    Bright Hue Bulb for Reading

    I have over 30 hue products, mostly color Hue bulbs. I wanted Lights to shine down on the Living room couch area when a little more light is required. Since these are double the Lumins of my other hue bulbs, they really do the job. I have Alexa routines to Turn On Dim Reading Lights, Turn On Reading Lights and Turn On Bright Reading Lights. (50%, 75% and 100%)

    Bright Hue bulb

    Much brighter and a little bigger than the broken four year old 800 lumen Hue White bulb that it's replacing. Definitely agree with the 1600 lumen rating, it appears to be twice as bright. The light quality is good with a pleasant 2700K color. It was easy to pair with the Hue hub and responds quickly. Hopefully this one will last closer to it's rated 25,000 hour life!

    We have used hue lights for close to 10 years. Very happy with them overall. We had been wanting some higher wattage bulbs and these dont disappoint. They are MUCH brighter then the 60 watt. We have close to 50 bulbs plus other accessories, these were a great addition. Also love the 100 watt color bulbs as well.

    Buggy light/app experience. I couldn’t get it to update, and the app just kept rapidly connecting/disconnecting. It was unclear that this doesn’t work with HomeKit. Returned!

    These bulbs are so easy to setup with Amazon **** (can't say her name or else she'll wake up.) I like that these are equivalent to a 100 Watt incandescent bulb. It provides much more room-filling light than the standard 60 Watt bulbs. One thing to note though is that these bulbs are much taller than the smaller 60 Watt bulbs and will stick out above the tops of smaller lamps.

    The brightest Hue I've purchased to date, and for a great price. The Hue ecosystem is reliable and easy to use. Setup is a breeze and it connects easily with my Google Home setup. I recommend this product if you need lots of light. Be aware this bulb is longer than a normal bulb, so it doesn't fit in some smaller lamps without sticking above the shade.

    Awesome Smart Bulb

    Much brighter than the earlier generation that were limited to 60W. Only minor complaint is if you have a small fixture the bulb is pretty tall. Connected to hub easily. A little expensive compared to other brands.

    Originally bought these for the pendant lights over kitchen Island. But due to being a longer bulb they were overly blinding. Where these shined the best was in the living room for the lamps. They replaced the old 65w hue color bulbs. So i am very happy with the purchase and price for these particular bulbs. They are only white which was fine due to not changing the color in the living room often. I have a strip for the back of the TV for that.

    We are heavily invested in the Hue eco-system, indoor and out. I like the 100 watt in our floor lamps, we don't need color in them. Much brighter than the 75w but also much more expensive.

    Philips hue white 100W

    The Philips Hue White 100W light bulb is easy to install and integrate into a smart home. The light is bright and easily accessible through the Home Kit or Philips app. This light with the hue hub has many options at the finger tips and can be set up to turn on/off automatically at certain times of day. The light can be dimmed and lamps with the build would not require a dimming switch on the lamp.

    Every light in my house is a Hue, but the most of the white bulbs I have are the 60W equivalent. This 100W equivalent is very nice and bright, and it is nice that they have added Bluetooth to the new bulbs. Overall I’m very happy with the bulb, but I feel that they are a little overpriced.

    Bright - Almost Perfect

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

    I am so glad that Philips came out with a brighter hue bulb. It's the equivalent of a 100 watt bulb. It is noticeably brighter. The base is the same as a regular bulb. My two complaints would be the height, it's quite a bit taller and sticks out the top of my fixture and I wish there was more than one color temperature. It's the same color as the default color on the 800 lumen bulbs. Hopefully in the future Philips will update the colored bulbs and white spectrum bulbs.

    If your only complaint about the hue lights are not bright enough this bulb is for you. The bulb is very bright. This bulb gives 100 watts of brightness. It does not get hot either. I would recommend this bulb if you want the philips hue options but they are not bright enough

    Great light output with a nice warm color, and like other hue products work great with the hub. Downsides: - they are quite large, and barely fit in one of the fixtures I needed them for - they cannot dim like other hue bulbs, the lowest setting is still quite bright vs a more nightlight setting
