1. Smart bulbs are generally bad. Smart switches are much better.
2. Smart bulbs require the switch be turned on. Do you think everyone in your home or who visits your home will never turn the switch off? You're definitely wrong (though maybe you don't care when your bulb won't run its automation or respond to a voice command and you need to go flip the switch again)
3. wifi in any smart devices (like these bulbs) is horrible. Get a hub and run z-wave (or, if you must, zigbee).
4. YMMV - there will surely be people who disagree, maybe pretty strongly, with statements like my strongly worded and strongly held opinion that "wifi + smart == terrible"
Do they light up by default if never connected to network?

original Bluetooth bulbs were garbage and they never resolved those issues. App is terrible as well.
