Easy setup, brilliant color
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Alright, so I'm gonna try to be unbiased, even though the product has impressed me. First, and foremost, buying this starter kit is actually more affordable than buying three more color lights. Consider that when it's time to add lights. Now with regards to the product, it's very user friendly, with an easy setup procedure,but it requires constant wifi. If your WiFi is not stable in certain rooms, then control may be questionable. Beyond the ease of setup, the lights themselves are exceptionally bright in white, but seem to lose lumens when reproducing certain colors, such as teal or violet. I also purchased the LED light strip for my TV and found the colors don't match perfectly with the bulbs. Just something to consider if you're even slightly OCD. Last thing to say: this setup is far more expensive than competing products,but the trade-off is easier warranty service and local replacement availability. Your choice.

Color everywhere
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I adore this setup. The app installation was as easy as screwing in a lightbulb. I synced this with Alexa and now she'll keep the house LIT! You'll never have to enter a dark room again. It works remotely through the app. My only complaint is the price point.

Smart home start
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This kit is a GREAT way to start setting up your smart home. This was my first purchase and I connected it to my google home app in minutes. The only problem I see is the price point on each bulb. Because you really get used to using it.

Hue Lights help you change the way your home feels
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love smart home devices, i am also a software developer. Hue Lights are really cool, expensive but really cool and the newer version are better since colors are a lot more accurate than previous versions. The Philips - Hue Color 3pk Starter Kit with Lightswitch - Multicolor is really nice because it allows you to start using the lights and also control them without using the app. I mostly use different colors and dim levels in the bedroom and they are great for going to sleep. They are expensive but if you have some budget I would say that you should try them out.

Feel the Color
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These lights are a great addition to any smart home. My only warning is that they are a bit expensive and addicting once you start adding color to your home.

Q: QuestionBefore I buy this I was wondering about installation .... I’m good w the technology part using smartphone ect but do I have to wire something or install a switch ect ?
Asked by Shelly.
- A:Answer 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.
Answered by AlRod

Q: QuestionCan the lightbulbs be used outside in a driveway lamp?
Asked by Amy.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionIs this the A-19 Starter kit and does it include the hub?
Asked by Laird.
- A:Answer 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.
Answered by Matt
Q: QuestionWhat’s the difference between this kit and the a19 starter kit?
Asked by King.
- A:Answer 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.
Answered by Steve82
Q: QuestionIs a bridge need if I want more than 3 light bulbs? I am thinking of purchasing about 12 light bulbs? How many bridges are need for this? Also does 1 switch only work for 3 light bulbs? How many switches would I need for 12 light bulbs?
Asked by slim1.
- A:Answer 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.
