> 3 dayIt took me several tries and a lot of wasted time to get this lamp to connect to the app. The instructions were laughably insufficient, and I would never give this as a gift to anyone who wasnt already familiar with these kinds of things. I *really* do not love having an additional 200MB of potentially questionable software on my phone just to run a lamp. I have been trying to get it to connect to the Smart Home app that I already have for my other wifi light switches, but havent been able to get it to work. That would be a decent workaround if it were possible. That being said, the app allows for surprisingly advanced programming of different color changing scenarios, and its fun to play with! I havent come close to exploring all the possibilities yet. The lamp is made of a matte frosted plastic. Sometimes the light shining through shows cloudy swirls in the frosted material, which is a little distracting but not too bad. Otherwise it is beautifully minimal, sturdy, and well made. Its about the size of a very large grapefruit/ pomelo. Its a fun, pretty toy, but the connectivity issues make it not so ideal for gifting. Update: The more I use this the more it works its way into my heart!! I love it. The seamless, smooth transition between all the colors of the rainbow is so soothing and lovely. I have it next to my computer while I work and the light doesnt bother my eyes at all. The app really does provide so many options for customized color transitions that would never be possible with a remote. I really should experiment with it more. But to be honest, a lot of the time Im lazy and just use the button on the base to turn it on and off, and avoid using the app. Im really pleased thats an option, too!

Greater than one weekLooking for a soft glow colorful lamp? We use this lamp in our bedroom to provide a nice soft lightning in the evening. I particularly enjoy the ability to change the colors of the lamp with my phone or a voice assistant command. Additionally, the lamp has a high quality feel and look to it. Recommended Pros: - Colors: The colors produced by the lamp are exceptional. The color diffuses beautifully across the globe. - Control: The lamp can be controlled by Alexa if desired. - On/Off: There is even a physical on/off switch if you want to control the lamp manually. FYI: - Brightness: This is not a reading lamp. It doesnt provide enough light to read a book.

> 3 dayThe lamp feels like frosted glass and looks nice turned on or off. Nice even glow. Decent cable. I downloaded the app, but after an hour finally gave up trying to connect it. I have several other connected devices around the house, so I’m not new to the technology. I’m sure I would have really liked this if it’d connect. It shouldn’t be that difficult.

> 3 dayIve put in as much effort as I feel like putting in on getting this thing to connect. The directions are so-so, and as far as I can tell, Im stuck at reconfiguring my WiFi to 2.4 Ghz. There are directions to do that, but do I really want to? IDK. Will it be worth it? and what are the repercussions of switching it? And how hard is it to switch it back to 5G after that? Do I have to switch it to 2.4 G every time I want to use this light? The answers to all the questions are not obvious (to me at least), and Id have to spend a lot of time figuring them out. And Im still not sure if it would work. So at this point, all Ive gotten from this light is annoyed. I may revisit this problem later, but Ive already revisited it several times (I do get a little further each time...) In the interest of full disclosure, Im 53 years old. Maybe Im too old for this sort of nonsense. But honestly, I dont think Im so old that I shouldnt be able to figure this out or need to ask a Millennial for help. If I ever figure it out, Ill update this. And if I need to ask a Millennial, Ill include that in the revision. (And obviously, if a Millennial cant do it and needs to consult a Gen Z, its a lost cause altogether.)

> 3 dayThis light is a nice size and has a nice color when you plug it in. Their is a 6 page manual with lots of useless information about where it is made and how great it is. But the instructions for pairing consist of less than two sentences. You must download an app and then select to pair in one of three modes. I spent an hour trying to get it to pair with bluetooth or wifi without success. The first problem was that to get it into pairing mode you must press the power button three times. But this button does not work. So to get it into pairing mode I had to plug and unplug it multiple times. When in pairing mode, I would select it, enter the wifi password, it would think for a couple minutes and then either say timeout or that it could not pair. There were three pairing modes, ble, wifi and ble+wifi. I tried all three but none worked. The bluetooth pairing mode still required the wifi password. Probably a nice light if it works, but for me it is basically a light with a nice white to orange transition that is on when plugged in and off when you unplug it. Not what I wanted.

> 3 dayI do love this moon lamp thingy. It’s always on the sunset colors because the app and adding this as a device to the app isn’t as easy as they claim. I ordered this via Vine in exchange for an honest review and I will say it’s absolutely gorgeous set at the sunset colors, however after reading what this was capable of doing for me I think it just fell short of most of those claims. I sure do wish I was wrong and if I can rectify this, I will absolutely update my review. This isn’t for kids and it isn’t cut and dry- easy peasy. It’s more for the tech-savvy person who has everything hooked up to their Alexa.
