One blub did not work at all.

One blub arrived and never worked. I also wish that it worked with 5G wifi, rather than only with 2.4G. I had to reset my phone to get the one blub to connect to the app at all. For a new product I think it should have better connection choices.

Set up took a few tries

The set up process for the bulbs was frustrating. It look me three tries before it finally synced with my app and wifi. I’m not sure if it was the bulb/app or my phone, but some tips are to make sure your bluetooth is on ahead of time and that your phone doesn’t time out/sleep/dim during the set up. Also, *flash warning* when you turn on the light to sync to your app. It took me over 30 mins to set it up because of my failed attempts but there’s instructions to restart the syncing process. Once it finally connected to the app, syncing my Google Home was quick. The features of the bulbs are cool with the ability to dim the light and have it emit different colours, fun to play around with. You can also set times to turn the light on/off in the iQ app. After using it for two weeks, one of the bulbs stopped connecting to the app and it showed "offline". The bulb still emitted light but it was stuck on the colour I last had it set for. I was able to reset the whole bulb again but if this continues to happen, it would be very annoying, and I'm lucky I just had the bulb in a lamp and not for my ceiling light so it was easier to reset the bulb. The other light bulb is going strong but I would prefer if I didn't have to reset anything.
