White Ambiance A19 LED 60W Equivalent Dimmable Smart Wireless Light Bulb (2 Pack)

So far the Philips Hue product line has been great and I am happy I decided to purchase it. I have the wink system and other product lines were much more difficult to link to and use on either app. I have purchased approximately$1200 of Philips Hue products since the first trial purchase about 3 weeks ago.

Great product: Feature: the ability to remotely configure the brightness and yellowness to blueness at various times of day is what stands out to me. Not as expensive as getting the color bulbs, but more expensive than the white bulbs that also are HUE controllable but the Ambience control from deep yellow to bright white/blue is amazing. I've had these bulbs (this was an order of two packs - i.e. 4 bulbs total) now since Sept 22, 2017. I bought a starter pack (white) back in February 2017 with the hub and those are going strong (and outside!). I use the Ambience bulbs inside, where they are best suited for bedrooms and living room and desks and after testing the starter pack, decided where the white ones would go. I'm considering Philips other products to replace our kitchen light, will see.... but the Ambience bulbs are good in color and brightness and variability in yellow-white color to me. It's hard for me to give a 5 star review - the only downside is the expense really. I would actually give it 4 1/2 otherwise if there was a place to indicate that but actually Home Depot had the best price/free shipping/and availability (oddly enough that was an issue) of the LATEST version of the Philips Hue product. Be sure when shopping you're not getting the older versions of the bulbs, Philips has a list of them online so you can double check. So i feel justified in giving the product a 5 star review. I'll start with Con then Pro, since Con is short: Con: Only thing hopefully they'll come down a little in price a little bit more over time, but still maintain the quality. Also NOTE: Requires that you have Philips' Hue Hub, which you can get as part of a separate starter pack and will support 50 bulbs (my home only has.... 39 i think total I could end up with if i replaced them all, not that i plan to do that.... but one hub generally should cover one home!). This really is a PRO though, some people will think it's a CON because you had to get something else with it. Just start with one of the starter packs. This is an ADDON after that. Pro: I've found Home Depot has had the best deals on the Philips Hue bulb products lately - ordered on 19th, free ships, received on 22nd. I can't complain about that! Package was in great condition and clear instructions on how to install and setup with the software on your favorite smart device. Best thing for me is integration between HUE and other products/online systems to customize/automation of the bulbs - there are more and more out there. No problems with products. I don't have any dislikes about them so far, in fact, they give me piece of mind if i'm away from the home (programmable and random controls). So, i can't comment on Philips support since I haven't had to use it. See photos for how i've used two of them and the software panel (there are more than that - there are several panels for adjustment - scenes, color (blue-white to very yellow yellow). I think Philips (and other vendors) are doing the right thing to have a hub - which allows for the bulbs to be less expensive - but they're an investment in convenience, doesn't require timers, longevity (I have white hue bulbs from February and they're as bright as can be still). It's the longevity of the bulbs (LED) and remote capabilities along with constant updates from Philips Hue of their software makes it worth while. Also, the ability to voice command via my watch or phone to set them at various brightness, scenes, or off/on really makes a switch turning them on and off superfluous. Comparison: After trying one other brand earlier in the year for the patio, I decided I liked the Philips Hue better due to better software/ease of use, reliability, and customization via HUE and other third party connections. While the other brand bulb is still working fine, it the software isn't as easy to use or customize (confusing). HUE's is clear and easy.
