Putting out bright
Vivid
Accurate colors and a full spectrum of natural tones at up to 1
000 lumens
The Lifx bulb boasts impressive lighting qualities. The new IFTTT channel adds some sorely needed smart functionality
Too
Bright. Robust colors. Easy setup. No bridge required.
The editors didn't like
The bulb's app still isn't useful for very much more than basic color selection. Also
Despite some progress
Lifx still lags behind Philips Hue in terms of third-party integration and overall user experience
Expensive. No IFTTT support. Some features are not yet finalized. Bulbs run hot

The Lifx shows great potential and powerful performance, but it isn't smart enough to compete with the Philips Hue line quite yet. Wait for this smart bulb to gain a few IQ points before making a purchase....

With the LIFX LED Light Bulb you can control color, brightness, and white levels using your iOS or Android device, They don't require a bridge or a hub and they deliver brilliant colors, but these bulbs are very expensive and the app is still a work in p...

Bayonet, screw and downlight options
Large bulbs; no wall switch integration, $129 per bulb
Controlling your lights using your phone is an impressive trick, but whether or not the novelty wears off depends on what other uses you find for the bulbs. If you use a daylight lamp for craftwork or have other specific colour requirements, then LIFX may...
Dimmable 17W LED bulb, Multi-colour bulb, Controllable from a smartphone app, Easy to install
Big investment for a light bulb, Have to wait for some features to come online
The LIFX LED light bulb can add a lot of colour to your life. It can emit light in a huge range of colours, it can be dimmed, you can switch it on and off without leaving your couch or bed, and all of this can be done through a simple-to-use smartphone ap...
To be honest, my LIFX bulbs almost stay constantly set to one colour. At the moment, the bulbs are definitely more of a novelty, but a novelty with a lot of potential. And they are pretty cool, even if they only get used when I have people over. I have h...

If you had asked me yesterday if I could get excited over a light bulb, the answer would have been a flat-out no, however after having a play around with the LIFX Color 1000, quite frankly, I am thoroughly impressed! Compared to the filament bulb I was us...
Great hardware design and engineering. Very responsive lighting
The app as it stands now is buggy. The lights drop from your network at random
LIFX started life as a KickStarter project in 2012 and the company has clearly done a good job at bringing their product to fruition. And while I enjoyed the LIFX bulbs greatly, a major, annoying, persistent bug kept cropping up: the bulbs would regularly...
