Thank you Geek Street, I had been trying for 2 hours to get my lights to work, (living room, 2 places, 3 bulbs in each), and it wasn't until I saw this, I figured, they should be done one at a time.

if you switch off/on the lights with the wall switch, does the lamp stay in the previous setting? for example i change the color to blue, use the wall switch to switch off the lamp and switch it on again, does it stay on blue? thanks
Hello, once the LED’s were in a group were they still able to be controlled separately (ie. ok google, turn GROUP on - Ok google, reduce brightness on LED 2 to 30%) or does this function expire once a group has been made?
I have a push button dimmer on the wall. So I understand that they can't be dimmed from the wall. But when I use the wall switch to switch them off, when they are turned back on, will they remember the last settings or go to a default brightness/colour temp? Thanks.
That's correct you can't dim from the wall switch you should change the switch to a normal on / off switch if possible. And yes it will remember the last setting.
so if this can bulb can be dimmed remotely does it require a seperate dimmer unit as is the case with the normal bulbs? Also can you control a group using Google Home (if you grouped them in smart life)?
No your switch should be a normal switch and no separate dimmer unit required. You can't control the group created in smart life using Google home but you can place them in a room in Google home and that will group them then you can control as a group. I'm actually working on a video at the moment showing all this functionality. So stay tuned to see it in action.
This particular bulb does not change colour, but I've reviewed this one that does. czcams.com/video/lksucvjaMxM/video.html If it's a GU10 fitting it will work
Can these also be switched on/off from the wall switch as well as the app - ie my wife is not into tech and prefers to do things the old fashioned way via wall light switch. if not is it better to use smart light switches with standard dimmable led bulbs?
Yes you can switch off from the switch but obviously you won't be able to control again until you switch back on. What are you trying to achieve? Is it just remote connectivity? Then I'd say get the smart switch, but if you want the bulbs to be on different brightness levels in the room then go for this option.
Geek Street the lights are for a living room that doubles as a home theatre and my aim is to set up various scenes With other mood lights and control then via either voice command or/and the app. As mentioned earlier, my wife is not an adopter of tech and will only want to use the existing switch to power on and off. I am currently using Sonoff TH16 to control 3 electric wardrobe heater, with on/off triggered via the thermostat monitor, and various smart plugs controlling appliances such as bed Lights etc which are preset with timer and scenes and do not need to be changed and therefore require no input from my wife. I take it that, if these lights are switched off at the wall switch, I will need to turn them on again before being able to use them with the app or voice commands?
@@paulbedi9317 ah ok. Yes so if your wife turns off the switch you won't me able to control. So really you need a combination of both GU10's and the the WiFi light switch for the best setup.

Thanks for the comment and great to hear the video helped.
These look to be better than other GU 10's, in fact operation looks awesome. Such a shame they won't fit all existing fittings.
Yeah they are really good, it would have been good if they were RGB.

You 'Forgot' to discuss OTHER COLOURS.. Something So Important!!!
I wonder if you can have this on a timed schedule where at 1700 they can be 100% at cool white and at 2200 they can be 30% at warm white?
Do these wifi spotlights stay cool to the touch or do they heat up? thanks and congratulations
They get warm nothing more and still touchable.
Great tutorial and advice. Do you know if it works with Samsung Smarthings. The grouping function is very impressive.
Thanks for the comment much appreciated, no this won't work with smart things. They require no hub and connect straight to your WiFi.
How low can this bulb be dimmed - great review :)
Hello, once the LED’s were in a group were they still able to be controlled separately (ie. ok google, turn GROUP on - Ok google, reduce brightness on LED 2 to 30%) or does this function expire once a group has been made?
Thanks for the comment, after the group has been created you can still control the bulbs individually. Hope that helps!
I want to connect 3 lamps to one light switch. Should I install all three and then connect them or eacht after the other?
One at a time and then install all after they have been setup.

Hi there - would this work with 14 lamps on the same switch? Was looking at the Philips one and it can only do up to 10.
I'm sure it should but double check with the company selling their support is pretty good.
Do they change colour and can u install them in any sort of light e.g in a bedroom ceiling spotlight
This particular bulb does not change colour, but I've reviewed this one that does.

If it's a GU10 fitting it will work
Everything in English which is great! I spoke English but it is his problem?
Hi Geek Street. Can I install a normal dimmer switch on the wall that you turn left or right to dim and would it work with this?
The dimmer option is only available via the app. Hope that helps.
It works with Ios siri?
Hey, how bright are these bulbs? Enough for a kitchen?
Yes
If you have 4 in 1 room, can you set all 4 up together or do you have to set up 1 at a time, 1st time installing ??
For first time installation best to do one at a time.
@@GeekStreet Ok..Cheers GS :-)
Your welcome my friend!
Yes setup one at a time, once its setup remove and move on to next one. Once all are setup, install all in the fixture and your done!
@Julie Jessney Basically iam afraid so Julie

Geek Street thank you for clarifying.. It’s as I thought-a combination of the two. Really appreciate your response.
@@paulbedi9317 no worries, don't forget to like and subscribe it makes these videos possible.
Which one is better lohas or ajax ?
I personally preferred lohas as its standard size and rgb.
can they be turnd on by sensors ??
Yes, take a look at this video
czcams.com/video/5xXorxPrRuI/video.html
Will they work if you lose your Wi-Fi signal?
The light can work but timers and app won't work.
Do you need Google Home or Alexa to use it?
No
👍🏼
How do you spell warranty by the way? If anyone else noticed it? 😂
Lol... I didn't spot that one 😂🤣😂
