75-Watt Equivalent A19 Smart LED Soft White (2700K) Light Bulb with Bluetooth (1-Pack)

Bought this to replace a 60-watt equivalent and it certainly brightens up the room. It connected to the hub on the first try and immediately replaced the previous bulb in remote switch triggers and automations. Philips Hue is the go-to for your smart home setup.

This bulb was a great addition to a spot that always gets left on at the top of the stairs. It was easy to install. The app instantly recognized the bulb. I was able to add it to Alex and use voice commands. The color changing feature is almost too much fun for my boys. I love having my lights on a schedule and being able to control them from anywhere.

These lights are nice. I put them in the kitchen. I could find no instructions on how to setup. I do have the Quick Start Guide which pretty much tells you to go to a website to see instructions. The actual instructions listed on the tiny paper isn't helpful at all. Not for technically challenged people who have no clue what a QR code is. Since we had prior experience with this type of bulb we didn't need instructions. These made a nice addition to the kitchen. Ours is setup with Alexa. Wide range of brightness. I like a bright kitchen. My hubby does not so it's nice to not have to get off the couch to turn off a super bright light glaring on the TV or leaving it at a low level for the kids to see when they go into the kitchen. And makes a great nightlight without having to use tiny plug in lights that are never bright enough. I may get some for my outside lights since we have 3 that come on at the same time so if one of the kids leaves the porch light on it burns 3 bulbs all day. We can set it to schedule when the bulbs come on so even if they leave the switch on, the bulbs can be turned off when we want.

I have always done everything within my ability to take advantage of the ever growing smart home technology. This Philip Hue soft white bulb is the latest and at the price point, it is very great. It took nothing to link it to the app. Just screwed the bulb in and opened the app and connected it directly to app through Bluetooth technology. It has been flawless and being able to remotely control these bulbs makes it a must have any tech savvy person out there. It can be connected to the hue hub for more features like offsite control through your mobile app. I am really happy with these bulbs and highly recommend them.

I have been adding devices to my Alexa controls and so far I've settled on smart switches. This is my first smart bulbs. The softwhite light is great. Low power consumption and gentle but full lighting for the lamps. 800 Lumen aka 60 watts - a good light for close in reading or general room lighting. The Alexa control via Bluetooth was easy to set up. I screwed in a bulb and turned on the light. Opened the Alexa app on my phone and had it discover new devices. A minute later I had full control.

We love our Philips hue system, controlled in our case with our Alexa. Phillips is also compatiable with Google - Hey Google. The light from these bulbs is just perfect for most areas in the home. The are 800 lumens, about 60 watts of light power. With a standard base they will fit lamps, ceiling lights and even some fan lights. As an LED, they will provide hours and hours of light. We also appreciate that these lights are dimmable - so you can set for low light or even as a night light. Try them, I think you will like their features!

Continuing to replace my few remaining conventional light bulbs, I decided to get these LED bulbs that can be controlled by my smart phone through the internet. The bulbs provide a nice white light for a fraction of the energy that a conventional bulb uses. Sized to fit any conventional socket, they work anywhere. Easy to set up and use the smart phone for control, on and off, dimming, timed use during the day or night. Lots of flexibility.

The Philips Hue product line has improved over the years, their software especially is now mature and just works as it should. These light bulbs can be operated using either BlueTooth or via their hub. There are two different apps for BlueTooth or hub control. Whichever method you elect to use, the installation is simple. For Bluetooth you simply write down the serial number on the bulb and screw it into a socket. Add the light in the app and follow the steps. For hub users, we simply let it search for new bulbs and then once found, name them and drag them into an existing, or new, room. The software has nice features, such as when configuring a specific light, it blink that light giving you the feedback that you are picking the right one. I installed them in my study, naming them ‘desk’ and ‘laser’ (as it is next to the printer) and I was able to tell the Google assistant to turn them on and off by name right away. The package is secure and even the tiny instruction leaflets come in their own color printed box within the pack of 2 lights. You get two bulbs each capable of producing 800 lumens (2700 Kelvin) and consuming 9.5 Watts. They are expected to last 25000 hours (which is almost 3 years if left on 24x7). Rather comically the phone number to call for help has been printed backwards on the box “0050-555-800-1” should be 1-800-555-0050, no doubt that will get corrected on the next print run.

I have been using Phillips Hue since their first version and this updated product with bluetooth is really awesome. It doesn't require buying the Hue Bridge, which means you can buy a few for a lower up front cost - but it still works if you already have a bridge. Setting up new bulbs from the app is a breeze, they really have that part figured out (you just plug it in, go to settings and search for new bulbs and voila!). Also the color and temperature of the while light is very nice, and the dim settings have a very wide range.

I am well informed with Philips Hue products. My home is filled with them and I love how easily they integrate with my smart home’s ecosystem. I use Apple Home (HomeKit) as our platform of choice and this bulb easily fits right into the ‘family’. My observations: • Let me start with saying that I have the Hue Bridge. However, if you are just breaking into this product line and using these Hue bulbs/lights you can add up to 10 lights just using the Bluetooth app before you even need a Bridge. With that said, if you want even more control and options I highly recommend you buy a Hue bridge. They are relatively inexpensive and it opens up an entire new word of Hue benefits and will allow you to build your smart home around their product line. • This is a 17 watt LED (100 watt equivalent) bulb and extremely bright (or dim) if you want it to be. I like the versatility of these lights and the full control of dimming and setting the mood for the room. • Something I like about these bulbs is how they are cool to the touch even when on at full brightness. Because the stay cool they don’t create extra heat in your house, which is very important in the summer time. Something else I like is they are quiet. No hum and no noise comes out of these bulbs. They are super quiet. • The product line is well supported and versatile to cover your needs. You can add Hue switches, motion sensors, lightstrips, and really way more than I mention in this review. • Set up of bulb(s) is about as easy (and fun) as it gets. Once you pull down the app, you will be enjoying these quickly. I’ll admit that I’m a huge fan of Philips Hue. I’ve had their products for around 3 years and truly love how they have improved the ambiance and conveniences of our home. I’ve also never had even one issue with any of their products which is saying a lot. I recommend this Hue bulb and once you get into the Hue product line I’m confident it will lead to you to buying others Hue lights and accessories.
