    ANOTHER EXCELLENT PHILLIPS HUE LIGHT!

    Outstanding addition to my extensive line of Phillips Hue lights. This particular light has worked beautifully as replacement for our old dull & dingy lights illuminating our wall sconce. While the price is a bit much, it's well worth it!

    Best lighting system out there!

    I have been slowly replacing all of my lights with the hue lighting system. I’m about halfway done so far, and every new light added is as pleasing as the first time I bought one. The mood in the house has changed dramatically, but the best part is, I can make a feel in the house to fit whatever mood I’m looking for. The app to control everything is so easy to use and can create scenes automatically for me. The ability to control entire rooms at the same time is convenient and intuitive. I just added lamp for the first time and didn’t realize it was battery powered! It has a charging dock that looks like it’s just sitting on a surface. You don’t even notice that it’s on anything. Seems like more of a base for the lamp than anything else. I’m hooked! I cant imagine ever getting a “regular “ bulb or light again. I’m simply amazed by the improvement it makes to the overall look and feel to our home.

    I started with Hue lights in 2020. I purchased these lights to go in a chandelier. Overall the Hue lights and app work well. The cons are 1) they do not work with dimmer switches so you have to replace the switch and 2) the integration with Google home is only okay.

    Excellent product but pricey. They are $55ea. I needed eight of them for two new light fixtures and they perform well for automation, voice control and color changing capabilities. Total Tech members are offered discounts on this product occasionally.

    Great little Candelabra style bulb. It was exactly what I needed. Changes to tons of different colors depending on how you're feeling. And connects to the Philips Hue ecosystem.

    Love all philips hue products. Finally pulled the trigger on adding these to my chandelier over my dining room table. Just love that ambiance you can get with these. I will say that the bulbs themselves are much latter than a normal e12 bulb.

    Love them. Put them in the nightstand lamps. They add an ambiance to my bedroom. The app works great and is easy to use. I don't have a bridge I just use Alexa. Will have to get one though when I get more lights in the near future.

    These are great for colorful additions to the room but they don’t last as long as other bulbs. I already had one fail on within 4 years.

    Best Bluetooth Smart Light Bulb So Far

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bright and full of colour (pun intended)! The customisation is fantastic for any setting I feel like making my room. Setup can be a bit finnicky if you're not familiar with smart devices, but besides the initial setup process the ease of use is great. I can easily change the brightness and colour, illuminating the entire look and feel of the room for any occasion, from watching movies and playing video games. Although I have not seemed to figure out how to integrate the Bluetooth version to Google Home, the native app (HUE) works perfectly fine on its own.

    Just about everything that I have tried from Hue is AWESOME. These bulbs can change any scenery so well. Relatively easy to use and manage. Sometimes I spend so much time in my office working that changing the scenery is essential. These bulbs do the job like no other.

    So many color and mood options, started out with the white bulbs but switched to the color when I saw all they could do. Still trying to set up the different automations one the app. The cost is pretty extreme for just 1 bulb but filled all the lights in my house with these bulbs and looking at the outdoor options for the future.
