Gabe Turner: Hi folks, this is Gabe at Security Baron.
As you can see, I've got a buffet of bulb unboxing to get through.
Let's take it one at a time.
[music]
Gabe: If you'd like to see a list of our favorite smart bulbs, google, "Security Baron best
smart bulbs."
If you have a question about today's unboxing, leave us a comment, and I'll get back to you.
The first on our lineup of smart bulb unboxing is the Cree Connected Bulb.
You do need a Wink or a ZigBee certified hub to use with this.
Let's go ahead and check out the smart bulb itself.

Gabe: Estimated energy cost of only $1.60 for a year, that's always nice.
Pretty straightforward, this Connected Bulb.
Here we are.
Got to use it.
Set it up with the app.
You never can really take this apart, that smooth.
You're never going to look that cool taking apart packaging like this.
It's impossible.
Look at that.
This gets properly aerated, that's for sure.
Definitely, it has some space in here.
I like the bottom.
There's a lot of space here.
The Cree Connected Bulb doesn't seem to be anything else.
Remember you need the Wink hub, but that's a really fascinating design.
I've not seen a bulb like this and I've seen a lot of bulbs in my day.
Here we are with the Cree Connected Bulb.
Let's keep going.
Let's check out something that, probably if I'm being honest, the most popular smart bulb
out there.
Everyone's heard of it.
Everyone's seen it.
It's the Philips Hue.
Philips Hue works with Amazon and Google.
You also need a hub.
You want to make sure you have a hub.
This is the Philips Hue white in color ambience bulb, and a A19 size.
Here we go.
It's a good-looking bulb, 800 lumens.
A very different design than the Cree.
I'm anxious to get this going, set it up with my Amazon Alexa, my Google assistant, enable
devices, and really to take a crack at the Philips Hue.
Let's move on to our next one.
This one's a bit of a twofer because we bought it with the Google Mini.
We've got the Smart Light Starter Kit.
Google here, as they do with a lot of their products, partnered with GE, so this is actually
the GE C-Life connected LED Smart Bulb.
I'm generally a fan of the people that Google decides to partner with.
I'm anxious to see how well this system works.
There's the Google Home Mini.
Nothing new there, put that aside.
Let's check out other elements of the C-Life Smart Bulb.
Lighting facts 760 lumens, a little bit fewer lumens than the Philips Hue.
This is one of the bulbs that looks most like a traditional light bulb, of course it's not.
This is a smart bulb.
You can power it and use it with your Google Home Mini, your Google assistant.
It has the C-Life around it, which it's cool.
It's like some calligraphy almost for your light bulb, some inches.
Check this out, one of our lamps, and see what it can all do.
That is the Google Home Mini.
It's the Google Home powered GE C-Life Connected LED Smart Bulb.
Now we've got the Tp-Link Smart WiFi LED Bulb.
The Tp-Link alerts me that it went in IoT, Internet of Things, Breakthrough Award in
2017.
It works with Google and Amazon.
It's got colors for every occasion.
I wonder what that means.
"Colors for every occasion," does that mean it's like green for Saint Patrick's Day if
I want that to be, red for Valentine's Day, or maybe pink for Valentine's Day?
I don't know what we would decide is really the color of Cupid.
Check what we have here.

Gabe: It's got brute force in sometimes.
Some literature, it seems like.
Let's see what we got here.
It's a big package for one piece of paper.
It feels a little extra, a quick start guide.
I feel like I'm doing a magic trick, pulling the rabbit out of the hat, Tp-Link.
Wow, that's some cool ceramic stuff going on there.
It got a purplish bottom.
I will say something.
You can't tell, from wherever you're watching this, but this is pretty heavy.
This is like a substantial bulb.
Definitely not like any of the others that I've held today in this unboxing.
The final unboxing that we have for today is going to be the eufy.
I want to make sure I pronounced it correctly.
The eufy Lumos Smart Bulb, white and color.
Lumos is from the Latin for light.
We had the word lumens in English.
This one, for the record, has 800 lumens.
French has lumière, Illumination, illumine.
It's pretty much all I got, when it comes to what we have here.
Let's check it out.
Once again weighty, I definitely feel this eufy Smart Bulb, and also this interesting
ceramic background.
The eufy Lumos, a pretty typical for the most part of smart bulb, all white in this case.
We've noticed that a lot of them have opted for different coloration or different colors
on the bottom, but this one maintains it all white from the beginning to the end, with
the metal part here.
It basically should fit into any regular standard lamp, the same that the other bulbs have.
That is it, that's our buffet of unboxing of bulbs.
