Reddit take

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

Pros

  • Nobody beats the wiz.
  • Wiz can be programmed
  • I have Wiz in every light in my house. I used to have hue but moved to a place with WAY more bulbs so it would have been crazy expensive to keep hue. I honestly think the Wiz are 90% as good. The colors are not quite as good but they are...
  • Wiz (also Philips, like Hue) has a flame preset
  • Like others have said, Wiz is probably going to be the most common answer here, but it really REALLY depends on your use case.

Cons

  • I have seen a couple others like ezview and wiz
  • Wiz was being pushed to all of our BlackRock clients once they acquired a stake in it, even though at the time it was kinda shitty, it's obviously suitable to flog now.
  • We tested Wiz once to try to save some money, but it wasn't worth it.
  • all other brands are shitposted (Nanoleaf, Linkin, Wiz, ...).
  • MAYBE the cheese during reheat, especially if it’s provolone etc, not wiz.
