GE LED+ Color Changing PAR38 Outdoor LED Light Bulbs with Remote

In this review the GE LED+ PAR38 color changing floodlight is evaluated for outdoor homeowners who want simple, flexible accent lighting without extra hubs or apps. The biggest reason to buy is the straightforward setup: screw into any E26 medium base, use the included remote to change between 8 vivid RGB colors and white, and control up to 10 bulbs within about 20 ft for coordinated scenes. The review focuses on real-world use on patios, walkways and seasonal decor where ease of installation and reliable remote control matter most.

Key Features

• Simple setup: The bulb fits any E26 medium base and requires only the included remote and the fixture power to operate, so installation is fast and tool-free.
• Color options: Choose from 8 RGB vivid colors plus white to create party tones, subtle accents or seasonal displays without an app or WiFi.
• Multi-light control: One remote can control up to 10 LED+ bulbs within approximately 20 ft, allowing coordinated lighting across a patio or walkway.
• Energy efficiency: These PAR38 bulbs use about 8.5 watts while delivering the output of a traditional 60-watt bulb, helping reduce energy use and long-term costs.
• Outdoor rating: Designed as an outdoor floodlight for fixtures like porch and landscape lamps, the bulbs work well under eaves and in common exterior housings.
• Included kit: The 3-pack includes three bulbs, a remote and a quick start guide so everything needed for basic multi-light setups is in the box.

Who It's For

This product is a solid pick for homeowners who want easy-to-use decorative outdoor lighting without the complexity of apps, hubs or WiFi. It is especially useful for people lighting patios, walkways, outdoor entertaining spaces and seasonal displays where quick color changes and dimming via remote are handy.

People who want advanced smart-home integration, voice control or long-range mesh coordination should look elsewhere, since control is local to the included remote and limited to about 20 ft for multi-bulb syncing.
