Ultimate Linkind Smart LED Light Bulbs – Vibrant Color Changing, Alexa & Google Home Compatible

It was very easy to install and works great. I got it hooked up to their app and connected it to Google Home in seconds. The app has more control than Google Home like dynamic lighting and built in themes. I can control it when away from home and was able to set up a Home automation that turns it off/on when I leave or come home. It's also efficient at 9w with a built in power meter/ usage timer in the app. Connectivity has not been an issue like other bulbs say in their reviews. Love the red light at night and variable colors/brightness throughout the day.
I recommended it to my roommate who bought 4 for the living room and we may get more throughout the house.

I built a custom kitchen chandelier that sits over my island and uses ten traditional A19 bulbs. When I have all the bulbs on, this chandelier light is super bright and works perfectly for my kitchen. I built this fixture back in 2014 and over the years, LED bulbs have improved in design however the whites originally available have also changed with new technology. I found it more and more difficult to match whites and color temp, so the 10 bulbs stayed uniform in appearance and maintained dimming capabilities when needed. So back to the drawing board I went and found the Linkind brand of bulb by AiDot.

This bulb now opened a whole new world of possibilities and directly replaced my aging A19 base bulbs. These bulbs offer a variety of settings and features through the ability to connect to your wireless network without any hub or additional hardware needed. Simply screw the bulb in and with the use of the downloadable app, you connect the bulb to your network and can even pair these with your Alexa (as in my case) or Goole Home system for Smart home control. This was a huge plus out of the gate and so simple to setup and get going.

First thing I noticed was the brilliant white light being emitted. The white was not only whiter than any previous LED bulb I had been using but also much brighter. I love a bright kitchen and the ability to see everything when I want. I immediately started playing with the app settings playing around with colors and temps to see the full range of possibilities. These bulbs allow the full spectrum of colors from either presets or a color wheel. I didn’t find a HEX editor to specify a specific code, but the presets and wheel give you all the possibilities you could want in my opinion. The temps are available between 1800K and 6500K with brightness range of 0-100% so you pretty much have full freedom to set these bulbs as you desire.

There are also a ton of custom pre-programmed presets for modes like party and dancing to spring and fall palettes. Several holiday presets are also available to set anything from St Patrick's Green to a range of Christmas colors and sparkles. My 3-year-old grandson even has a favorite mode labeled ‘spooky’ where the lights start off white and randomly switches to pulsing red and then back to white. He gets a kick out of this mode when he’s visiting.

The bulbs are pretty cool to touch even after prolonged use and everything is controllable through my Alexa speakers. I can simply say ‘Turn on the kitchen lights’ to have them turn on and set the brightness or mode through Alexa as well. Even my 3-year-old grandson knows how to control them through Alexa which we had to guide him once he knew how, so he wasn’t constantly turning them on or off and setting the ‘spooky’ mode when we didn’t want that mode on. He’s so cute with these though we have some fun for sure.

I find the smart light bulbs easy to set up, particularly with WiFi and Alexa integration, and I appreciate their ability to create dim/warm lighting and change colors effortlessly. They work well with Alexa and offer good value as a cheaper alternative to Philips bulbs.

Even this 70-year-old had fun with these Smart Bulbs—Easy to Use, Great with Alexa, and a Solid Value!
First off, I have to say that using my AI Dot made installing these bulbs a breeze! The setup was quick and effortless; controlling the lights with Alexa is just as easy. I bought a box of six, giving me full lighting control throughout my house.
As long as the bulbs can “see” the WiFi, everything works perfectly. The colors are vibrant, the lighting is bright and clear, and they even have a few fun party tricks—though I’ll admit, I didn’t test them all. At 70, I’m not much of a party guy, but I still had fun playing around! But I look forward to trying more of those features around Christmastime to help set the mood.
I did have one minor issue with a wall light socket—the bulb wouldn’t work in that particular fixture, even though regular bulbs do. It’s a standard 3-way light switch, and my other lamps (which also use 3-way switches) work fine. I suspect the center tab in the socket is the issue, but it’s not adjustable. That said, I don’t think it’s fair to take off a star, as it’s probably a problem with the fixture, not the bulb. One small note: the bulb’s center contact is very flat—maybe too economical. A slightly more pronounced bump could help compatibility in some sockets that need more reach.

The brightness, color clarity, and ease of use make this an excellent investment—especially for the price of an 8-pack. The bulbs also consume very little power so that I could plug them into existing surge protectors with no problem. That should help give them a long and healthy life.
Bonus: If you don’t want to use Alexa or Google, there’s a stand-alone app you can use on your phone to control the lights. Very handy!
I’ve wanted to upgrade the lighting in my home for a while, and the price was right—so now was the time. Recommend!

Great item! Super easy to set up, the app does everything for you. Easy to control, works great with Alexa. The app has great presets. I’m planning on replacing all the bulbs in the heavy use areas of my home.
