**Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**
The Philips Hue A19 Bluetooth 75W Smart LED Bulb has completely transformed my home lighting experience! From the moment I set it up, I was blown away by how easy it was to integrate into my smart home system. Using just the Hue Bluetooth app on my phone, I can control the lighting in any room with the tap of a button. The setup process was quick and straightforward—no need for a separate hub, which is a huge plus for someone who wants convenience without additional gadgets.
The variety of colors and ambiance settings this bulb offers is truly impressive. Whether I want a cool, crisp white light for working at my desk, a warm, relaxing glow for the evenings, or vibrant colors for hosting a party, this bulb does it all. The transition between colors is smooth, and the brightness is perfect—powerful enough to light up a room but also dimmable for creating a cozy atmosphere.
One of the standout features is the ability to sync the lights with music, movies, or games. It's an incredible experience to see the lights change in real-time, adding a whole new level of immersion to my entertainment setup. The scenes and routines available in the Hue app are another great feature, allowing me to set the perfect mood for any occasion. I love being able to program the lights to wake me up gently in the morning or to turn off gradually as I drift off to sleep.
Energy efficiency is also a major benefit of the Philips Hue bulbs. Despite the rich colors and bright output, these bulbs consume significantly less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, which is great for the environment and my electricity bill. The durability of the bulb is also worth mentioning; it feels like a solid, high-quality product that will last for years.
Overall, the Philips Hue A19 Bluetooth 75W Smart LED Bulb is a game-changer. It's not just a light bulb—it's a way to personalize and enhance your living space in countless ways. I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to add smart, customizable, and energy-efficient lighting to their home. Five stars all the way!

To Hue Or Not To Hue...

The ONLY thing keeping me from a 5⭐ review is the price. Even though the Hue is more expensive than a number of great lesser priced options, there are some very cool capabilities the app has that others don't currently. For "whole home scenes" I use these. I can set up my Hue lights to cycle through a set color pallette at a specific speed and set that to happen from one room to the next. It is really fun.
Then there is the hue sync box that uses the HDMI signal to coordinate specified lights with your display. Wowza!
The bulbs are reliable, the app is easy to us and scenes you build are addressable by Google Home. I can say "Hey Google we need a little Christmas" to start a holiday light show.
If you want cool, easy to build multi room scenes or to sunchronize without added cameras (like competitors) these are your bulbs.
If you want smart + color and that's all, there are cheaper options.

It's so easy to skip these lights because of the price. However I can count on these bulbs through power flashes, Internet outages, and from a distance. My rental has crappy and ancient wiring so these are regular occurrences. The hue ecosystem is so reliable for me that I often use it directly instead of going through google or Amazon. Take your time to set them up and there is little they can't do. I also highly recommend buying the RUNLESSWIRE switches. Great maintenance free switch that works with the hub.

I love the Philips Hue light system. I have these bulbs all around my house for ambient lighting. If I’m working from home and need brighter white light for concentration, I can make it happen. If it’s Saturday evening and I want just enough light to relax, I can make it happen. If I want to open my window curtains and turn on some festive holiday colors, I can make it happen. The system is fairly simple to set up. Occasionally I do have a bulb that disconnects and won’t reconnect, which is upsetting but rare. It works well with Google Home virtual assistant.

I've always had Phillips Hue lights since they were carried by Best Buy and almost never had issues with them. Only time so far is 1 bulb that keeps flickering randomly but all I do is disconnect and reconnect it by using the app and its fixed. Thats saying quite a bit because I've tried other lights and they didnt last nearly as long or have the simplicity of setup and control.

I was originally super hesitant to make the move to Hue because I didn't want to fool with a hub, but after how much time I probably spent collectively on fighting with the cheaper, non-hub, WiFi-connected bulbs, which failed to connect and required resetting constantly, I decided it was worth it to switch to a Hue hub and replace all my cheap smart bulbs with Hue bulbs. Honestly, it wasn't cheap, but I've not had a single issue with them staying connected since I made the switch. If you can afford it, it's worth it. At some point, I had to ask myself how much my time was worth, and ultimately, my time is worth more to me than the cost of the Hue hub and bulbs.

Overall I love these lights they are great with my Alexa. I got them for my mom. We’ve been trying to make her house smarter over the years. The installation process with the hub is a little bit difficult if all of the lights don’t work. We had to delete the app the Hue app and the Alexa app and start all over several times. They work even if you accidentally touch the light switches which was a big issue for me because we’ve lived in this house for 15 years. The necessary supports for tuning the lights to your TV is absolutely ridiculously priced. It’s an unnecessary evil. I’m very upset with that.

Ive had these lights for awhile now, and with the app, it has never failed to set a mood! Purple, Pink, Blue lights across the room and some music can always get me dancing or vibing out! I have a lot of plants and the lighting really adds to the jungle feeling. The colors can change around how you like it with the app!!! If you like partying or establishing a vibe in your space, I HIGHLY recommend the lights.

Love the Phillips Hue system! Total game changer for my home. Pricey but worth it, in my opinion. One of the open box bulbs I purchased did not work, but the return was simple. I also bought a few plugs for lights that are not compatible with Hue bulbs.

I wasn’t expecting to like these bulbs as much as I have. I am a creative professional, and the ability to change the color so seamlessly, along with the color scenes have been amazing to create a fantastic space to be creative. The only downside I have found is that some colors are not as bright as other hues. Also, I paired the bulbs with a Hue Remote, and it is disappointing how you cannot cycle between the different scenes with it.

Imagine transforming your room with a tap on your phone, from sun-kissed morning glow to cozy candlelight. That's the magic of the Philips Hue bulb. ✨
Forget dull bulbs. Philips Hue paints your world in 16 million shades, letting you create ambiance for any mood. Want to relax? Bathe in calming blues. Need to focus? Crank up the cool whites. Feeling festive? Party with vibrant purples!
Smart control is a dream. Adjust brightness, set schedules, and sync with movies for immersive entertainment. Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri become your light crew, letting you command the scene with your voice.
Energy savings? Check. The Hue bulb lasts for 25,000 hours, cutting down on replacements and your electricity bill. Pricey? Maybe upfront, but consider it an investment in endless lighting possibilities. ✨
Bottom line: Philips Hue isn't just a bulb, it's a gateway to creative lighting freedom. So ditch the boring and light up your life with Hue!

These things are expensive, but they are great quality. I don't like the fact that you need a bridge for most of the features when other products don't have the same need for similar features.
