb synced up in 2 seconds but a message popped up stating to use the Google home app. Which I clicked that and bam it synced. Don't know why I couldn't do it the first time but it did the job after going through the other app. Just in case anyone has that issue try that first. Other then that I love this bulb and I now have to change out every single bulb in my house. This is must have

The Tunable White Smart Bulb from GE is pretty good. It does what it states on the packaging. It can be “tuned” from a bright white color to a soft white color depending on the effect you are trying to achieve. It is a flood light bulb, so the choice of where to use it is key. I placed it above the kitchen sink. I want to use it with a bright white setting while doing dishes in place of using the other kitchen lights. So far it works well for my purpose. I simply use the switch on the wall to turn it on and off for two reasons. First, it is just more convenient to flick the switch since I am physically right next to it. Secondly, I found the smart feature of the light to be somewhat cumbersome. I had to download an exclusive app from GE. It would then be able to sync with Google products, but I do not have any. This left me with the choice of keeping an app on my phone that only works with one product or just using the switch. Others may enjoy the convenience of a smart bulb and I may have too if I chose to use it in a more remote area. Overall, I found it to be good but not great.

I was very excited to receive this product. I thought it would be great in my daughter's room since she never shuts the lights off. I could not get the smart features of the bulb to work. I followed the instructions listed on the box. I downloaded both apps. I tried the suggested factory reset however blue tooth was not detecting the bulb. I am going to continue to try to get this tow work. If I am successful I will update my review.
