Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • LIFX are worthy because they dim lower than Hue and don't require a bridge.
  • I already have several Hue and Lifx bulbs around the house. There are some Lifx ceiling lights in the hallway and Lifx bulbs in the dining room fixture.
  • The RGB colors are not very saturated imo and look noticeably more washed out than LIFX (I used to have some LIFX bulbs but sold them a while ago)
  • I've used both Philips Hue and Lifx bulbs outside without issue and I'm north of you
  • Nanoleaf/Govee/Lifx all have versions of this and you can add them to multiple ecosystems depending on what you want to do

Cons

  • The brand is called LIFX and it’s so nice it’s very vibrant. Was a bitch to set up though lol but that’s just because I’m clumsy
  • Lifx do (did?) this, but I still couldn't recommend them. I got rid of all of mine as they all failed over time and lifx's reputation sank.
  • But they are not much less then hue and use wifi.
  • Im in Australia and have had a bit of a look at the Lifx ones but have heard some mixed reviews.
