Sengled Solo RGBW Bluetooth Light Bulb Speaker Multi Color Changing LED Light Bulb 60W Equivalent Dimmable App Controlled E26 Smart Music Bulb, Compatible with Alexa via Bluetooth Connection

This was my first foray into smart home products as I wanted to put some festive color lights on my back patio sconce, and having a bluetooth speaker was the icing on the cake, as now I can play music while gardening or hanging by the fire pit. I wouldn't recommend installing this bulb in a sconce that isn't protected from rain, but so far our Solo lamp is working fabulously as the porch lamp sconce is upside down so it shields the bulb from the elements. I also purchased a couple white Pulse Master/Satellite pairs for the bathroom fixtures and one thing I love about the RGB solo bulb over the Pulse bulbs is the solo bulb is not so wide, so it fits more like a regular bulb. It's still heavy compared to a standard bulb, but that is to be expected. Honestly, no matter which one you choose, they're all more attractive than the CFL lamps they are replacing. I love that I can choose colors or set to a pattern for the RGB solo bulb. I currently have the rainbow pattern set up and I've set the bulb to remember the setting so that I don't have to choose it again when I turn it back on. The sound quality of the Sengled bulbs is quite average and certainly doesn't deliver much bass, but that is to be expected for a speaker with such a small footprint...actually it's probably good that there isn't much bass to shake the fixtures. The Sengled Pulse app (which controls the Pulse bulbs and the Solo bulbs) works just fine, but be aware that while technically you can connect to all the bulbs on Bluetooth settings simultaneously (at least I can on my iPhone SE 2020), you can actually only update settings for one master at a time, so in reality, sound will only play for the last master bulb you turned the switch on for. You do choose which bulbs to play by choosing to connect to that bulb on bluetooth, turning on the switch, and standing near the bulb so that the Sengled Pulse app controls show for that bulb. As far as I am aware, you can only PLAY one master bulb at a time, so this means since each Solo bulb acts as it's own Master, you cannot set other Solos as satellite to play music on multiple Solo bulbs simultaneously from the same phone. Maybe there is a way around this somehow, but I haven't figured it out yet. I would LOOOOOVE to see RGB satellite speaker bulbs. Man, I would be so excited if I could set all my lamps to orange, purple, and green and play halloween music, or red and green and play christmas music. Being the novice that I am, I haven't attempted to set up any speaker bulbs to connect with my TV, but I did see a setting in the manual so I will consider for the future. Keep it up, Sengled- you have a wonderful product here, and I would happily buy many more if you sold RGB satellite speaker bulbs.

I first purchased a set of these bulbs in 2021, and I finally had my first bulb go out in 2026. They have been installed in my outdoor porch lights the entire time, enduring the Louisiana heat and humidity without any issues. I originally experienced some syncing problems, but those turned out to be related to my phone, not the bulbs themselves. The built-in speaker plays surprisingly loud, and the color changing effects are beautiful. The longevity, durability, and performance, I definitely recommend this brand.

The picture that says "Alexa compatible" and "voice control" is an outright misrepresentation.. this bulb CANNOT be controlled by ANY smart home device, only it's own app. I have received a couple of Sengled bulbs with Alexa devices and have loved them, so I had high hopes for this. Unfortunately, it doesn't achieve anything.. • The app is poorly written and the regular Sengled app will NOT work with it. • It is NOT compatible with Alexa (or ANY other smart controller) other than as a Bluetooth speaker.. there is no control other than with the Pulse app. • When using the Bluetooth speaker, that device must be used to run the app to control the light. Two devices cannot connect to it at once. • There is no scheduling in the app, only the ability to turn the light off after a selected period of time. • The rhythm function doesn't keep the beat, it just kind of blinks different colors with no correlation to what it's playing. • The Bluetooth will not stay connected more than 24 hours, no matter what device I connect to it. Within a week, I have to power cycle the bulb to be able to connect to it again. And short, what could be a good rated product is mired with problems, most associated with their use of a proprietary app. Hopefully they will realize they need to make this device connectable as an actual Smart Home device, not just be a toy. Until then, it will remain a toy.. not worth more than $20. A surprising disappointment from Sengled.

