The first is your standard aline-shaped bulb meant for general use while the other is an indoor floodlight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Each light can be controlled via the official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gelighting.com\/cync-smart-home-app\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.gelighting.com\/cync-smart-home-app\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Cync app<\/u><\/a><span> (opens in new tab)<\/span> to show off \u201cmulti-color light shows, on-device music syncing, and vivid light effects that [can] display [up to] 16 million colors\u2026\u201d Plus, they can all display multiple colors at the same time.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"false\" data-swipeable=\"true\" data-hydrate=\"true\" data-reactroot id=\"slice-container-imageGallery-3\">\n<figure data-bordeaux-image-check=\"true\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.techradar.com\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" alt=\"Lamp Dynamic Effects\"><\/p>\n<\/div><figcaption><span itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: GE Lighting)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Neon Rope looks like a typical light strip on the surface, but it\u2019s rigidity allows it to be bent in whatever shape for decoration.
