MG Lighting by Sharper Image 4+

Sometimes we are offered more than expected, which is a pleasant surprise, except when those added features or functionality do not work. That is exactly the case with this bulb. All I wanted was a color-changing bulb, which this does just fine and works as advertised through the app. Unfortunately, that is all that works. The scheduler and the music features, which would be nice additions although not really necessary, are completely non-functional. Despite not wanting those features, the fact that they are offered but do not work is a red flag for me as to the expected durability and stability of the entire system. If offered, it should work. Period.

I got this lightbulb as a gift and was very excited to use it. I immediately put it in a socket and downloaded the app only to find out that only four out of the “wide range of colors” actually worked and lit up the bulb. Only red, orange, yellow and green appeared. What happened to the rest of the rainbow? When I dragged my finger across the color palette on the app, hoping that it would be more effective, the colors still wouldn’t change to a pink, blue, or purple as was the whole reason I wanted to use this product to begin with. They remained to shuffle through those four same colors no matter how many other shades I pressed on or adjusted. Even better, when I called costumer service, all of the assistants could barely speak English and I couldn’t find the product number on the box so they all told me they couldn’t help me and did nothing otherwise to give me support. DO NOT buy this product unless you are willing to take a chance that yours probably won’t work either and are happy with those four colors. I am very upset and disappointed with this company. This product was a scam and a ripoff.

I was skeptical when I first opened this app to use with my Sharper Image Smart Bulb, but after a few resets of the bulb, it appeared automatically as a bluetooth device in the app! I was amazed how beautiful the different spectrum of colors showed as I operated the app on my iPhone. I also have music on my iTunes library on my phone, so the Music section of the app works perfectly syncing the music to an awesome pulsating reaction of colors on the Smart Bulb. I can turn my room to a disco anytime now!
