Revogi Smart Bluetooth LED Bulb

Here's a quick rundown of the pros and cons of this light.PROS:* The white mode is very bright. Much brighter than most other Bluetooth bulbs. I would consider these to be the minimum brightness level that's acceptable for normal indoor use. I wouldn't bother with dimmer bulbs.* The white mode contains 2 types of white LEDs, one giving cool light and the other giving warm light. You can easily fade between the 2, allowing you to get a perfect white light for your mood. Very nice.* The sunrise mode uses the color LEDs, allowing you to select any color you like. But this is also a con, because you can't use the white LEDs.CONS:* Bluetooth connectivity is about as unreliable as all the other Bluetooth bulbs out there from companies like MagicLight, Lumen8, etc. They are all pretty bad. You will need to reconnect every few days. You will need to reboot the bulbs, etc. Not good. I have yet to see a reliable Bluetooth bulb being sold. These are no worse than the others, so except this when buying these kinds of bulbs.* Like other similar lights from the competitors, you cannot use both white LEDs and color LEDs at the same time to get a brighter light.* Like other similar lights from the competitors, the color LEDs are about 1/2 as bright as the white LEDs.* There's no way to make the sunrise mode use the white LEDs. It uses the color LEDs, so it's not as bright and the color is off.* Unlike their competitors, this company does not help you use their bulbs in your own apps. They won't give you any documentation on how to directly talk to the lights via Bluetooth.I bought this to use in a software project. For the software project I need the Bluetooth communication documentation so that my PC can send the right codes to the bulbs to turn the them on/off, change colors, etc., without using their handheld app. I have used other bulbs from companies like MagicLight, and they all provided me with such documentation. I assumed Revogi would be helpful as well. I really wanted to use their bulbs.I contacted Revogi customer support and asked to get the Bluetooth communication details. Surely they have this. They responded with "So Sorry，We don't provide API". Really? Where's the sense in that?There are a lot of people like me who buy these Bluetooth controlled bulbs for special DIY projects to do things that are not possible using the handheld apps they provide. Using my PC, I can make Bluetooth controlled bulbs do all kinds of fantastic things the manufacturers never even dream of doing. The skies the limit. Their apps have some basic functions and that's it.Revogi forces you to use their very simple handheld app, and if you have any other plans to use it beyond that, you are out of luck. They will not help you.Hopefully Revogi reconsiders this, and starts helping customers who make their own apps. The bulbs themselves are actually quite good, about as good as MagicLight.If you need to directly control your lights from a custom app, buy from companies like MagicLight who care about customers with DIY projects.

I thought these were great lights. For the first time, I had come across a company that had high quality, bright lights and decent settings for an affordable price. I bought 3; the first one burnt out and stopped working 2 weeks after receiving it. Now, just a couple months down the line and the 2nd bulb has burned out. I had planned to come back and buy a whole set for my living room, basement, and bedroom but with how fast these went out and the company not having any type of warranty makes them a high-risk item. Very dissapointing. Maybe it was just the manufacturing of a couple of these that caused the issue, but regardless $90 later and I have one bulb that works. ​

It works. The app on Android needs to be downloaded from their site, and you need to go into your security settings to enable apps from outside sources. I like it.

Not bad. Couldn’t pair with Alexa though. Shoulda gone with a Phillips hue.

Broke after about 4 months

After using it for two days, the light does not work. It turns off after one or two hours, then randomly turns on in the middle of the night.
