There are now better options out there

I wanted to like these bulbs. Got a killer deal on them too. Unfortunately they are just not bright enough to light up my normal house living room. Put 6 into my recessed lights and it was rather unimpressive. Color was okay for certain colors, but others were horribly reproduced and did not look like the stated color at all.
Hue app is horrible when it comes to changing colors. You have this small spectrum looking thing that you tap, and I have skinny fingers, but I was fat fingering the wrong colors consistently. Also did not like that there was no easy way to change white temperature levels.
One thing Hue has going for it is integration with multiple smart homes gadgets.
I really wanted to like them but had to return them and settled on LIFX bulbs which beat the hue brightness and color reproduction by a mile.

Better than Hue by a Mile

Verified Purchase:Yes
I left a rather glowing review of the color versions of this bulb, but I also bought 2 of these. Basically it comes down to this. These are a MILE ahead of the Hue bulbs in brightness and has one killer feature - the ability to change the color temperature of the white bulb. Want to throw these in a kitchen and have a whiter more daylight effect? No problem. Want them in another room and set a more romantic candlelight like yellow? No problem. Even better yet is the app which uses a color wheel of white options that you just tap and it changes.
Super cool bulbs. Definitely get them. Just wish they were cheaper and wish LIFX offered a light switch that controlled and dimmed these for those who visit and don’t have the app.

I had an opportunity to purchase a new hue bulb kit at a significant discount. I placed 6 Hue lights into my living room recessed light fixtures and was very underwhelmed by the lack of brightness and color reproduction. I wanted to keep them, but even at such a great discount they were too expensive to live in a cave and not be happy.
I decided to double-check what was out there. All the reviews on the LIFX bulbs talked about how much brighter and accurate the color reproduction was. Honestly, those reviews were 100% correct. These LIFX bulbs are awesome!
Brightness and color reproduction is exceptional. The app is more user-friendly than the Hue app, especially when changing colors. White light temperature levels can be changed too! From candlelight like yellow to bright white/blue daylight. Side benefit is no hub is required which was not a deal breaker for me, but I appreciate it as my desk was getting rather crowded.
Downsides I can think of is sometimes the app lags a fraction of a second or very rarely a bulb within a group wont turn off when commanded. I rectified this by changing my WiFi channel to a less used channel - instructions I received from the friendly support team at LIFX. Oh and the bulbs needed an update which took awhile after failing a few times. More annoying than anything.
If you are considering smart bulbs and you either a) want the brightest option b) want the best color reproduction or c) don’t want another hub, then the LIFX bulbs are it hands down.

What can I say, it does what it is supposed to do. My favorite feature is the easy clean inside. The back sides are not 90 degree corners, but rather smooth slopes that allow easy wiping. Great so far!

Coming from an older Denon 590, this receiver is a great update. X series provides an additinal year on the warranty and Audyssey with more filters for the surrounds. I also appreciated the cardboard mic stand. This one had k4 passthrough, HDCP 2.2, and will update to HDR in the future. Overall a quality product that is future proofed.

Excellent Sound, Good Comfort, Decent Connection

Overall I am very pleased with these bluetooth headphones. Although I use these for all forms of exercise, I primarily run with them. I think the sound is great and certainly can be loud, and yet they still let in enough ambient noise where you don't feel completely disconnected from dangers such as cars, etc. My only grip is as with all things bluetooth, the range is fine but any obstacle between the source (my phone) and the headphones can cause a break in the signal. In my case I had the phone up on a brick wall and was doing push ups and ever time I went down the sound cut out. Yes, I know bluetooth is not meant to go through brick but it was about as close as line sight could get. If you don't plan on exercising on the other side of a wall (lol) you should be fine. Very happy I got these.

I know there is a lot of hate on Beats, and partly with good reason. Their past headphones were overly aggressive with bass. Some people just don't like the brand.
Those things aside, I have to say these are really good quality wireless headphones. There are better wired versions that are not Beats, but for the wireless capabilities, these are near the top. Bass is still a little aggressive, but well within acceptable ranges and more enjoyable if you like bass laden music like EDM or hip-hop. I wear glasses, and am sensitive to headphones squeezing my head. I do not have that problem with these headphones. The cushioning at the top could be better though, as they began to become uncomfortable after a couple hours, but I have a shaved head. Also, noise cancelation could be better because there is a very faint hiss noise. Not noticeable on medium to high volume levels, but it is there.
Price just needs to be about $50 cheaper, but great wireless headphones. Get 'em if you need wireless, pass if you want wired (cheaper options w/ better quality)

Is the Fitbit suppose to track steps when your just moving your arm? I was sitting not walking doing my hair and makeup and it was racking up the steps so every time I moved my arm it basically saying I was walking and I'm not ..... this is not accurate

Meet the Nest Cam Outdoor security camera. It stands watch 24/7, rain or shine. Plugs into power so you never have to worry about dead batteries.

I need to install a video camera in a doctors office so the receptionist can monitor people entering the building. Will she be able to reduce the video picture on her PC so she can work on the computer and watch the video at the same time?

Will this work to record license plates day and night on my one access road? Need a simple system that will be monitored only if a negative event occurs, Have electric source but ? wi-fi.
Too many unknowns to even answer your question. The detail of a fast moving car from any distance, and especially at night, would be difficult for most cams. Don't get me wrong, this is a great cam with great detail, but you'd likely need to look at a top of the line professional system.

I want to use this for a business which is 20 miles from my home. The business uses a different wifi than I have at home. What is the range and do I have to be hooked to the same network?

4 Ohm Speakers
I have a set of Martin Logan Motion series surround speakers, so all 4 ohm. Will the receiver work with that impedance?
Yes it will, but you must change the settings as follows
Carry out the following settings when using a speaker with an impedance of 4 – 6 Ω/ohms. 1. Press and hold the main unit’s ZONE2 SOURCE and STATUS at the same time for at least 3 seconds. “V.Format:< NTSC>” appears on the display. 2. Press DIMMER on the main unit twice. “Sp.Imp.:<8ohms>” appears on the display. 3. Press TUNER PRESET CH + or TUNER PRESET CH － on the main unit to select the impedance. 6ohms: Select when the impedance for any of the connected speakers is 6 Ω/ohms. 4ohms: Select when the impedance for any of the connected speakers is 4 Ω/ohms. 4. Press the main unit’s STATUS to complete the setting.

connecting speakers
Is there an adapter for connecting r/w cables to stereo that takes only wire clips for speakers?
Not sure what you mean by "wire clips" but you can pretty much do anything you want with wire. You just strip the ends and add whatever adapter you need. Try searching online for videos on stripping speaker wire and adding banana plugs. Might not be the type of plug/adapter you need, but it'll give you an idea of how to do it. Good luck.
