will definitely buy more over time
Bought the first one because I read the review. Loved it when it came in the mail.Since my first purchase I have added several more to my home and I've purchased a few for my friends who love new fancy technology.The update process out of the box was extremely painful, it would lose connection several times, and I could never tell if it was actually working. I downloaded the update app to install from my PC over the wifi and it worked the first time.We use it to dim the lights when relaxing and watching movies. The app is very simple to use, and you can save an unlimited number of preset moods. There are some party settings that will coordinate random colors throughout the house.Works with Nest support is is the main reason I bought LIFX instead of Phllips Hue (at the time Hue did not have Nest support. These lights are awesome.I can turn off all the lights in the house once I get in bed each night knowing that I didn't forget one of them.One feature I look forward to using when we are away on vacation it simulates someone being home by turning lights on and off. Brightness is good too.I bought the white version too. It blends in with the light fixtures.

No functions worked as advertised.
The hardware on this bulb is nice the color output is good but the functionality is horrible. There is not much you can do outside of changing the color while on your own network. None of the promised features have been delivered and as much as they state that they are coming the never do. After owning one of these bulbs I went and got the Philips Hue and have been pretty happy. I have since put this bulb in a drawer and have not used it. Wasted 100.00 and should have bought the Hue in the first place.

but I have been disappointed. The good is that hey are very bright ...
I backed LIFX on kickstarter and ordered four bulbs. I had very high hopes, but I have been disappointed. The good is that hey are very bright and include some neat options that hue doesn't. The bad and why I rated them so low is that the bulbs often don't appear in the app and I have to refresh a few times so I can get them all turned off. Also after I have turned them off they will sometimes flicker. For these reasons I would recommend hue right now. Also if you're buying a lot hue ends up being much cheaper.

Fantastic so far...
The hardware and light output is superb, but it's lacking in the API/app department. The app is a bit buggy sometimes and doesn't find the bulb so I need to disconnect and reconnect my phone to the wifi network. Proximity on/off is a must. Should have been in the app from day 1.And we really need IFTTT support guys. Phillips Hue's big advantage is that it's been around and has deeper integrations with lots of 3rd parties. The LIFX team told me that they are working on it... and I understand these things take time, but your competition isn't waiting.Still, I believe in the platform and think it has potential.

Bright w/ Good Colors & Simple App
Pros:With the new firmware it does everything I need/want. Links with NEST, works with IFTTT, and the app (android) is quick and works from anywhere on the internet once you set it up with the cloud.The colors,brightness, and effects are cool and work well. The app and bulb are responsive.The setup was dead simple, with the firmware update taking the longest (10 min). The away mode is nice, but the more bulbs you have the better it works.Cons:The bulb is the larger A21 (vs standard home A19) size so it does not fit everything. Also it gets hot to the touch (but LIFX reports this is to keep the bulb long lasting) but I have not had any issues with it running for long periods of time.Overall I like it

Excellent!
I purchased two bulbs. Both are functioning as advertised, so I'm not sure why the reviews on Amazon are somewhat mixed. Set-up was easy. Looking forward to the implementation of LIFX cloud to support additional software functions.The bulbs are installed vertically in lamps with shades. Yes, the housing generates noticeable heat at full power, but it's not unreasonable. Most of the time I'm operating at 50% power, which produces no heat.I can't comment on the long-term longevity of either the wifi unit or the light itself. Given everything is solid state, the stated life of the bulb should be accurate. It would be nice if LIFX backed it with a 5 yr warranty.I'm looking forward to the GU10 bulbs.

all has slowly been making this great product even better
I've had two for a while and bought two more, the apps and software ability's have slowly but continually grown, firmware updates bless us, that can be sent via WiFi, all has slowly been making this great product even better, i loved them before, i love them more each night as I off my lights with my ipad................no issues...many months use...look good...bright...great colours... . Hopefully NinjaSphere is answer to making them ultra awesome as soon i hope to love them for turning on and off when i enter/leave my bathroom or when the garage light greets my home coming, and flash red if gates open, or someones at door, flash blue if my mobiles rings without me aware. LIFX have made light bulbs you can dream with.
