The installation process was a breeze. All I had to do was screw in the bulb like any standard light bulb, and I was ready to go. The Wi-Fi connection enabled seamless integration with my smart home ecosystem, and I was able to control the bulb with ease from my smartphone.
The range of colors is incredible. I love being able to choose from millions of vibrant colors to set the perfect mood for any occasion. Whether it's a relaxing evening, a lively party, or a focused work session, the LIFX + A19 bulb allows me to create the ideal lighting atmosphere.
The added benefit of infrared (IR) technology is a game-changer. The built-in IR LEDs provide excellent night vision support for security cameras, adding an extra layer of safety and security to my home.
The brightness is impressive, effectively replacing traditional 75W incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient LED technology. I appreciate the option to adjust the brightness level to my liking, whether I need bright lighting for a task or a soft glow for relaxation.
The LIFX app is user-friendly and intuitive, allowing me to customize the bulb's settings, schedule lighting scenes, and even sync the lights to music or movies for an immersive experience.
Voice control through popular smart assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit is seamless and responsive, adding an extra layer of convenience to my daily life.
The Wi-Fi connectivity ensures that I can control the bulb from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. It's a fantastic feature for when I want to adjust the lighting while away from home or create the illusion that someone is home when I'm traveling.
The LIFX + A19 Wi-Fi Smart LED Light Bulb is not only energy-efficient but also rated for a long lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements and saving money in the long run.
In conclusion, the LIFX + A19 Wi-Fi Smart LED Light Bulb is a top-tier choice for anyone seeking a smart lighting solution. Its ease of installation, stunning color options, infrared technology, and compatibility with smart assistants make it a standout smart bulb. Embrace the power of smart lighting with the LIFX + A19 Wi-Fi Smart LED Light Bulb and elevate your home's ambiance to a whole new level. Whether you want to set the mood, enhance security, or save energy, this bulb has it all.
Now, the LIFX +. I liked the idea (it’s a bit crazy James Bond tech feeling) and hey, I was getting LIFX anyway so figured I’d get a mix. The main difference is that the + have a whole added channel of light for ‘night vision enhancement’. Whenever the bulb is not set to visible light it puts out infrared that is invisible to the eye (it also switches it on when they’re set to super dim).
Why did I bother? Well… Have you ever been lying in bed at night and then there is a creepy noise? You and your significant other have a bit of a “debate” over whether or not it needs investigation or who will go check and you're kind of freaked out? Solution: just set up some little cams at key locations in your house, along with a couple of these babies and use an app to check from bed. And if there IS someone lurking about just turn all the LIFX in your house on red with said phone and totally scare them off! Problem solved.
Yes, cameras do work without LIFX + boosting the vision but I figured I’d rather upgrade the lights and have fewer cams as that was less 1984-esque. Another thing I've noticed from my testing so far is that the super infrared makes windows really easy to see through (normally hard with cameras at night) and lights up all those weird nooks and creepy, dark halls in older places so it is a big improvement on just the camera alone.
Some potential bonus uses that might add some value: hilarious night time pet antics captured, proof there aren’t ghosts in your house, know who is raiding the fridge, watch your baby sleep, see who’s stealing your paper at dawn… the list goes on.
In summary: this is already a 5 star product but with super innovative functionality added in that you can’t get in other smart lights.
Top reviews from other countries
There are two features that differentiate the Lifx+ and regular Lifx bulbs. If you're home doesn't need IR LEDs and water protection, I'd suggest you go with the regular Lifx bulbs (which I have reviewed as well). Use the Lifx+ either outside, or in your bathrooms or areas of high moisture.
Pros:
- Bright (1100 lumens)
- IR LED (enhances visual range of smart home cameras like Nest Cam Indoor/IQ)
- Water resistant
Cons:
- Expensive
Again, if you want the full story on the Lifx bulb, check out my review on that product. I'll summarize that review after I go through the differentiating features. I've done a comparison between the Lifx bulbs and the Philips Hue Color Ambiance so check out my site in the profile.
The IR LED's is going to be useful for people running night-vision enabled smart home cameras such as the Nest Cam IQ/Indoor as well as the D-Link Omna. From my basic testing, I was able to get the a distance of 40 ft with the IR LED's which basically doubles the IR LED's found on the Nest and D-Link Cameras.
The bulb itself gets quite warm even though it looks "off" so you know something is going on. I will admit that it was mildly creepy being able to see myself in my smart home camera's feed while I was stumbling around in a dark room.
For the extra water protection, Lifx doesn't give the bulb any sort of IP rating (I would have expected at least an IP67 rating) but does state that the bulb can be used outside as long as there is no direct contact with water. So make sure you use the bulbs in a covered porch or in a steamy bathroom.
The extra $20 dollars adds up fast so I would be picky where I use the bulbs. I personally wouldn't use them as my base bulb, I'd go with a set of regular Lifx bulbs.
Now if you remove the IR LED's and extra water protection, you're basically stuck with a regular Lifx bulb. Which is a good thing! The standout feature for the Lifx bulb is the brightness at 1100 lumens. That's approx. 70% brighter than the average Hue Color Ambiance bulb. I use a full set of Lifx bulbs in my basement/office/video review area and the brightness is noticeable. I love being able to set the working area to a nice cool color to help focus my minds in the morning and a warm color at night while I power down for the night.
The Lifx app is well designed with the standout feature being the "effects". These effects are basically "scenes" on steroids and some of the effects allow you to interact with the lights such as the music visualizer. Check out the video to see it in action!
Some will say the lack of base station is a plus but unless you have a hard to reach router, that shouldn't be an issue for most people.
Happy Smart Home Lighting!
I wish I was aware of this issue before buying such an expensive bulb.
