So after having half of my basement set with the KASA Wi-FI bulbs, I was wanting to do the rest of the basement. I held of on buying more of the KASA bulbs since I needed 7 more and they were fairly expensive. I stumbled across these Merkury Innovations bulbs at Wal Mart on clearance. I was unable to find them on Amazon or anywhere else actually, so I did some research and I believe the company has acquired Geeni and are using the Geeni name going forward on their smart home products and using the Geeni app. I had some trouble getting most of the bulbs set up, but the one I demoed worked perfectly, go figure. Regardless for the price of these its worth the headache. So on Amazon if you hit the link they are a bit more expensive but you can get more bulbs in a pack, if you can find a few of the old packaged ones under the Merkury name you will save some money at Wal Mart.

I have my place completely fitted with the color ones and so do my parents along with a few plugs
About to buy some right now my local Walmart has then2 pack for 15.88
I bought a Mercury plug and have been trying for three weeks to set it up and still can’t. Very frustrating. Would never buy anything made by Mercury.
I found that all of these wifi bulbs need to be very close to the phone you are setting them up with. I always use a nearby socket. Same with smart plugs (switches). Thanks for this review. I need to buy more bulbs badly.
Only works with 2.4 ghz Wi-Fi. I have 5ghz Wi-Fi networking, they won’t connect. I’ve tried dozens of time. No go. Can you help me? Maybe I’m doing a step wrong.ty
Why don’t they make the bulbs with just a remote control instead of WiFi.
I bought and installed 22 of these lights in the last week. I had problems with about 5 of them. But turning off the switch and resetting my Wi-Fi router solved the problem.
I have my whole home outfitted with these lights they work great and plugs and I also have a LED strip from geeni and merkury
I just found and installed several of these bulbs. Setup was a breeze for me.
They also make color changing bulbs as well. The bulbs cost like 12.88 each at Wal Mart. I have two downstairs in my lamps and they work great. You can have Alexa change the bulbs to any color you want.
i have these for about a month now and so far so good!!!
I setup the lights using Geeni app and then added it to my Google assistants app. So, since the setup was done on my smart phone how does a family member have access to turn on and off the lights? Do they need to install Geeni app or just use their own Google assistant app?
Great and you can connect more Lee strips to one strip
