B22 smart bulb

Excellent product. Being disbaled one can reach the lights so having these bulbs are so easy you just put it in like a normal bulb and use the app to fully control the lights. Any colour you want and any brightness so you can make it very dim or very bright. It has the normal light colours as well. I’m the video I showed the happy birthday light show setting on the app where you select a theme and the light bulbs have a pre light show saved and it plays the colours in a specific sequence. I usually have it in the normal colour light but it’s fun to change it one on a while. Also if you don’t want to control it with the app you can still turn the light on and off as normal by the switch on the wall and it behaves like a normal light bulb. But if you do it fast 3 times in a row it resets the light bulb to truncate via blue tooth to your phone so if it flashes that’s what is happened. Highly recommend love it

These lights are brighter than the normal bulb you'd purchase in a shop. I use these with my Alexa devices and they work really well. They're easy to set up and give peace of mind as you can turn them on and off from the app when you're not home - also connected to your alexa app so you can control them from the alexa app. The light is really bright 👍🏽

These bulbs, first and foremost, are great. They are LED, of course, which means lower energy consumption and longer life, but they are much more than that. The fact that can be controlled with your voice or the accompanying app means that the level of convenience rockets. Leaving aside the novelty aspect of being able to pick almost any colour for the bulb to use, the ability to reduce and increase brightness at will is incredibly beneficial. They were pretty easy to install, via the app and Alexa, so long as your phone is on the exact same network as Alexa herself. This means both being on 2.4ghz or 5ghz until they are recognised and connected. Once you have the bulbs connected, it doesn't matter which band you are using, Alexa will do the heavy lifting. Being able to name each bulb individually or as part of a group is very useful indeed. Of course, being English, we have one called "Big Light". So why not 5 stars? I've had to reconnect at least one bulb to Alexa a couple of times. Although it's not a big job to do so, that I have had to do it at all means a star is taken off. It might be that this is an issue with all smart bulbs, but it still means they do not deserve the full 5 stars. As it happens, I haven't had to do so now for several weeks, so it's definitely not a problem that makes the bulbs unusable. On the upside, even if you lose your network or the power goes off, the bulbs will just continue to work when the network and/or power is restored. For the price, these are a great addition to even the most basic of smart houses and, despite the lack of that 5th star, are highly recommended

I bought these having moved home recently and had more rooms needing bulbs so I’ve bought more to go with the ones I already had. I absolutely LOVE these especially in winter… I have them linked to Alexa as well as have the app and I can turn the lights on and off from the comfort of my bed without having to freeze or stumble in the dark and also if I want the light on when I get home/forget to turn it off in a room I can do so in the app when I’m out and about. They’re also really easy to set up and control. I can control how bright/dim I want them and also change the colour of the light in seconds and even have it “disco light”.. popular for parties!! They also seem to be energy efficient and last for ages. The seller is also great with their customer service. One of my bulbs stopped working during the warranty period, I let them know and within a couple of days I received a free replacement. They’re also reasonably priced so buying for a whole flat/house won’t break the bank.

The bulbs themselves are amazing, quick and easy connection but be patient as sometimes the pairing can take a while. I brought the b22 bulls to go upstairs in my bedroom so I could run them off voice activation. As I’d installed smart bulbs in other rooms in my house I was use to the set up. Sometimes it can take a few mins to set up and pair with the app but bear with it as once it’s done it works amazingly and is so easy to integrate with your smart home. 5 MONTH UPDATE.... One bulb has unfortunately had an issue, out of the blue it failed to turn on and after a few minutes of fiddling around with it I decided to do a fresh pair and start again..... only to find that it had an issue during pairing, my guess is something had gone wrong internally (mechanically) as it failed to pair every time. GOOD NEWS came from contacting avatar themselves and explaining the issue. They gave me a few pointers to try first then just requested a video to show the failings of the bulb and once that was done they had organised a new bulb to be sent out to me as a replacement. The customer service was amazing and they really do strive to give the best performance from their products. Despite the one bulb failing I will definitely give Avatar 10/10 I’ve got in total 14 bulbs from them in my home at the moment most of them being the G10 and all of them apart from one ( the one in question) works amazingly. I wouldn’t hesitate to keep buying for when I integrate more rooms in my home to my smart hub.

These colour changing smartbulbs are great value for money. Much cheaper than main brand smart bulbs, such as Hive or Hue, but just as good once setup. Their brightness is really good and can produce a very white light if needed. Much brighter than other make cheap smart bulbs I've tried. You can change the warmth of the light, as well as the brightness and a full range of colour. They don't need a hub, and just work via your existing wifi, but do take a bit of time to setup. You need to install their own smart app and then follow the guide to discover and install them. This isn't as straightforward as using main brand bulbs, because you have to experiment to see which version of a protocol is needed to find them, and you have to answer questions about how fast the bulb is flashing in setup mode. It took me a couple of attempts to get the first bulbs working, but once one is setup you know what to select for any more. Integration with Alexa needs you to install a skill as with any thirdparty product. You then need to make sure you have named the bulbs in it's own app before you go into the Alexa app to search for them. You then just add a new device, select bulb and hopefully it finds them. Once added you utilise them like any other bulbs. You can ask Alexa to dim them, change their colour etc and set on/off timers. The only slight annoyance is when asking Alexa to dim the lights if you say anything less than 50% they turn off. In the app you can adjust them the full 0-100%. So I marked down ease of install just because it is a bit fiddly and time consuming. And not completely straight forward. But it's only needed once and they work perfectly once setup. If you compare installing these with a Hive bulb, Hive have really streamlined their device install process. Now when you plug a Hive product in the app automatically finds and installs it and just asks you to name it and assign it a room or group. Probably the easiest install of any smart system I've used, but Hive products are a lot more expensive and you need a Hive smart hub, so really only an option if you have Hive central heating. Would I recommend them? Definitely. If you want smart bulbs these work well once setup and are far cheaper then any main brand bulbs. I got 2 for £16, whereas Hive colour bulbs were £39 each.

Bought a pair of these bulbs to expand an existing network of wi-fi plugs which were controlling some standing lamps. Having never heard of the manufacturer I decided based mainly on the previously good reviews and the price...I can afford to lose 23 quid right? Bulbs arrived as expected, installed easily via the app, one in the hall and one in the bedroom. The novelty aspect is great, multiple colours, blue, red, cool white, warm white and brightness all controllable either via the app or via Alexa. The higher usage bulb in the hall droppped off the network a few times in the first couple of weeks but this was resolved with a quick reset, reinstall and normality resumed, prettymuch immediately. The bedroom bulb exhibited no problems whatsoever. Did notice that the bulb in the hall was getting significantly warmer near the electrical connection than other LED bulbs which I have elsewhere however, since everything was working I thought it was best to leave well alone. Anyway, the bulb in the hall stepped up it’s misbehaviour pattern shortly after the return window closed (around 6 weeks), firstly it was unrecognised by Alexa, then unrecognised by the app itself, then refusing to switch on...a factory reset no longer fixed the problem so it was consigned to the bin. Never mind, the bedroom bulb was still working?...well briefly! Just yesterday, without the build-up to the failure of the hall bulb, the bedroom bulb subtly gave up the ghost (after 10 weeks). Whilst it would still power up briefly when unscrewed and then reconnected to the fitting, it was totally unresponsive via the network or the app and the factory reset fix refused to work at all! In summary, not my best bargain purchase...but a lesson learned. I won’t be complaining to the manufacturer and demanding a refund but I will be giving an honest review.

Fairly decent if I’m honest. Do have a tendency to become unpaired and need to be set up again. Great choice of colours and the Alexa compatibility is great
