Welcome to the “Made For Google” simple set up for your C by GE lights and Google Assistant!

"Made for Google" products, like our C by GE light bulbs, are designed to have a simple set up and a direct connection to a Google Home device through the Google Home app.

IMPORTANT: When you set up your C by GE light bulbs with this Made For Google simple setup, your bulbs will solely be controlled through the Google Home app and your Google Voice Assistant. You will not be able to connect your bulbs to the C by GE app.