I will say I used it in a lamp with a lamp shade which reduces some light. And it's I'd say bright enough, but on the colored modes it could definitely be brighter. Otherwise the sound quality is decent for the price and what it actually is. And the app is pretty easy to set up and use. One thing that's nice is this is Bluetooth and not wifi so no need to rely on your network.

Super coolI wish I could've gotten it to work. I tried to connect to it with 3 different phones all using their app..I think the bulb wasn't the issue it looked well made but the app for controlling it is garbage. I ended up returning mine but, I give it 3 stars cuz it has heavy and it seems well built if they get a better app for operating it I think it'll be a winner.

The Sengled Solo RGBW Bluetooth light took care of two unrelated issues for me. First, I wanted a smart lightbulb that I could turn on and off remotely because the lamp is difficult to access. Second, I've been listening to ambient sound on my phone and I wanted a small Bluetooth speaker to play the background sound instead of my phone. The speaker works well for this purpose and having it positioned in a lamp socket distributes the sound perfectly in the room. I'm also happy that I can play the speaker and turn the light down to zero with the smartphone app. Likewise, I can use the light without the speaker. What a nice, versatile device! I don't use Alexa so can't comment on that functionality. I'll update this review on the durability when I've used it for a while.

This was super easy to install and pair with my phone and laptop/chrome book. Works with music and movies on both devices. The speaker sound is great and all the light color options and settings are fun and easy to change on the app. If I don’t go into the app to change anything, the bulb works like a normal LED lightbulb switching on/off with the wall switch. I’m so glad I found this bulb because we were looking for a new ceiling fan with Bluetooth speaker and color changing light but there were only a few we found online and we didn’t like them and they looked complicated to install. Now we can just put these in our normal ceiling fan, and have what we wanted for less $ and WAY less effort. AMD now our teenage wants this bulb for his room.

The sengled pulse app the instructions tell you to download isn't on Android market the other 3 sengled apps can't see it, which is doubly frustrating because you can search for the bulb while your Bluetooth is playing music through it. I tried connecting with Bluetooth paired and unpaired, couldn't see it either way. Upon trying to reset the bulb I discovered that it didn't matter how many times or how quickly or slowly it was turned on and off it never flashed to indicate a reset. It may work with Alexa, but I don't need a 3rd ai on my phone competing for my attention. On a positive note the speaker sounds very good, I don't think the available subwoofer is really necessary. It's a little dim, but that may be a factory brightness lower than full and the tone is also set very warm. Overall it seems like a solid product hampered by bad or non-existent software. Rather disappointed considering the 4.5 star rating.

The bulb works better than I had anticipated, its sound is rich and warm. Has a beautiful array of colours. Very easy to pair with the phone. Only one thing I don’t like is that only one person can be connected at once. So if I’m connected and leave the cottage to go home, no one can use it wil my phone is still linked to it!

The app needs improvement. It does not connect easily or stay connected with some wifi devices. When you can get it connected the lighting effects are good and the sound is fairly good for the size of the speaker. It is good as a novelty item.

Bought this twice we liked it so much. One for each child. Requires a smartphone, there is NOT a remote control as this review asks me to rate.

great quality , good purchase i'd buy again.!!

You need an app to control the colour... and the app is absolute JUNK and it never connects to the light so it makes the entire thing useless as a light. The app is the only way to control the light sequences or speaker settings. You can play music through Bluetooth but that's literally all you can do if you can't get access with the app. I've had this light for about 6-8 months and I've only ever had the app work twice. Edit 1 It's now been well over a year and every once and while I try to connect with the app. Or customer service. But so far nothing. And I've tried everything -Uninstall and reinstall app -Restarted phone -Made sure all permissions were allowed. Bluetooth, GPS etc -Moved the speaker to different light sockets around the house I've tried every tip that reviews have offered and nothing has worked for me.
