    I've used not safe for enclosed LEDs in enclosed fixtures and all they do is die earlier, usually if the fixture is safe for a 60w incandescent it's not a fire hazard but manufacturers say it's not for use in them because they can't say the bulb lasts X years as it will only last maybe 1-2

      Totally, but I think there's some liability concerns there too...its a CYA. But I agree, they work

    How do you change the colors?

    Okay, WiFi is not easier, is way harder you need to configure EACH bulb and the wiz app is horrible, the procedure fails a lot. With HUE you scan the code on the hub in HomeKit and THAT'S IT. Hue light are added in one click, they form a mesh network much more reliable than most home wifi, fails almost never, and color and light quality is much better. Enrolling wiz light is a nightmare and if you wifi is not in tip top shape expect trouble.

      You mean like the Hue dimmer? Not that I know of...unless Wiz came up with one. Of course you don’t want to connect a smart switch dimmer to something like this.

      @@AndrewCamm Agreed, but I wish there was an easier way to turn the lights on/off and dim with a wall switch without killing line voltage to the lamps. The wiz remote will work for now, so long as we don't lose it hah. I guess I could always tape my phone to the wall! haha

    Any idea why I keep having the issue where all my bulbs are giving me the wifi notification that the light is unavailable? Says to check that the power is on and that the wifi is working. Intermittently they will pop back on line... intermittently, and not all bulbs at once (for instance - 3 bulbs above kitchen island and only 2 will be online)...

    • @AndrewCamm
      @AndrewCamm  3 года назад +1

      I have had this experience with one of my bulbs. Don't know if its a product flaw or just a bad bulb...Wiz has been less than helpful. Other than ensuring your bulb(s) are within wifi range, I can't offer a solution...

    I‘ve bought a bulb for 27 € week ago and until now I’ve should reconnect it over 5 times. Just terrible..
    Only on 2.4 Ghz, no metals and so on… Is there any option to upgrade the firmware or something like that?

  • @Algarinaruto
    @Algarinaruto 2 года назад

    Do you have any idea how to update the bulbs' firmware? I got the bulbs for like 6 months with no issues, but now they show an error updating their firmware and they don't connect to my Wiz app. No help from Wiz Support other than check if my bulbs close to my WiFi, which they are. They even recommended to connect my bulbs to an external hotspot and then reconnect to my wifi, but no change. Any ideas how to solve this issue?
