    Absolutely love our Philips Hue bulbs. They’re in most common areas of our house. The scenes allow for quick changes based on needs. For us this means having a headache mode, a focus mode, and a night light mode. There are fun seasonal scenes as well for most major holidays. The app makes them easy to connect and we use them on both the Philips Hue app and our Google Home app

    We love the Hue products and think they create such a great space in our home. Easy to install and setup (for the most part…) and a great way to decorate without buying more furniture ha ha

    Love the Philips Hue light system! I have these around my house and the various light colors and settings are more helpful than I’d anticipated. Occasionally I do have a light that just stops working out of nowhere and won’t reconnect, but that’s rare.

    I installed the BR30 bluetooth bulb into our fireplace spotlight and connected it to our Alexa home assistant. I have a hue bridge but chose to keep this one with just voice control for entering the house with our hands full. Alexa can set it to just about any color. Looks beautiful when paired with our Hue Play light bars. Great deal at Best Buy too, you wont be dissappointed!

    These bulbs are honestly great. I’m using them in a twin set of floor lamps. So for these to be in a twin pack was the perfect bundle. They look and work great with my Hue system I highly recommend them.

    Love it and I only wish I had the money for 20 more to complete my entire basement. I need more sales for my budget and to complete my goal. One light at a time I guess

    I purchased 4 bulbs total to replace the existing BR30 bulbs in my kitchen so that I could control them with my phone, Google Home and my Alexa echo. They were a perfect fit for the ceiling cans and set up was quick and easy. Now I can control from anywhere in the house. These bulbs are not dim-able but I didn't need them to be. Perfect fit, perfect white color color tones, perfect set up....couldn't be better.

    This is my 5th purchase of Hue product bulbs and they have worked with no problems. Syncing to my Home app was a breeze. I have had them for over 7 years now and I have yet had to replace any of them. They are a great accent to your home.

    I am thrilled with the Philips Hue BR30 White and Color Ambiance Smart Bulb! This product has exceeded my expectations in every way. The reliability of these bulbs is outstanding; they have consistently worked flawlessly without any issues. I've been using them for over a year now, and the longevity is impressive—no signs of dimming or wear at all. The ability to adjust both the white and color ambiance has completely transformed my home lighting experience. The colors are vibrant, and the range of white tones allows for perfect lighting in any setting, whether it's for a cozy evening or a bright, productive work environment. Additionally, the integration with smart home systems is seamless. Controlling the lights through my phone or voice commands adds incredible convenience to my daily routine. The setup was straightforward, and the Philips Hue app is user-friendly and intuitive. Overall, these smart bulbs are a fantastic investment. They are reliable, long-lasting, and offer a versatile lighting solution that enhances any space. Highly recommended!

    I love the Hue Lighting system. These canister bulbs are a perfect addition to our complete lighting system. Easy to program and obviously easy to install. They are a bit pricy compared to other lighting options, but in my opinion, worth the cost.

    Use these to replace the standard recessed lighting in my house. These look beautiful, last long and are seamlessly compatible with my alexa and google smart home setup. A bit on the expensive side but I wouldn't get anything else.
