I should start by disclosing I already owned 2 LIFX Color 1000 bulbs prior to purchasing this.
I was a little concerned that 800 lumens wouldn’t be very bright, especially in a “fogged” acrylic lamp, but the reality was it performs beautifully. This light connected faster than the LIFX Color 1000s I own and was on my network in less than 5 minutes (plus firmware updates). First time buyers may have a longer setup time since you need to install the app and create an account, etc.
Since this is a full color, dimmable bulb, parents out there probably recognize that light hurts when you have to get up 4+ times in the night to comfort/feed your newborn. My wife and I have this set to a deep red at about 20-25% brightness and it makes it easy to see at night while moving around the room without destroying our eyes. This requires a smartphone to change the light on the fly, otherwise you could toggle it on a light switch after setting it and it will remember what it was set to last (so you don’t have to burn your eyes looking at your smartphone!).
If you want to toggle from your phone, I highly recommend snagging the Twilight (Android specific?) app. It’s a blue light filter for your smartphone and it takes a lot of inspiration from f.lux (desktop blue light filter).
