They are working great so far. The green light is amazing for casting illuminating light which also doesn't destroy your night vision…and it's just more comfortable on the eyes, in my opinion. Red light works well too, but I just like the mood of green better in most cases.
I often have it set to a very dim green light…5% or less, and it's really nice…it honestly transforms that outdoor living space at night.
The picture is showing the lights on with green at about 15%…which I would use if slightly inebriated people needed to move about….30% brightness in extreme cases. But, it obviously depends on your setup (light distance, etc.), and needs.
These lights are very bright, so in my fairly dark back yard (though still still in the burbs), I could never see myself cranking these all the way up unless I was using them for work lights, or a basketball goal, or something.
Of course, these benefits would be provided by any smart light as long as they do their job…and I'm happy to say these do for me.
One negative, is that some color transitions seem a bit harsh, as if they can't quite reproduce all colors accurately. Not a big deal, but it is one notable negative for me.
I didn't use their app, so I can't comment on that. But, they were easy to hook up through Apple HomeKit, and control from there, which has been working great.
I will report back about longevity…that is always the wildcard for these lights, it seems.
