For details as to how this item received the given rating, see below:

These bulbs have been extremely easy to setup and place all around the house. The energy efficiency is awesome, lighting is perfect, and it's the first step towards automating your home (at least your lighting). It pairs nicely with Alexa so you can manage these anywhere. You can also build custom groups to bundle all the lights in an area, the whole house, etc.

A smart switch would always be the best way to go, but to save the cash and redo lighting in the house, this is a budget friendly way to start. So glad to have gotten these! Definitely recommend them. Note, it requires a smart hub for this to work. Check out Sengled's bundles, the hub is thrown in there almost for free just to get you started.

Pros:

• Easy to setup.
  
• Works with Alexa.
• Great energy efficiency.
• Grouping of bulbs.
• Excellent packaging! No plastic anything.
  

Cons:

• None, great product!
  

*Note, there are two ratings applied to the reviewed item. "Product rating" and "Packaging rating". The actual product will not be impacted by the packaging as these are two separate ratings.

In regards to packaging, the following are contributing factors against the "Packaging rating":

• In an effort to globally reduce and promote less usage of plastic, any usage of plastic or non-environmentally safe packaging/products/material will be marked negatively.
  
• Single use items that do not biodegrade or cannot be easily recycled (see point above on plastics).
• The packaging rating is being introduced to help drive a shift to more sustainable and environmentally friendly resources.
