I bought this bulb when I was looking for a sunrise alarm clock, but I couldn't find one with the functions I wanted in my price range. I knew I wanted to be able to set it on my phone in case I wanted to wake up at a different time one day. I really like the sunrise function on this bulb. I can easily set it on my phone and have it only run the sunrise on weekdays (or days of your choice). Although I can't set more than one time on different days, it's easy enough to change if I need to. I don't think I would wake up from the sunrise alone, but I use it in a floor lamp, so it may work if you had it closer to your face. I set a regular alarm and start the sunrise at the alarm time, and have it end by the time I hit snooze a couple of times. I do feel more awake at the end of the sunrise. If you have the sun color match setting on, the sunrise comes all the way up to a bluer daylight and then resets to the sun shade for the time of day.
I also really enjoy the sunset feature. I run it while scrolling on my phone and by the time the sunrise is over, I know it's time to go to sleep. I even feel sleepier at the end of the sunset than I do without it. You can set the length of time you want the sunset to span (same with the sunrise). The shortest amount of time is 20 mins, but I wish I could set it for a speedier 10 min sunset when I want a quick unwind.
The app is easy to use, and if you have other Wyze products, they all live in the same app. I recommend setting up a widget for your home screen for easy on/off. It's super convenient to turn the light on from another room when you're walking to your room at night, or turn it off if you forgot to when leaving the room.
I haven't used too many of the other fun colors, but from playing around with them they are really cool! You can set any color you want and the app even has color and brightness options for different moods. The bulb is bright enough to light a decent sized room in a floor lamp, though the cooler colors seem brighter than the warmer colors. It's very easy to play with the color wheel to pick your perfect color/warmth and brightness though.
Overall, this bulb exceeded my expectations for the sunrise function I was looking for, and I'm enjoying playing with the other color and mood options as well! I never thought I would write such a long review for a lightbulb, but I'm really loving it that much.
