A: To provide light. Especially useful in dark areas and at night.
A: Only plug the hub to the power socket and to your router (included cables), download the app, then screw in the bulb and follow the in-app instructions. All in all, it took me about 5 minutes to start, then about 30 seconds each bulb.
Q: Can you choose what color they light up? Are they always color or can they be white too?
A: they can be any color you want including white. when you use your phone, you’ll be able to precisely pick and choose what color and temperature you want the lights to be.
Q: Can the lightbulbs be used outside in a driveway lamp?
A: The bulbs say “for indoor use only” but there are countless user testimonies online that say they use/utilize bulbs outside to great success... does this mean it will work for you? Maybe. Will it void the warranty? Probably. If you’re really worried about the light... they do make a couple outdoor options maybe look at those.
Q: Is this the A-19 Starter kit and does it include the hub?
A: This is one of a couple A19 starter kits. This particular model comes with a programable switch, 3 bulbs, and the hub/bridge to run up to 50 lights. There is another option sans switch and 4 bulbs and a third with 4 white bulbs. Just depends on what your looking for.
Q: What’s the difference between this kit and the a19 starter kit?
A: Being that there are multiple a19 starter kits I'd say the most likely difference is that the others are either 1 bulb and a switch (this is usually for the white or white ambiance), or 2 bulbs and a hub (white or white ambiance) or 4 bulbs and a hub (white, white ambiance or color). However, this kit includes 3 color bulbs, a hub AND a switch. It's a pretty great combination of most of the accessories you'd need to truly be a "starter" kit.
A: A bridge is needed period, even running one bulb, to have it work as advertised otherwise it just turns on to full and off. One bridge controls up to 50 bulbs as stated in ad. One switch will control all lights set to that switch's group, which is set in app, up to 10 lights. If you have 10 bulbs in one "group" or "entertainment area" the switch will control them all.
