Yakibest Basics Smart A19 LED Light Bulb, Color Changing, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, 60W Equivalent 800LM, Works with Alexa Only, 1-Pack, Certified for Humans

I recently purchased the amazon basics smart a19 led light bulb and have been extremely impressed with its performance. Not only are the bulbs energy efficient, but they also provide excellent lighting quality.

One of the things that i love most about the smart a19 led light bulbs is their compatibility with the echo dot (3rd gen). My kids have a lot of fun using their echo dots to control the lights in their rooms and have even set up routines to turn the lights on and off at certain times.

In addition to the convenience of being able to control the lights through voice commands, the smart a19 led light bulbs also have a lot of other useful features such as the ability to dim the lights and set schedules.

Overall, i highly recommend the amazon basics smart a19 led light bulbs to anyone looking to upgrade to a smart lighting system. They are easy to install, energy efficient, and provide excellent lighting quality.

Install was pretty easy and selecting a ‘specific’ color/routine seems to work. But if you want to cycle the colors a routine didn’t seem to do that. The routine that came up was completely different than others i’ve setup. Some folks say to ‘cycle’ the colors tell alex to ‘set rainbow’ and set a timer. I never got it to work after several attempts. The packaging/instructions don’t say anything about this option. Maybe just me, but i build my own computers so i’m pretty techy.
Update – ok, so after some more searching i found this. Seems you have to say the command ‘exactly’ in this manner. I now have it working. It will cycle through all colors.
To set a rainbow timer, say, ‘set a 5-minute rainbow timer with [device name].’ rainbow timers work with any color-changing smart light connected to alexa. When the timer starts, the light cycles through the colors of the rainbow. Note: rainbow timers only work with timers that are at least 2 minutes long.

I couldn’t believe how quick it was to set these up. They integrate seamlessly with the alexa app.

I’m a late convert to home automation. Amazon makes it so easy to integrate these lightbulbs with echo show and dot.

The alexa app lets you create routines. Like when i say “alexa, goodnight”. It turns off all my lights except the one in the hallway. I have that set to dim to 10% and turn red. Makes a great night light. Then, when i say “alexa, good morning “. The hallway light goes up to 50% and changes from red to soft white. Alexa then tells me the time and the weather for the day.

I just love how easy amazon makes it for an old guy like me to jump into home automation.

Instantly turned the living room main light into the perfect ambient light fixture. It can be warm, bright, red, blue, whatever color you want (almost). You can also set it up for automations to come on at a certain brightness in the morning and then have it ramp up the brightness periodically until it reaches 100%. Perfect to not scorch your eyeballs when having your morning coffee and news, and by the time you have been up for a half hour or so it has automatically brightened itself. Then, you can have it turn off when the sun comes up. Very cool, pricey but worth every penny. I want this convenience throughout the whole home! Highly recommended!

There are cheaper smart bulbs out there that will work with alexa but they typically require the download of a third party app, signing up for an account with their company, giving access to your personal information, enabling the skill on your phone and then, after all of that, they will only work intermittently requiring going through a big headache to get them working again.

This alexa smart bulb practically set itself up…after screwing it into my light fixture i opened up my alexa app and it was already there.

I was up and running within literally one minute of opening the package it came in!

It has worked flawlessly so far and i will absolutely be buying more of them!

And there was light. Very nice light. I have been using six of these bulbs for a couple months and have found them to be dependable and fun to work with. They are in the living room, bedroom, and office. I sometimes turn the bedroom blue — very sexy! True, they don’t provide a million shades of color, but how many people need such a thing? I have found the color options to be more than ample. I also have an amazon smart plug which controls the outdoor christmas display (on at sunset; off at 11:00).

The alexa app provides the control, which through routines you can set up. For example, i have one ‘alexa, goodnight’ which turns off all the house lights and turns on a dim bedroom night light. Alexa responds, ‘goodnight, sleep well.’ the night light turns off at sunrise. I must say, the sunrise and sunset functions are extremely accurate for your precise location. Good stuff! Very flexible and fun to work with. I highly recommend the amazon basics bulbs and smart plug. Go to it!

Very good for the price! Not the brightest led bulb, but strong enough for a desk. Love how i can change the colors easily or turn it on/off with just my voice. The brightness is also adjustable!

You don’t have to install another app either; as long as you already have the alexa app. It’s super simple to set up. I just had to screw the bulb into my lamp and my alexa app automatically detected it so it was already set up for me. No additional steps required. However, if it didn’t auto-detect, you can scan the qr code it comes with in the alexa app and it’ll help quick setup for you

It took me awhile to get on the smart home bandwagon, but now i could never turn back. These light bulbs are perfect for a bedroom, living room, etc. It was very easy to install and even easier to use. You can use your alexa device or phone and easily turn it on, off, or change the color. I thought it was a fantastic price for how well it works. If you already have the amazon and alexa apps, the installation will take a minute or two and you’ll be on your way to an easier life.

