Great Smart Bulb!
I couldn't wait to receive the Merkury Innovations A19 Smart Wi-Fi LED Bulb, 60W, Glass Vintage Edison Style bulb. I use the Echo Plus with Alexa to connect all my home devices. I only have one smart light bulb that I use in the master bedroom. 4 smart plugins and a 4 plugin smart strip that I use for appliances and electronics. I needed another smart light in the living room area so that is where I screwed it in. But, first I downloaded the app Geeni and set-up an account that I connected to my network. Then I screwed in the bulb and it blinks twice fast when it is ready to connect. I opened the Genni app where I Added the Living Room Light 2 to my devices. Then I opened up Alexa selected skills and asked Alexa to detect a new device. After that I asked Alexa to turn on the living room light 2 and bang it came on.

Nice but not my favorite smart LED bulb
I recently acquired the "Merkury Innovations A19 Smart WiFi LED Bulb" in a 60W Glass Vintage Edison Style from the sparks program. I was really excited when I received this item but was quite disappointed after trying to set it up. First off, the design of the bulb isn't vintage as mentioned other than the inside elements look kind of vintage style. The bulb however is not, it is more of a generic round bulb and it's not tinted like what you see on the box. I first started testing the bulb in a lamp I had plugged up. The bulb cuts on like normal but then starts flashing repetitively until you use the "Geeni" app it wants you to install. I installed everything but couldn't get anything to sync up with my phone because it requires 2.4 Ghz instead of the 5 Ghz. I have both the 2.4 and 5 Ghz but still couldn't get it to work. The step by step directions are pretty helpful but since the app would recognize my 2.4 Ghz wifi I cannot use it. Other than these problems I am sure this light bulb would be really easy for someone to set up but I hate downloading all kinds of apps for smart devices. It's a neat idea but it just didn't work for me. I might try this again at a friends house and if I can get it to work I'll know it was just the app disagreeing with my wifi.

    Great Modern Technology With Retro Flair
    This is a great bulb. In terms of aesthetics, I like how it does have a more vintage look, but it is far from basic. It connects to our wifi network and with the Geeni app, you're able to sync it directly to the bulb without any additional devices or lamp build-ins. The LED bulb makes it energy efficient without sacrificing the lumens / brightness, and it fits any standard bulb / lamp socket. From there, you're able to sync the light bulb with any of your home smart devices (e.g. Alexa) and voila, a smart bulb for any room / any lamp! This is a great step into modernity!

    Wifi LED Edison Syle Lightbulb
    Ok, so I've had this for a couple of weeks, but didn't have a chance to open it and try to use it until recently. The package basically contained the light bulb and two instruction booklets. One book was for the start up guide for the light bulb and the other was for the voice control guide. The instructions were very well written and easy to understand. However, I tried to connect the lightbulb three to four times and it would not work. Trust me when I say, Read all the directions first, because it was giving me a message saying that it does not work with routes bigger than 2.4 ghz. I thought, "oh Well" guess it's not going to work. I decided to open the instructions back up and low and behold, it said if you get this message, then use this method! I was a little embarrassed for not having read all the instructions first. I followed the instructions and put the control in AP mode, and it connected to the light bulb immediately! The controls on my app are basically a power off button and a % button, so you can dim the light or make it brighter. That's pretty cool, but not even the best part. We have a google assistant, and you can connect the light bulb to it for voice controls. You have no idea how cool this is for us. Our 3 year old loves to use our Google assistant to play music, but more importantly he will not go in his room if the lights are off. He says he's too scared. WELL, guess what, I connected the light bulb to google assistant and put the light bulb in his room. He no longer has to get one of us to go cut the light on. He sits there and says "HEY GOOGLE! TURN ON MY LIGHT". It is so funny to watch him do that, but also, now he can turn on the light without having to "be scared" of going into his room in the dark. I'm sure once he gets a little older we will have to find new uses for the light bulb, but I must say that it's the best thing since sliced bread right now for our "scared of the dark" 3 year old. I'm glad I picked this item up for review!

