Goes offline with every power flicker and must be reset.
Endlessly goes off line and must be reset with Wink hub 2. It enters reset mode by applying and removing power to the bulb. That’s a problem, because if you live in an area where storms or other issues cause power to flicker in storms or when the electric utility preforms maintenance all of these lights will turn on then go off line. To place them back in service, the need to be removed from what ever fixture there in and plug them in next to the Wink hub, them begin a process of reprogramming that works about 60 % of the time. Then you need to clean up the Wink network, Google home or Alexia by removing the old entries for the bulbs. What was needed is a button on the bulb to enter programming mode. By relying on the power on/off method to enter the programming mode they made a high maintenance monster that sooner or later you’ll come to the conclusion is just not worth the trouble of resetting again so it can rejoin the network.

Headache. Permanently disconnects if power flickers, headache to reconfigure.
I'm writing this review as I've only had the bulbs for 2 months and during that time they have been a major headache in my smart home. For one light, it stopped responding to commands from my hub for a week before I noticed, because its always on while we are home but turns off during sleep or away. Then one day I tried to turn it off and it WASNT EVEN LISTED ON MY HUB ANYMORE! Not sure what happened to that one, but I've never had a device just exclude itself from my zwave network like that.Then I had a big storm and my power went off for maybe 1 second, then came back on. That night, the other light (which was in our bedroom) wouldn't turn off when we were going to sleep. I checked my hub and it listed it as offline since the storm, great. Same thing with the other bulb again. Keep in mind that my other 25+ z-wave devices are still working perfectly fine this whole time, its just these bulbs.Then trying to re-pair them is a major headache. Getting it reset, then re-pairing took about 10 minutes of resetting the bulb then turning it back on and wondering why it wasn't pairing. Not a huge deal but a minor annoyance. One bulb STILL won't work. I pair it with the hub and it just won't respond to commands at all, I think its permanently bricked from the storm. Then, I use webcore scripts to run various commands in my home, so i had to go in and update the scripts to the new devices as well.Conclusion: avoid these bulbs, maybe all z-wave bulbs. Installing an outlet or switch to control the lights would have been much easier than the nonsense of re-pairing the bulbs once a month and also having a bricked bulb in just 2 months time.edit: 8/13/18 - I think this happened about 2 days after my initial review but the bulb i was able to add back to the network has now disconnected again. They are going in the trash this time. PS I'm using a smartthings hub so maybe they just dont play nice with that but be aware.

Good, reliable light - and a repeater!
I had trouble finding a z-wave smart light, and I really needed a repeater, so I decided to try try the Enbrighten light. It works very well, and was easy to set/reset when needed. I've had a couple of issues with it disconnecting when I didn't want it to (my Wink 2 Hub is about 15 feet away), but that seems to be a fairly common issue with z-wave devices I have tried - it is just momentary, and wakes up just fine when I give it a command. No problems!

Easy peasy
Have used it for few months as a porch light. Paired with a Samsung Smarthub. Worked right out of the box. If you want to control a light without using a zwave switch or because you don't have a neutral line, this is the product. Easy setup. Don't have to mess with electrical wiring. So far so good.

Works as my chicken coop light controlled by a VeraLite
Might be the oddest use yet, but this allowed me to utilize my Z-wave home automation controls to manage the light in my chicken coop. In this colder dark weather the girls just stopped laying. I was ready for a slowdown, but wanted at least some eggs. In prior years I must have just turned off power to the entire coop at night. But that could mean frozen water. This year I realized I could have both for the cost of this one bulb.I manage this bulb with a VeraLite. Set to turn on 12 hours after sunset, and off 30 minutes after sunrise.

Works with my LiveWatch system
I got this to go with my new LiveWatch security system. It was easy to pair with the system and works with the Alarm.com app that the LiveWatch system uses. I love being able to turn my porch lights on and off from anywhere!!!!!

This bulb did not play well with my Vista VAM z-wave from Honeywell until I moved the bulb to a closer location, even though it was only 30 feet and two walls away from the controller. It wouldn't work at all with Smatthings. I eventually got it to work with Smartthings and Alexa, but only after calling tech support and removing it from my Honeywell z-wave controller.It would be really nice if these manufacturer's would publish clearer instructions rather than something like "for setup refer to instructions provided by someone else". So, yes, it will work with Honeywell, as advertised, and yes, it will work with Smartthings and Alexa, as advertised, but no, it will not work if connected to both, but not stated. Very frustrating.

They lose connectivity after power loss, you have to add them to your controller after each power loss not for Floridian customers way have way too many storms to keep adding them back every time we lose power.
