I've been using these to light my family room. Prior to purchasing, I had what are probably the typical concerns about buying a product that is discounted quite a bit compared to the top leading brands. The TL;DR review is that I ordered more of these to light other rooms, so they're good!
I was pleasantly surprised by the Lumiman bulbs. They are sufficiently bright - as bright as the non-smart LED 60W equivalent bulbs I replaced with them. They offer several temperatures of white - cool, daylight, white, warm, soft - so you have some good flexibility there to suit your white temperature preference - and you can change it on demand too!
The non-white colors are not as bright as the whites but I wasn't expecting them to be. You can choose from a huge range of colors in the PlusMinus app using a color wheel. Using voice command from Alexa, you can maybe pick from 15 or so named colors plus the 5 white temperatures. It's plenty, really. The PlusMinus app also has some "scenes" you can set up that make them change colors rapidly in a pattern. The scenes are kind of neat to play with, but probably not something I'll use that much. Fun party favor I suppose.
Alexa integration is really good. You can turn them off/on, change the colors, change the brightness by talking to Alexa or using the Alexa app.
Set up was easy after I got past one initial hurdle. A 2.4 GHz network is required for first time set up. I have Google wifi hubs that support both 2.4 and 5 Ghz, but they don't let you choose whether to connect your phone/tablet to 2.4 or 5 GHz. The Google hub decides for you based on what it decides is optimal and in my case that was 5 GHz. So to install these I had to dig out an older tablet that doesn't have 5 GHz so that I could connect to 2.4 and use the app to configure them. May or may not be a stumbling block for you depending on your network. Once you install them the first time, though, you can control them from a 5 GHz network - no problem.
I've only had them a week so I can't comment on longevity. Final tip is that if you have some particular scenes you like (e.g. this bulb red, this bulb blue, that one gold, etc.) you can create a routine using the Alexa app that will set all that up with a single voice command (that you choose). Kind of a nice short cut to setting a room up quickly with some pre-determined lighting settings. Good fun and useful.