    great light if you want the edison style
    I've wanted to slowly start transitioning my house to smart light switches and light bulbs, and this light bulb seemed to be a great first step. I love the edison style and I was really happy I could get it without compromising the LED efficiency. It works perfectly in my standing lamp, with my Amazon Alexa setup. It gives off a wonderful and consistent yellow/orange glow. It dims perfectly via the smart home app with no visible flickering at any percentile. The app to connect the light bulb to my Alexa was really easy to use and had a lot of clear step by step directions on how to get everything working perfectly. I have been able to set the smart light on a regular schedule to only turn on at sunset and turn off again at sunrise, which means I now use it almost exclusively for lighting in kitchen/living-room combo. At maximum brightness it absolutely gives off more than enough illumination for the approximately nine foot by twenty-four foot area. I would totally recommend this as a first smart light bulb purchase for any small to medium sized room that can be lit by a single bulb.

    Easy to use
    I am very pleased with the smart LED bulb. The product is very easy and simple to use. You need near by wifi for it to work. You do need to download the Geeni App. I was able to adjust the brightness from 1% to 100% using the free Geeni App, you can program a routine to turn on the Smart LED bulb at a specific on-time and turn off at a particular off-time. It is an energy efficient light bulb that uses only 9-Watt but it's bright as a 60-Watt incandescent bulb,which is nice! I highly recommend this product. Anybody who has a home really should invest in getting one.

    Mercury Smart WiFi Bulb
    The Merkury Smart wi-Fi Edison Bulb is super easy to connect and use. It provides a bright light that can be brightened or dimmed using the downloadable app. The bulb comes with easy to read and follow directions. The bulb is 800 lumens and says it costs approximately $0.96 per year to use. The retro look of the bulb is very pleasing to the eyes and enhances the looks of the room it is used in. It is rated to last over 22 years if used approximately 3 hours per day. You can set schedules through t hff e app to have the light turn on and off at pre designated times so that if you go out of town the light will turn off and on so no one will know you're gone. I would love to get one for each room in my house.

    Works very well.
    I received this product, Merkury Innovations A19 Smart Wi-Fi LED Bulb 60W Glass Vintage Edison Style, through the Spark Reviewer Program. I tried using this Smart Wi-Fi LED bulb for direct lighting in one of the lamps located on the end tables to the couch in the living room. With this Smart Wi-Fi LED bulb, I was able to adjust the brightness from 1% to 100% using the free Geeni App, 65% worked well for me. Using the Geeni App, you can program a routine to turn on the Smart LED bulb at a specific on-time and turn off at a particular off-time. The Smart LED bulb is programmed for one at a time. I have to admit; the installation is simple, remove the existing bulb and replace it with the Smart Wi-Fi LED bulb. Next using the Geeni App connects the bulb to your Wi-Fi network using the 2.4 GHz freq. This freq gives the far-thence range. Then after connecting the bulb to your Wi-Fi network, program a routine for each bulb designating your desired on-off times and brightness level. Given the simplicity of installation and programming along with reliability. And there are no hubs to connect. However, the bulb setup requires that it is near the Wi-Fi device. But, what I'm talking about is that this product will not work outside of the WI-FI range, like say that the Wi-Fi router is on the first floor, the Smart LED bulb might not work to good on the third floor if the WI-Fi signal to too weak. So just keep that in mind. It's an excellent product and very easy to setup. I highly recommend this product.

    Easy to use!
    Never thought I would say this but this is a Very nice light bulb! It was so easy to start using - the bulb installs just like a standard light bulb and connects to your home Wi-Fi quickly with the free Geeni app. It is an energy efficient light bulb that uses only 9-Watt but it's bright as a 60-Watt incandescent bulb! The set up was very easy and controllable with your smartphone. Or use it with your voice with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. You can even set a schedule for it! Everyone wants one for their own room now!

    Works great. Easy set up.
    I put this smart bulb in the desk lamp of my office. I love the look of the bulb and the lighting is soft and warm which is great! I set this up to work with my Alexa app and it took about 10 minutes (it was my first time) to set up but it was pretty easy. If I did this again it would prob take less than 5. I would definitely love to use these throughout the house. Just to note that it states it doesn't work with 5G networks. I have the option for 2 & 5 G networks in my home but don't know if that would be an issue for other people.
