Easy smart lighting. Add a white ambiance light bulb with warm white to cool daylight to give the right light for daily tasks. Control instantly via Bluetooth in one room, or pair with a Hue Bridge (sold separately) to unlock the full set of smart lighting features.
Q: My current lights are BR40's. Will the BR30's fit or do I need to replace the canister?
A: undefined
A: These lights are dimmable and color temperature adjustable. You can dial them into exactly what you want. Make sure you have a Hue Bridge to use them otherwise check out Phillips other line of smart bulbs that only require WiFi to work, Wiz.
A: Yes, they come preset with four scenes but you can change the scenes and bulbs to whatever you want them to be. You can even create new scenes.
A: Actually that's incorrect. The ambiance bulb is the dimmest BR30 that Hue sells. The non-ambience, non color changing Hue BR30 is (at least) 150 lumens brighter. It's less than 3000K color temperature so closer to a warm old incandescent bulb. I can't actually find any specs for color temp range for these adjustable ambience bulbs, but at 650 lumens, you'll need more than one bulb to light any area you actually need to see in.
A: Hi Linda, Any BR30 can/housing will work. I’d recommend taking your measurements and pictures to your local hardware store in case of special considerationS (height of the can, connectivity, etc). There are also various trims to select from based on personal preference. Good luck.
Q: Do these work well with Google Home?
A: Yes, as long as you have a Hue Bridge and a google home account.
Q: Do I need a bridge for this?
A: This version is bluetooth so you don't need the bridge with this bulb but if you want more options with your lighting you can use this bulb with the bridge later on.
