White and Color Ambiance A19 75W Equivalent Dimmable LED Smart Light Bulb (2 Pack)

If you want top tier smart light bulbs that work in basically every smart home and on every major platform this is your answer and best option. I’ll quickly admit I’m a huge fan of Hue products. I have a home with plenty of them and each day I use them (several years) they still put a smile on my face. My observations of this bulb: • Set up is as simple as it gets. The app makes almost mistake proof on the set up. I have a Hue bridge (bought separately) and I use Apple HomeKit as my smart home platform so I can speak to that. I have many Hue products, so the bridge was important to me to get the most out of my set up. That said, you can buy up to 10 of these Bluetooth lights without the need for the bridge. It’s a great way to get started with several bulbs. I can assure you that you will get hooked fast and you will quickly want the Hue bridge. • This bulb has 1100 lumens and it’s bright. It’s a noticeable difference compared to my Hue bulbs that output 800 lumens. The dimming control is flawless and smooth. • The colors are accurate and vivid. I took pics of several colors. • Moving through the colors is easy with your voice, Philips hue app, Apple Home app, etc. In my setup I have no lag and colors adjusted almost instantly. • No noise or hum from the bulb, which is excellent. • Bulbs do not get hot, which means they won’t add unwanted heat to your room. • They are great in your existing lamps, bedroom lights, living room, office, etc. The options are endless so have fun with that. • Being able to get the right color for your mood or time of the day is outstanding and enjoyable. You can create routines and scenes. The scenes are game changers and a must to really get next level impact. • I’ve had Hue lights since the first generation and I still have not a bulb burn out. They sure seem to be made to last. This light and the Hue family is a strong choice. Once you see them in person and discover how easily they fit into your daily life, you are sold. This 1100 lumen Hue color and white ambiance light is about as perfect as it gets. I recommend.

I picked up this Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Dimmable LED Smart Light Bulb to add a dimmer light in the hall near my kids bedrooms. It installs like any other light bulb. To control the lights features you need to download the Phillips Hue BT app. Once the app is downloaded it connected to the light quickly with no effort. Literally took less than 15 seconds for the app to link to the bulb. The color varieties are endless, and dimmer feature is exactly what I wanted. I can’t wait to pick up more for around the house!

Phillips Hue Bulbs are un-matched when it comes to color selection, range and accuracy of color selection. The bulb puts out a significant amount of light and its output can be controlled to any output amount from 0 to 100%. I have a few other Hue light bulbs in the house (bought the starter kit last year) and for some reason this bulb takes about a half second longer to turn on than the other bulbs, for this reason I moved it out of a 3 light fixture and into a single light fixture as it looked strange every time the lights got turned on in the room with the delay. I updated the light through the bridge and was still having the same issue, so not entirely sure as to why there was a delay. Though if you put the light by itself in a single bulb light fixture it would be completely unnoticeable. I love what the Phillips hue system can do, with the various scenes to create what ever color combination you would like or playing around with the Hue Labs which allows you to make the lights flicker/change color as if someone was watching tv (great for making people think you are home) to having the lights flicker like a candle or re-creating a thunderstorm. But its biggest downfall is that the lights require the Bridge to work, without it the lights essentially just are glorified light bulbs. Given that there are plenty of bulbs out there that work without a hub/bridge, I’d recommend this only if you have other Hue products that you would like to sync together.

I have the Hue hub so I opted to use that rather than Bluetooth control (which has a limited range from my phone). Installation went very well and was easy to perform. I simply screwed the lightbulb into a socket, switched it on and I added the light in the Hue app. It found the new light and let me name it. It then suggested I drag it into one of my existing ‘rooms’ set up in the app, which I did. It all just worked. In addition to using the Hue Hub, one can control this light with Bluetooth or with their small portable wireless remote. The instructions provide a nice pictorial overview of setting it up with either of the three systems. I can switch the light on or off or set any color (or white) using voice control through the Google assistants or from the Hue app. It is nice and bright (1100 lumens using 10.5W which is equivalent to 75 Watts!) The whole Hue light system is highly recommended! Made in China Three year limited warranty

The Philips Hue white and color ambiance A19 light bulbs out perform all my other colored smart lights. In my experience, the color of the Hue lights is richer and much brighter. The Hue bulbs do require a hub to operate, but the upside of that is they respond quicker and don’t require a dedicated wifi channel. Trust me, the number of wifi channels a smart home uses will get out of control quickly and I have had to remove devices because of my router limitations. These bulbs are more expensive, but in my opinion, worth it.

Great lightbulb. Instructions are a little confusing but once done this bulb has so many great features. You are able to control it using your phone via the app (no hub needed, a huge plus). You can choose a bright cool white or a softer amber white. You can control the dimness/brightness to your preference. You can change the colors (100s of color possibilities). You can set a schedule so the light turns on and off at set times, create "moods" for different situations and turn that on with a touch. You can also connect this to your Google assistant or Alexa and control the light (all the features) with your voice. LOVE this light. Functional yet fun. Highly recommended.

Nearly all the bulbs in my house are equipped with the Philips Hue system, and they’ve always worked flawlessly. I have a mix of light strips and various bulbs, but I’m always happy to add another color bulb to the setup. These seem to be updated bulbs that have a few hundred more lumens and also include the option to be controlled with Bluetooth. I have a Philips Hue hub already, so that is how I’m using it which is better as you get more control over it. The colors are vibrant and bright and when you pair this with a nice lamp, it really adds a beautiful look to any room. The app allows you lots of control with different scenes and color schemes, so you can get this setup to just about any color you desire. It also works with Alexa so these bulbs can also be control by voice or routines. I’m very happy with these and will definitely be adding more to my home.

I have a number of hue light strips and lightbulbs. They are very easy to work with and I love that you can group them into a room and have different scenes that are easily accessible. I love the sunset, tropical, and many other scenes. The photos below capture just a few of the colors that you can make the bulb. It is very difficult to capture what they really look like in a photograph. You got a bunch of these working together in different parts of the room and it is really very enjoyable. I am glad I added this bulb into my collection.

Nice ambiance light bulb, great colors.

They work great with home assistant
