Philips - Hue A19 Bluetooth 60W LED Smart Bulbs (3-Pack) - White and Color Ambiance

Only way to go for a truly epic smart-home lighting experience! While it may be at a higher price point than other brands, I have had the Hue system since their first generation. With the added Hue Bridge, (Which I HIGHLY recommend getting/using opposed to Bluetooth. Especially if you plan on having more than one Hue device or light to control), it opens up an entire world of possibilities. Can be controlled from anywhere, even if away from home, preset and custom automations like adaptive lighting and “Vacation Mode” to randomly simulate someone being home, and countless other options to use. HUE is one of the few brands that has and continues to sync with iOS/APPLE HOMEKIT, as well as your other smart home operating systems. User interface is easy, accessible, and a pleasure using. Too many features to list in a simple review, but all-in-all, this is a great purchase whether you’re starting or adding on to what you already have. If you’re on the hunt for a smart home lighting system that’s high-quality, reliable, and will deliver what you truly want, Hue is hands down the way to go! A little pricey, but worth every penny. I feel it’s also worth noting that only recently I had my first Hue bulb go out on me. It was a first generation, and lasted 13 years. With the added features and accessories Hue is bringing to the table, (including the sync box), is truly changing the game on smart lighting.

Excellent product. Very easy to set up and use. We have ours connected with other hue lights in the house and love them. Easy to use app with lots of color customization options. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to add some color to your life!

I currently have 5 of these bulbs and I like them. The rest of my lights are the strips. I do like that I can change the colors with my voice, through Google. I bought my first bulbs about 3 years ago and they all still work fine and I use them every single night. "Okay Google turn on living room lights!" They can even be combined with sensors so they will automatically come on when you walk into a room and you can set a time for them to turn off if there is no movement. All in all, I am very pleased with the versatility of these lights. The lights themselves are just bulbs that can turn on and off and change colors. However, the real power are the various things you can do with timers and sensors. I also have mine set up to turn blue when it starts raining. My living room lights turn red when i ask Google to turn on Netflix. My bedroom lights come on gradually as part of my morning alarm. My porch light and foyer come on when the front door is opened. So, if you're a smart home kind of person, these lights are fantastic! I've bought other brands of lights and one of the reasons why I am willing to pay the premium price for the Phillips Hue brand is because not all LED's are created equal. I purchased other NON-LEADING BRANDS and they literally change the color of your environment. I'm not talking about the color from the color of the light bulb, I'm referring to the odd color it makes everything in the room. These lights allow the true color of what is to remain, unless you choose a different color. It's difficult to explain, but if you've experienced this, then you know what I'm referring to.
