Philips Smart Wi-Fi LED Batten 24-Watt WiZ Connected (Pack of 1) (Shades of White + Tuneable + Dimmable + Pre-Set Modes) (Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant), Pack of 1

I tried searching everywhere for instructions on how to pair the tubelight, but couldn't find any. The instructions in wiz app is a bit confusing.If anyone is having difficulty pairing, try it like this.1. Install the app, create a room.2. Click on the + button in a room(in wiz app) and click add product.3. Select light4. You will be asked to enter the wifi details. Fill it and click continue5. Select manual pairing6. You will see instructions - Power off your light, then quickly turn it on 3 times. Click next.Note: The instruction says you will see the light pulsing in blue/cool white. But for me nothing happened. Just click next.7. Next screen shows more instructions - it asks to wait for 1 min until light starts double pulsing. Ignore that, and click start.8. In the next screen a popup will appear and asks to select the temporary wifi to connect to tubelight. Wait for sometime to see a wifi with name starting with WiZConfig_. Click on the wifi name and connect. If no wifi name appears like this, restart from step 2.9. Now the setup will start and the tube will be connected. In between I felt like the setup was stuck. During that time, I switched to my wifi router instead of the tube and then it finished properly. Not sure if this is required. Try it if the setup is stuck in middle.Thats all. Once this is done you can integrate with google as well.

The lights are good but the holder clip is not that secure which gets the light dislocated with slight bumb.need more securing of the lights.The wifi process was quite simple and very easy to use.

While the build quality is flimsy and is not good, the light output and light quality is top notch.A delicate build quality doesn't matter much in case of a tubelight as it's a one time installation process only.But I'm definitely impressed with the light output, which is great.The Wiz app works fine, and the modes work fine as well.Great light, overall. I hope this lasts long enough...

The tubelight stopped connecting within 3 days. No longer accessible through your mobile, Alexa or any smart stuff. Now, that it doesn't connect you cannot use the dimming feature not change of colour. It is as good as a dumb tube light accessible through the switch.The real fun starts now, I reach the Wiz support, the app that controls the tubelight. And also Philips. The wiz support ran some tests with me, asked me to download certain app and declared the tubelight is faulty and needs to be replaced. He says raising a ticket and I will soon get an email. No email received. Meanwhile I directly wrote to Philips customer care and I get a response after 3 days that open ticket with wiz support. Now wiz says since you got mail from Philips we close this case. I had to make them understand I never got a replacement email. After 8 days of follow up, each person trying to chat well and saying they are doing something, nothing happened. Then , finally after lot of follow up, one person calls and says we will send replacement. On the 11 th day, one person from Phillips gives me an address of a store to go and check there if faulty, they will replace.If this was the solution that I need to go to a store ,why was this not told on first day. Why was I kept waiting that replacement would be sent? They test your patience so that the person gives up and does not come for replacement.To add to my woes, I have visited Philips center on 2nd dec, first the store owner acted ignorant. We don't replace online purchases. After reaching to Philips cust service they now they say leave tubelight here, we will send replacement by courier. And it has been 7 days , no replacement and no tracking link.Strict no no to buy Philips product

Writing the reviews after 3 weeks of use:After going through mixed reviews, I planned to order one and check the product myself. Had a little problem setting up the product but realised if it doesn't gets proper wifi range it will give you a hard time setting it up. Once setup, it makes your life so easy. Setup an automation on the app and the light will work according to it. Turn on/off from anywhere. I like the bed time feature of the light.Design wise its nice,, Brightness is great (Can be dimmed from the app), app is user friendly. I hope i have the same feedback after months of usage 🤞

The bar itself is of great quality, feels sturdy. But the hanging mechanism (the stands) are plastic and the whole bar fell off the first time (the wire was strong enough to hold it, otherwise it would have broken) so please be careful. I have since replaced them with metal ones. Disappointed considering Philips is so well reputed in terms of quality.Had some difficulty connecting it the first time because it doesn't automatically detect it. You have to select bulb first and then you have to wait the entire minute for it to recognize it. Even then it says failed but after you reopen the map it works fine.It's very bright, brighter than most tubes on the market (had a jaquar one before which was around 75% of this ones brightness) while being the same size. The colors available are only shades of white, but these work really well. Even if the Wipro ones have color options their build is a no go.

Excellent features

First item delivered was faulty and did not connect to my wifi after trying for half an hour. Got a replacement that connected after repeated attempts. For now it seems to be working fine with alexa. Will update if anything changes.