This came as a free promotion with the echo 5th generation speaker that i purchased. I absolutely love this bulb. It fits any standard us lamp socket and mine came preset with my home network settings. It is a check box you can select when you order from amazon. You can select standard bulb colors, warm, soft cool white, etc., or if your are feeling 70’s retro you can pretty much change the light color to whatever you want, blue, green, purple etc…

My daughter likes to sleep with a light on in her bedroom – something more than just a night light. I put a low wattage bulb in her lamp on her nightstand, but it was still too bright. What i would normally do is either throw a cloth over the lamp or point the lamp close to the wall to minimize the brightness. These weren’t the best of solutions, plus the lamp tended to stay on throughout the day when it was not needed.

I have my whole home set up with smart devices and lights so i decided a smart bulb should do the trick here. I decided on this bulb. Installation was really easy. I just put the bulb in the lamp, opened the alexa app on my iphone, and it automatically found it. I then set up a routine where it would turn on the bulb and set the brightness to 1% at her bedtime, and then turn it off one hour after sunrise. This does the trick and solves both my problems.

The other thing i like about this bulb is that it is warm white with a light temperature of 2700k. My eyes are very sensitive to light temperature, and i hate lighting that is above 2700k in temperature.

My only complaint so far is that i can’t seem to find where to tell the alexa app to have the bulb connect to my iot wireless network. I purposely keep all my smart home devices on a separate iot wi-fi network for security reasons. I will keep playing with the app to see if i can figure out how to get the bulb on a different wi-fi network.

Overall, i recommend this smart bulb, especially considering the low price and the ease of use.

Fun little light. We bought one and decided we’re going to change all our light bulbs to these now. Lots of colors to choose from, and super easy to install and use.

2 small complaints though: 1) it lags sometimes when we try to change the colors/brightness 2) it lags by like 1 second when we turn it on with the light switch for some reason. We noticed this right away. These aren’t a big deal though obviously. Just little things that might bother some of you.

Hooking this light bulb up was a nightmare. Then i turned it off and moved the lamp a few days after and now it won’t connect to alexa at all. Plus it’s 12.99 if i want to buy another one too. Just a la carte. I’m gonna go with a different brand for cheaper that will do the same thing.

I received my light for free, apart of a bundle. I decided i was going to purchase a bed side lamp specifically for this light and i am happy i did so. It is the perfect night light as you can tell alexa to turn it on/off as you please. You can also change the color of the light to your satisfaction while also being able to dim it. Pull the trigger and turn that old plain lamp into a fashion statement!

I got the the amazon basics smart bulb in soft white. It’s a convenient and easy to set up. The price is comparable to other bulbs i see. I do wish this had more features but it works well if you’re someone who has/uses the alexa app or alexa enabled devices. It’s dimmable, can be set on a timer, and can be turned off from your phone if you forget before leaving the house.

Keep in mind, if you don’t have any amazon appliances this is basically a regular lightbulb. You can’t just say “alexa turn it in blah blah blah”. It only works when commanded through the app or echo, show, dot, etc.

I had no issues setting it up. One tip though; when the app asks you to scan the qr code, scan the one on the booklet not the box.

Seguí paso a paso las instrucciones que vienen en la caja y cuando pedía escanear el código qr para finalizar la instalación se quedaba un largo tiempo pensando para al finalizar decir que hubo un error desconocido. Después de varios intentos siguiendo las instrucciones decidí usar la opción manual sin el código qr y pude lograr la instalación. Menciono que el código qr vino incluido como un fragmento de papel dentro de la caja, se supone su función era hacer mejor la instalación, para mi la hizo frustrante.

The qr codes for all of my bulbs were upside down. Just make sure to flip them if yours aren’t scanning correctly in the app.

Took like 30 minutes for it to find my phone and it keeps disconnecting from my app. Other than that though it’s great and sosososo convenient

Good but it difficult to pair to alexa but it works and eventually paired

Bright. Connection is like any other smart light bulb. Alexa and router about 20 feet away from light, but it’s having some issue with the basic routine to turn on at sunset and turn of at sunrise. At time i find myself telling alexa to either turn on or turn off, when it should be automatic with the alexa routing setup. I have a different bulb elsewhere and no problem with routine.

My son has tepuble falling asleep in total darkness. He likes that he can chante the color depending on his mood. I like that i can turn it off at night without having to enter his room, as well as adjust the brightness if hes on the edge of sleep
