5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent mood lighting
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024
I have Hue bulbs throughout my house and I couldn’t be happier with them. These white ambience and color bulbs are great for using in my table lamps and sconces. They give off plenty of light and Philips has tons of light recipes to choose from in their app so you can set the mood according to how you feel. You can also create your own light setting. These light will work with Bluetooth or for a full slate of settings you can connect them with the Hue bridge. If you are going to use more than 10 lights then you must use the bridge. I love these lights and highly recommend them. They aren’t cheap but they are worth it especially if you are just starting out with smart lighting as no other company offers you the quality and variety of lights that Philips does. If you use Apple HomeKit these work great. They also connect to Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control. I personally prefer the security and the user interface of Apple but I have tried it with Alexa as well and was happy with the results. You can’t go wrong with these lights. They work great straight out of the box. Setup is a breeze and you can start using them within minutes. I like that I can program them to turn on when it senses me coming up the driveway so I never have to enter a dark house. You can also set them to turn on and off according to whatever schedule you want. They are truly amazing. Once you buy one you will want more and more of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some Of The Best Smart Bulbs On The Market!
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2022
Ever since I went to a large electronics retail store near me to get something totally different than these bulbs and saw the Philips Hue demonstrated in concert with what I was looking for, I was hooked on them. I have them throughout my home and have them in my office at work. I have about 30 of them in my house and 10 of them in my office. To say the least, I am more than satisfied with the Philips Hue products.

Now the review…

Philips have been making bulbs for many years and then when they broke into the industry of smart wifi bulbs, they became quite the hit. Pair the hue bulbs with the Hue Bridge and the app, one’s creative side can really shine.

The Build Quality.

These bulbs have a little heft to them whereas there is a lot of technology that needs to be crammed into a space the size … well the size of a light bulb. The build quality in my opinion is pretty solid and done well. The illumination part diffuses the LEDs used in these bulbs are very smooth and do not see any hot spots whatsoever from the LEDS inside. The colors produced from the RGB LEDS are pretty rich and vibrant but as in every RGB style bulb, the light output will vary from color to color and different white temperatures. Case in point. If you choose the bulbs to light up in blue, the overall Lumens factor will be less than if you choose to use Yellow or other bright colors of the spectrum. But if you go with the white ambiance aspect, the whites will pretty much be equal in Lumens factor from the lower temperature like 2700K to the higher temperatures like 6500k.

Features.

These bulbs are full of them when you connect them with the Hue bridge. You can have them turn on and off with the use of Google Home, Assistant or Alexa. You can turn them on or off with the use of the user-friendly app and even turn them on or off when you are out and about as long as you have the app connected to the cloud server set up within your smart home. You can set up various different scenes as long as you have multiple Hue Bulbs. Scenes really don’t look great or seems simplistic if you have just one bulb. To get the best results, I recommend 5 or more of the Hue Bulbs in a room to get the different color scenes to show off well. (Refer to the bedroom pic I posted with this review.)
The latest versions of the Hue Bulbs can be operated via Bluetooth on the dedicated Bluetooth version of the Hue app. So, with bulbs having the Bluetooth technology, you do not need to have the Hue Bridge. The downside to that is you will not be able to set up multiple rooms and you can only control 10 Hue Bulbs via Bluetooth vs. up to 50 Hue Bulbs with using the Hue Bridge.
If there is anything that would be considered a downfall to these bulbs, is they are a bit on the pricy side. I have a few thousand dollars invested in my Hue Echo System and love everything about these bulbs. That would be the only flaw I can find with them.

The Recap.

These are some of the top of the line of smart bulbs. Can you find cheaper bulbs as far as costs is concerned? Yes, you can. But the saying goes, “You get what you pay for.” And that holds true with these bulbs. If you are willing to invest into the Hue System, you won’t be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great colors, 0 issues in the 2-3 years I've used Hue lights
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2021
I love these lights, I use 6 A19 bulbs and 4 BR30 bulbs for the kitchen. I have the 6 bulbs spread between 2 bedrooms and a bathroom.
I started getting these in 2018, and have bought a couple more each year. So far, I have had no issues. I see some low reviews for Google Assistant, I can't say anything on the Google stuff - I use the Hue Hub and Echo Show/Echo dots.

Using Hue Hub and Echo, I've so far never had a connection issue with these bulbs, like I have had with cheaper bulbs I tried in the past. I have bedroom lights set to turn on when my alarm goes off, and they have never failed so far. Echo and Hub both find the lights right away, and I can set routines with either app. I never bothered to look at the instructions the bulbs come with, if you have connected any smart devices to apps before, there isn't much to it. Turn on the bulb, and Echo/Hub will find it. Just note that if you have a power outage, the bulbs will typically turn themselves ON when power is back...that can be a little jarring at 3am! You can also set the bulb to remember it's last setting, so if you flick off/on the light switch (normally leave the switch ON all the time), it will turn on at the same color/brightness it was last.

I use the base wattage bulbs, and they have been perfect for me, but I generally keep my lights lower, such as 10% for bedroom lighting, and around 60% for my kitchen. At 100%, it's more than bright enough for me. Colors look great, and make my home office way more comfortable. Using a setting like "energize" in the office helps my eyes feel less sore, I'm big on setting just the right color for working.

I have given these lights a 5, because I have never had an issue with the 10 total I have (and may be getting 4 more today), I've never had an issue between these bulbs and my phone apps Echo/Hue Hub, lighting is great and color is what I wanted in a bulb. I love smart-lights, and after testing cheaper ones, these have been much easter to work with (in my experience), and unlike my old ones they have always stayed connected to my apps. 3 years so far with never having to reconnect is a win for me. Just bear in mind, I can only speak to using Echo and Hue Hub with them.
