Feit Electric Smart Light Bulb
Score: 81/100
Sengled Smart Bulb
Score: 76/100Rankings
Feit Electric's smart RGBW bulbs deliver solid brightness, high CRI and a very attractive price, making them a practical entry-level option. They lack premium color saturation, dimming flexibility, and 5 GHz Wi-Fi support, which can limit use in some setups. Best suited for budget-conscious homeowners who need basic color and voice control.
The Sengled B11-N11 offers 800 lumens at 8.7 W, Bluetooth Mesh connectivity, and a 25,000-hour lifespan, delivering Alexa-controlled dimming without a hub. Its exclusive Alexa support and indoor-only design restrict broader smart-home integration. Perfect for Alexa-centric households needing reliable mesh coverage.

Professional reviewers praise the Sengled B11-N11 for its hub-free Bluetooth Mesh that delivers whole-home coverage without taxing Wi-Fi networks, its high CRI 90 and 800-lumens output for vibrant soft-white light, and its effortless Alexa discovery process. However, they criticize its exclusive reliance on Alexa, the absence of Energy Star certification, and its indoor-only design, which limit its appeal to broader smart-home ecosystems and outdoor use cases.
Everyday users generally commend the bulb's easy Alexa integration, reliable mesh range, bright yet warm illumination, and long lifespan. Recurring concerns revolve around the Alexa-only limitation, lack of Energy Star certification, and the indoor-only restriction, with some noting occasional Bluetooth range inconsistencies when mesh repeaters are insufficient.
