    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.

    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.

    Great bulbs. Very easy to set up. (I have a hub). The hue app allows for the full potential of the bulbs to be used. Better HomeKit integration would be nice but it covers all the bases. Price could be better but if you got the money they are a good buy.

    Great light bulb. Purchase for a decorative lamppost and front porch hanging lantern. one light each replaced 6 total lights and now we also have color options, including candlelight, which is decent. Pricey, but they last a while.

    We bought 3 of these lights for a living room, Hunter fan that is controlled by an RF (I think RF) remote control for the fan and the lights. They’re fun to use but one thing I didn’t realize was that the dimmer function on the fan messes with the Hue bulbs and causes them to flicker when turned to full power. The way I mitigated this was to set the brightness to just below full power and this helps remove the flickering. Aside from that, the lights are good and integrate just as easily with a Hue set up. I wish they weren’t so expensive but it is what it is.

    Philips Hue E12

    My biggest issue is the lack in variety for different sockets. Lighting in my room wasn't the best due to lack of natural lighting, and the lightbulbs provided by my community were not helping much. So I was hoping that using one of these would help with that. However, the socket didn't fit, so I had to get a converter. But even then, it didn't fit in the lamp of the ceiling fan. I think it is a good product if you have the flexibility of being to adapt light fixtures to work with the light bulbs.

    Good Bulb, not remotely cost effective

    These are fairly decent bulbs as the only real candelabra bulb answer for Hue, that's the only thing 4* about it. I think the price is quite absurd, I'd give that 2* by itself. However, the availability of these is into some kind of negative star point in comparison to the other two points above. Again, completely decent bulb, but I'm literally buying replacement light kits for all of my current candelabra ones because that plus regular Hue bulbs is egregiously more cost effective.

    Title basically says it all. The cost of the bulb is absolutely insane. Especially since most fixtures which take candelabra bulbs require 3 or more. I often regret getting dragged into the hue ecosystem but nothing quite can match it yet. Hopefully soon lol

    Super easy to install and connect! I ordered seven and I’ve had them for about a month now. Honestly no major problems. If I had to complain about something, it would be the fact that there’s a slight delay whenever I turn the lights on (just like the A19’s) but it’s not a huge deal. They really should start selling multi-packs though. They can get pricey.

    Love the Phillips hue ecosystem and the ease of setting up rooms and environments inside and outside. There are cheaper Options for the lights and these aren’t super bright which is why I am giving 4-stars.

    Works well. Once you get close to 50 hue bulbs you need to have a second hub. The only problem with a second hub is the app doesn’t integrate it well and it’s easier to use third party apps to manage 2 or more hubs.

    Product is fantastic and emits a bright light of your choosing. The integration and ecosystem is seamless, but still tough to justify for a $50 bulb

    These are great, recommendation for a room, buy AT least 2. Not as bright as standard bulbs. A bit pricey yes, but they pair and work perfectly.
