Hey, so you're looking for a cheap
But really reliable smart bulb that is color and works with Alexa or your Google home well in this video
we're going to go over the ex touch smart bulbs and
See how well they stack up compared to the other ones
What's up
Josh here from gross tech bring you the best reviews for your home technology be that smart or not
And if you're into that kind of thing please consider subscribing
But we do unboxing reviews and news so check out other videos on our channel a so X touch actually sent us their
2-pack of their smart bulbs now
These are much cheaper this 2-pack is under 40 bucks. I think it was
$39 and some change on Amazon the link is down in the description below
but for the same price that you can buy one Philips hue color ball you can buy two of the X's and
You don't need a hub you don't need any kind of extra thing they work with the Amazon
Echo's and your Google assistance or just they have to on your phone, but they are color
They're 60 watt these ones are 60 watt
So let's see how bright they get how well they work against?
The philips hue or the lifx bulbs, and if they're reliable enough
Okay, so the app they use here. You'll see it right here on the screen is
The taya smart which if you remember we use that for some of the smart plugs
But you can also use the smart life app
They both pretty much the same thing so I've already added them to our
system here, but
What you would just do is you just add up?
here you go all the way down to
lights
electrical devices
make sure that the
Light bulb is screwed in the light is on and it will start
Blinking and then it will add the ability to name it say what room it's in and everything like that
I've got two of them here and
Let's go check out and see how well and bright they are
Okay, so we're back here in my son's room and we're gonna use the lamp here to test out the X
touch bulb and I also brought in my life ex bulb because that's the only other color one that I have
A Philips shoe is not color
It's just normal white so we've got the lifx bulb here in and they are rated at
1100 lumens which is the highest the Philips hue is only?
600 to 800 lumens depending on which one you get
The X touch ones here are only 400 so the brightness is definitely lower than the two
And let's see what?
X touch like remember these ones are only four hundred lumens
So it's definitely not as bright
But you get everything that you would get with your other abilities
So let's open up
the app here
Here is bulb
All right, so we can have it be white we can make it as bright as possible
We could color here is red
Right as possible
Make it green make it yellow make it purple you can change what?
It says plain or bright
Washed out basically of the colour. There is a dark as possible
It's a deep
You can have dark you can have plain
It just like the life exit has seems a soft
rainbow
Party
Assuming will change
leisure
gorgeous
You can set up timers
So it's all
There you can have a rave party
So it's pretty nice that you can just or just wait
So it has all the features that a life X or a Philips you has
But man for the price, and yes, it is going to be a lot dimmer than both of its
Both of its competitors, but to be honest for a lamp like this. I mean when you have a
actual normal stealing light your lamp isn't there for
You know the main light so
For the price of two of these being the same price of one of the Philips you or even the lifx bulbs
For your accent lights. I'll say it that way these are so much easier and cheaper
They last
30,000 hours is what they're rated at so you don't really have to worry about these burnin out like
just because they're the cheaper brand I
Enjoy these a lot easier a lot simpler to use and you can use your Google home or your Amazon echoes
So thanks for watching the video
Again the description down below has the links to the X touch
2-pack or the single pack now. They do come in two different factors the flat ones like the life x or your
Colors from philips you or you can get the rounded bulbs both of those are options on amazon
Again, thanks for watching my name is josh from gross tech. God bless you guys and have a great week. Bye
