    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 colors, easy integration with my home Hue bridge, very pleased with the results. Can easily switch from color to white using the Hue app. I have a house full of Hue bulbs of all different types. Love them.

    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.

    Definitely a difference from the cheap bulbs I had previously purchased off Amazon. The color quality is the best I’ve found.

    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.

    I now have several Hue bulbs and they work great. This one is used in the front porch so I can have it on with programs to deter criminals. I had a white/yellow one, but wanted the full color one in case I want to adjust color when I'm out on the porch. I just got the hue sync bridge and now my tv/music experience is taken to awesome new levels.

    I bought two of these and put them in some vintage stained glass lamps. Beautiful and Magical, are words to describe how it transformed these wonderful lamps with the Hue Bulbs. Any color, any brightness, you pick the mood you want. I use them with my Alexa's, super cool.

    Triple the price of the all white ones but nice to have color choices. When wifi modems didn't have enough to run alot of wifi devices Hue had a point with the hub but now a days the price is alittle ridiculous for a smart bulb if you have a modern wifi modem. Still hub is a plus in most cases. Had to buy an adapter so it would fit the ceiling fan as it has a more standard plug but less room for a full size bulb. These are tall so check your clearance.

    Expensive but I think totally worth it. Bulbs have a 2 year warranty. Bulbs with color are more expensive than ones that just have variations of white. All the bulbs work with the HUE hub (required) and can be controlled y the phone app or through Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant device. The app can be set up to control the bulbs remotely (internet connection required). You can control them individually or as a group (like 3 bulbs for a fan or a whole room that has multiple bulbs in multiple devices). You can even use voice commands to change the color (using basic ROYGBIV colors). I've had some of my bulbs for about 2 years now and I add a new bulb to the network every so often.
