Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super bright light, saturated colors super customizable. My whole house is HUE-D up. Hue’s app excels as well as the bulbs when compared to competitors. Hue costs more but it’s worth it. The lights turn automatically on when you enter the room. It takes like five seconds to set up. I have bulbs over 10 years old from 2012 and there’s still shining bright.

I love these bulbs, I've replaced every bulb in my bedroom and stairs well area with these. And I can't say enough good thing about these bulbs over time. I plan on having these throughout my house. Best light bulb ever

Much better than the 1100 lm lightbulbs from Phillips. It’s a little pricey, and I would prefer for it to be a little bit brighter, but much brighter than the 1100 lm and I’d recommend these for sure over those. Picture shows light brightness at 50%.

I already have several hue bulbs and love them all. This is the higher 100watt version and is great for throwing a lot of light on the wall even through a lamp shade.

Nice lights. In my opinion the best RGB smart lights.

Lightbulb is simple to use and easy to set up within the house. The lights are bright, and you will not be disappointed. 

Great functionality, works well with Amazon echo for voice control of all features.

Love the mood change with these lights I would recommend

Used hue bulbs for years and have never had any issues. They last forever.

Expensive compared to other lower lumen bulbs, shouldnt be such a difference.

I can't tell the difference between the 800 and 1600 bulb. Getting ready to return it. 1600 is on the right.

Philips Hue bulbs are just great. They might be pricey but they are worth it. The setup, connectivity and standard (and advanced) features supported with the Philips Hue bulbs make them stand out from the rest. I recommend them over the competition so I will just cover a comparison between previous Philips hue bulbs with the e26 bulb base (there are the 60W and 75W equivalent a19 bulbs) Brightness (lumen output): This is the key distinguishing factor for me. I am very glad that they finally came out with a 100Watt equivalent bulb. Previous versions are great (I have many 60watt equivalent bulbs) but they do not reach the normal levels of brightness (lumens) one might want. All other aspects: -same great connectivity as all other bulbs -the a21 is larger in both height and diameter of the a19 bulb so it may limit their use in some light fixtures but usually there is no issue. I suggest checking the dimensions before buying just in case you aren’t sure. -the 100W (a21) gives off more heat than the 60W and 75W bulbs (which is the case for basically any higher watt bulb) -the 100W (a21) does have better light distribution vs the 60W and 75W (a19s)

use these all around my house, i do also have the hub so I get most features out of these bulbs. plenty bright, a tad tall for some fixtures, but generally most reliable of all my smart bulbs. some color registration is off (talking about you purple) but most colors represent accurately enough.

As other reviewer have stated, these bulbs are brigher than the 800 lumen bulbs in whites. There's not much of a different when using colored hues. The bulbs are also a little bigger than the 800 lumen bulbs. Quality hue products that I've come to expect - but gaaaaah so expensive. But I'll never have to replace them. So there's that at least.

We've used Hue lights for many years, and the one complaint we've had is that the standard A19 Color/White bulbs are not the brightest. With that in mind, we decided to try a pair of the A21s in the location we notice it most: the lights on each side of our couch in the living room. It's a large area, and the standard A19s always looked dim. What a pleasant surprise. These A21s, when doing white or shades of white, are much brighter. It's quite noticeable, and a welcome change in the room. Colors aren't really much brighter, but that's not an issue. They're not cheap, but if you're into the Hue ecosystem and want a brighter light, these do the trick nicely. And like every Hue light, they work flawlessly.

I had these lights for more than 3 years and it's been so great. The quality of the light colors is amazing depending on your environment. Since my room is small, these lights really light up..

BRIGHT and effective - which is exactly what I was looking for. No issues with app use or programing. I have it in a bedside lamp pointed at my face and it's set to turn on a few minutes before my alarm. On the brightest white-light setting it works well to help wake me up in the morning.

I have had a Hue bridge for several years and got out of the habit of using automations and scenes. Set it up again for the holidays and now I remember how great it is. App is easy to use, many scenes available and generally really fun to use lighting to set a vibe.

I love these lights so much that I went and purchased more and will be purchasing more. Highly recommend recommended.

This bulb works 10x better than my previous bulb. My old one kept on crashing and wouldnt sync up with alexa to work with my alarms. This bulb hasnt given me any issues. The saying is true...you pay for what you get!
