NanoleafEssentials Smart LED Color-Changing Wi-Fi A19 Light Bulb (60W) - RGB & Warm to Cool Whites, App & Voice Control (Works with Apple Home, Google Home) - 4PK

Works great and easy to set up

The media could not be loaded. Love these. Amazing. You can turn on and off through the app. Control multiple lights if you sent them as in the same room. Great to set ambience. You can also make the lights brighter or dimmer, which is great for sleep time.

I purchased several of these and they all perform the same.I am comparing to brands such as Govee and Wyze that sadly don't natively work with Apple Home.These work very well with Apple Home and turn on and off quickly for me when talking to Siri through the phone. Using the watch can be an issue but that is an Apple problem and happens with anything Siri related.It would be nice if they had a higher watt version. These are a bit dim even in comparison to a similarly rated bulb. More concerning though is that these do seem uncomfortably warm when in use. The other brands listed above get slightly warm but not hot. Even though Wyze is higher wattage and hence brighter, it does run cooler.I do like the colors. They seem just a bit more vivid. I can see things fluoresce when set to blue that I didn't note with the other brands.They are a fairly small short bulb so they do fit in everything I have tried. Some brands can be too tall for my ceiling fan light cover.I will shop around and maybe try additional options before buying these again. The heat issue has me a bit concerned about their longevity but if they last, they aren't a bad option.Based on that I may recommend them but it would depend on the person and use case.

Idk why Phillips think they can charge an arm and a leg cause these light bulbs are the best smart bulbs ever (former SYLVANIA bulb user).The colors are way brighter than anything else I used. The QR code made it super simple to setup. Buying more for the entire house!

Nanoleaf Essentials Bulbs Review: Thread vs. WiFi Comparison## Shared StrengthsBoth the Matter over Thread and Matter over WiFi versions of Nanoleaf Essentials bulbs offer:- Seamless pairing with Apple Home and Hubitat- Rich colors with granular control over color and temperature- Adequate brightness (though this is subjective—I personally prefer dimmer lighting)## Matter over Thread Version: RecommendedThe Thread-based bulbs have been consistently reliable in my smart home setup, maintaining stable connections and responding promptly to commands.## Matter over WiFi Version: Not RecommendedAfter three months of troubleshooting with Nanoleaf support, I cannot recommend the WiFi versions due to persistent connectivity issues:### Connectivity Problems- Bulbs disconnect regularly, typically staying connected for only 12-16 hours- Current workaround requires physically turning them off for 30 seconds to reconnect### Excessive Requirements (According to Nanoleaf Support)Nanoleaf claims these bulbs require:- Placement more than 25 feet from routers and other WiFi devices- No Zigbee devices in the environment- All network devices on 2.4 GHz only (5 GHz network must be inactive)- No WiFi 6 or WiFi 7 in the environment- Manual IP assignment on your router-All devices in the network must use WPA2 security. WPA3 cannot be active.Despite meeting these requirements, the connectivity issues persist. My requests to have them replaced with the Thread version have been unsuccessful.## ConclusionFor those interested in Nanoleaf Essentials bulbs, I strongly recommend the Matter over Thread version. The Matter over WiFi version, despite sharing the same quality of light, has proven unreliable and difficult to maintain in a typical smart home environment.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I bought four packs of these so far. In the last several months I have taken my fully built up HomeKit full of VOCOLINC devices including about 20 bulbs, and switched them all to zigbee Sengled.I then switched them all to these bulbs because Sengled zigbee has terrible performance colors and brightness when used in the home app.Honestly. These are great. They are very responsive and have good color and I’m pretty happy with the brightness as well.Everyone complaining about these…. I feel like the issue is most likely with their network and HomeKit configs. Conflicting items. Or poor network setup.I will admit I am a systems engineer so my home network is very much optimized like an enterprise network is. But that only means that my network is operating as intended.So I can gladly testify that if your network is fully optimized and you have no conflicts (the average person would have no idea) then these are great devices!Excited for matter later this year!They can shove those stupid angle things though. Never happening at that cost lol
