What I've read, it states this is integrated with Nest. Can I use this bulb without having to get a Nest installed since I don't have one?

LIFX works on it's on. Unlike Phillips Hue, it doesn't need a second device like Nest, you just have to have a wi-fi router, since you send commands to the bulb via wi-fi. Hope i could help!

You should contact the manufacturer. I bought the bulb not knowing its requirements.

This type of connection has worked perfectly for a year in our home, but we installed a Nest in a second home, only to discover that it gradually lost its charge over time, resulting in the Nest disconnecting from our wifi router. In many instances, you will need to utilize a common wire ("C") connection to keep the Nest charged and fully operable. Once I did that in our second home, the Nest started working again. This really is something that Nest should disclose up front . . . it's not an uncommon problem among Nest owners.

The bulbs have a normal socket just like regular light bulbs. The light switch is in the on position at all times IF you use them via the app. The app allows you to set specific times for them to turn in and off, you can turn them on manually, or you can dim them. Since it is an LED bulb it uses less electricity than a regular bulb. I wouldn't recommend these all over your house; there are cheaper LEDs on the market. But if you want the convenience of using the app and the benefits that come with it then this would be the bulb for you. You have to have a gateway for these bulbs as well. It's sold separately or you can get it in a kit with a couple of bulbs. We only use these bulbs in our living room. We're gradually replacing normal bulbs with regular LEDs as they burn out. Hope this helps.

I don't think so, not for me. I cannot recommend this item. I have two of them and the bulbs burn out in six months, and right now, one of them is broken. You have to "train" the remote controls to work and my two remote controls are different models. I don't know if the fan/light is broken or the control. I have replaced the bulb at least four times trying to get it working. I think the fan/light is broken but I will have to call Litex first to see if they can get my control to work. I don't like these fans: they are too much overhead and they do not provide enough lighting for me.

It seems nobody can find a replacement bulb make and model. I'm curious about the spare bulbs as well. The company that sells this does not tell us what bulb this uses. We are screwed if this company goes out of business.

I would be happy to help you.I personally bought this product,it came and I just took the old bulb and housing out and just put the new housing and bulb in.took about 10 minutes.and the plus is,you end up with an extra housing and you can just buy the bulb alone which is cheap and put it in the housing.then you would have an extra housing and bulb for backup.Hope that helped you and have a great day.

It works great in mine - here's a tip though.....for some reason my bulb would turn itself off every few hours when it was dark out, perhaps being triggered by some reflection of its own light. I put some pieces of masking tape over the light sensor to make it less sensitive and that fixed it, now it's on all night long but still off during the day.

This bulb would only work where you have a center plug in setup. Mine was in a ceiling light and I ended up actually replacing the fixture totally, the bulb wasn't the problem. What you should do is direct the question to Helene not me.

The answer is yes to both of your questions. We have two installed in our fan fixture and they work very nice. Although expensive, I have plans on using this bulb as we replace the old ones.

To be honest this is the first I hear of this...the only bulbs that need anything extra are hid - bulbs they require a ballast... but not these they just plug into ur existing wire connectors just make sure ur car does take 9006 bulbs

Not sure, we never installed it! Sorry. But from recollection, I think you would not see the bulb.

24inControl: It can be integrated with Z-wave devices (lights, thermostats, locks, garage-doors) and with Alarm.com IP cameras. You view and control all on the same mobile app/browser. It is not compatible with Nest. You can contact 24inControl for additional information.

This works with any bulb that is dimmable. It does not have to be an Insteon bulb.

I wouldnt use the included bulb for anything but plants. I had read mixed reviews about using the bulb for animals and decided to try it out with my jacksons chameleon. Ended up causing temporary damage to my chams eyes and required a vet visit. I took the advice of other reviewers and replaced the bulb with a ReptiSun and all is well. Been using the fixture with replaced bulb for a year now with no issues.

No.. This is the best alternative to the over priced wifi bulbs out there.. just plug it in go into your iPhone app and click add light.easy peasy

You need to buy a bulb separately. Don't get a bulb that needs higher watts than the limit of the lamp.
