Cheap Philips Hue Alternative | Best Budget Smart Light Bulbs 2022 Updated Review

Two years ago, I started using Wixann smart light bulbs as the main light source in my room. Today I can confidently say they’re worth every penny and are the smart bulb people should choose over Philips Hue.

The Wixann 4-pack option is no longer listed on Amazon :(

Hey, nice review. I was considering philips. Is it possible to use these lights like a sunrise alarm? Or at least set them to turn on in a certain way and time to function as one? Thanks 😊

I agree with this its over priced and cheaper ones work fine

Nope! No more wi-fi bulbs. Unless you have a very small place where your wi-fi coverage is great or you have whole-house mesh system, wi-fi bulbs will be flaky in spots with bad wi-fi coverage. I expect my bulbs to work perfectly, every time, and instantly. I don't want to have to reset my wi-fi or refresh IP addresses to get my lights to work. Ain't nobody got time for that. If these were Zigbee bulbs I'd give them a shot, but I avoid wi-fi based bulbs, light-strips, and smart switches like the plague.

So you always have to use your phone and don't work without wifi?

Yeah pass
