Amazon Basics Smart BR30 LED Bulbs Review

The Amazon Basics BR30 Smart LED Light Bulb is a great choice for your home or office. This 4-pack of WiFi-enabled bulbs can be controlled from any smart device using the Amazon Alexa app. Each bulb provides the brightness of a 65-watt incandescent but uses only 9 watts of energy, costing about $1.08 per year to operate. Over the bulb’s lifetime, this adds up to $91.66 in energy savings compared to a traditional bulb (based on 3 hours of daily use at $0.11/kWh). These dimmable, soft white (2700K) bulbs have a standard E26 base and a 15,000-hour lifetime. Start saving today with these energy-efficient smart lights.

Control your Amazon Basics smart light bulbs with your voice or the Alexa app, so you don’t have to use individual light switches. You can set custom routines to have your lights turn on and off automatically at sunset and sunrise. Note: These bulbs only work with Alexa, not with Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, or SmartThings.

Adjust the brightness from 5% to 100% to suit the time of day or your mood. Just say, “Alexa, dim the living room to 50%.” Please note: dimming only works through the Alexa app or voice commands; these bulbs are not compatible with physical dimmer switches.

Use the Alexa app to control your lights from anywhere—like your car, office, or gym. You can also schedule lights to turn on and off to make your home look occupied when you’re away.

Create groups in the Alexa app to control all the lights in a room, or your entire home, with one command. At bedtime, simply say, “Alexa, turn off the bedroom,” or use the app to turn them all off at once.

This is a 4-pack of Amazon Basics BR30 smart LED light bulbs. They have a soft white color at 2700 Kelvin and are dimmable. Each bulb uses 9 watts of power, equivalent to a 65-watt incandescent, and produces 800 lumens. They fit in standard E26 bases, are for indoor use, and are rated to last 15,000 hours. These bulbs are smart home compatible and can be controlled via an app, accepting 100 to 240 volts.
