Haven't used any of Sengled products before, so was curious to see how this compares to the ones in the market.
Installed one in the bedroom primarily to use it as night/TV lamp and one in the living room to use it as a daytime lamp. Installed one in the office room as well.

Pros (out of 5 stars)
Seamless integration with Samsung Smart things and Google home (should work with amazon echo as well).Works well for the Zigbee range. Was able to control the lights using google assistant voice commands. Working on setting up routines (like red when CO alarm triggers and white when motion sensor triggers, etc) for lights to automatically turn on and turn off with other sensors - 5/5
Definitely impressed by the selection of colors (good, bright and vivid) and dimmable range (using Scenes option on hub app). Matches with the competitor product (that has similar selection) that I have been using for the last 3 years. I especially like the sunrise color option that gets triggered with my wake up alarm at mornings. I liked (for reading) the white light that has a little blue cast on it (60W with 6500k) for my office room - 5/5
Price is relatively cheaper (~25% cheaper) to the well-known branded ones in the market and offers similar options and selection on color and dimness. The bulbs itself are cheaper (could go cheaper to light up a big house with 12 rooms ;-) ) if you want to add more to the hub. Can't comment on reliability yet for the price offered, so will have to test it for couple months to rate it higher than 4 - 4/5
Doesn't get hot! This was a big concern on a cheaper one that I bought and had to discard as it posed a fire hazard.
Cons (room for improvement)
Price can go cheaper, still in the lower price range compared to branded ones
Don't believe it can be used outdoor/patio. Wanted one that can withstand outdoor temperatures and moisture - None in the market so far
Wish they had the strip light that can go with the hub, don't have to buy a different brand to complete the home kit
Wish it came with a remote for non-app users (for kids)

Definitely worth the money if you are looking to light up a big house (64 units max) for lower cost. Will update this review after couple months of use and test it out on other 3rd party hubs
I would recommend this to a friend!
