Excellent bulbs -- but white colors via Google home are not great.

Love having inexpensive, RGB bulbs that work with Google home and Assistant. The Govee app is excellent, and the integration with Google Assistant/Home is great, but has one issue:You can get a lovely range of whites and all other colors, but Google's preset whites don't play well with the Govee bulbs.Through Google, bright white is really light blue. Soft white is light pink. White is light lavender. If you go through the Govee app and set the color to soft, bright, or normal white, they look amazing--but if you didn't know you could set them through the app, you'd regret your purchase.This is only an issue when I ask Google to set my lights to a certain color, once I want them to be white again, I have to open the app and change it back, or else deal with sickly blue-light-infused white, or pink-tinted white.If you leave them on a white color set in the Govee app, they remember that color, and using Google to turn them off and on or change the brightness is never an issue.All in all? If you don't mind having to go into the app to get nice white colors once you want to change back from other colors (or don't use other colors much, like I do), these bulbs are great

Very good addition to my govee light strands in my kitchen. Very bright, like blinding when it's white. Same size as a normal bulb so no worries of if it'll fit. App is same as every other govee product so very nice to use. Links with other govee products to so all lights will be the same color

They work great and don't flicker when dimmed like some other brands.

Don't waste your time with cheaper RGB bulbs like the Sylvanias. If you want something that just works like it's supposed to, these bulbs are great. They connect easily and stay connected. The app is simple and intuitive. The whites look natural. And most importantly, they don't flicker when you dim them. I only wish I had bought them earlier instead of going through three sets of Sylvanias first.
