Not as expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this thinking it would be a bright white dimmable light but, it is much more yellow in tone and it is not a good light for reading. It isn't as bright as expected, and the remote only dims it further. I have to use the app on my phone to get to the maximum whitish light so that I can read. I'm planning to connect it to Alexa and will see if that makes it any easier to control.

Easy and convenient
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as described. Is so convenient. I use the remote control and Amazon's Alexa to control the lights. Very easy install and setup.

Really like this kit
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been looking at the Phillips Hue lights for a while, but then I was waiting for Apple HomeKit support and it got that, but I really didn't want to invest in $60 multi-color bulbs so I never got around to buying into the Hue lights. But then they released this kit with the Ambiance bulbs. These bulbs are perfect for what I wanted. I really wanted bulbs that would cover the "white" color spectrum. What is nice is that you can turn them full up and get the daylight color which includes the blue light that you don't want at night. But then when night rolls around you can turn them over to a softer reddish color that eliminates the blue light which isn't good for when you are ready to go to sleep. We started out putting these in the lamps by bed so at night you can have the nice reddish color that helps with sleep. And turn it down so they just glow and make for a nice night light until you are ready to turn them off. It's also great for the kids. And the lights work so well I've started putting them everywhere in the house. I've found that they just work. And now instead of walking to the bedroom in the dark I can leave all the lights on and when I get to bed I just turn all the lights off at once from the app. The wall switch works great as well. Very well designed. It basically only controls one "scene" but it lets you cycle through multiple brightness settings that you have configured for those bulbs. And the nice feature about it is that while it has a wall plate and you can easily mount it by the door or wherever, the actual switch is magnetic and sticks to the plate so you can just grab it on the way to bed and put it on your nightstand to control the lights at night, for instance.. I've just not had any issues with the setup and it just plain works. I've been using them for a month or so now I guess and I couldn't be happier with all my bulbs... I plan to replace all the lights in the house with them. Oh, and give them a try with Amazon Alexa. It's so nice to just be able to tell Alexa to turn a light on when I don't have my phone handy. Alexa actually works a bit better than it does from Siri. Alexa just says OK when you tell her to turn a light on. Siri gets a bit chatty.

Hue Review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these. Have the Living room and master bedroom set up all hooked up to voice commands through Alexa. Also use the sunrise feature for waking in the morning. Worth the price. Went with the White ambiance vs. color. The color felt a little gimmicky to me.

Good product (ish)
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like it, really easy to set up,. Will freeze out from time to time but works well with alexa. Only gripe is value, needs to be more affordable to really go main stream where one can replace all bulbs. Then it will really make sense. Would recommend.

Great lights and easy setup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were looking at both the Ikea smart lights and Philips hue lights. Because of reviews we read we went with the Hue lights and haven't been disappointed. They were easy to setup and work with our Google home great. Would recommend them to anyone.

Really like the HUE
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We set it up to turn on slowly in the mornings so its not so pitch black, we like the different ambiance depending on what we are doing and the convenience of pairing it with SIRI for voice commands. Very happy and will be adding more shortly.

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between Philips - hue LED Starter Kit - White - $129.99, and Philips - Hue White Ambiance Starter Kit - White- $69.99 (besides the $60.00). is it just the remote that comes in the $129.99 kit? Are the bulbs different?
Asked by Tony.
- A:Answer The ambiance kit can change the light from warm to cool white tones of light. The other kit that's a lower price can only dim the lights. I have both sets. The light that just dims are my hallway and stair lighting and the other lights that gives me more options in lights are in my living,kitchen and bedrooms.

Q: QuestionIt says on the box, that it works with Apple Home Kit. Does that mean that the Apple Home Kit is required? or do I need something else like the Apple Home Kit to make it work?
Asked by Alice.
- A:Answer No you don't have to use Apple HomeKit. All you need is something you can run the Hue app on to setup the bridge (Apple or Android device). Once the bridge is setup you can use the wall switch to control the lights or the app on your phone. If you setup HomeKit then you can tell Siri to turn lights on and off. But I find it just as easy to use the app. You can also put buttons in the notification window on the phone so you can turn lights on and off quickly and easily. If you want voice control over the lights give Amazon Alexa a try. To me Alexa works better than Siri does right now anyway.

Q: QuestionIs the dimmer switch wireless or does it need to be hard wired?
Asked by Megaglue.
- A:Answer If you are referring to the on/off/dimmer switch that comes with the kit, no it is not hard wired. It is remote only. The plastic base can be screwed to the wall, the square switch has a magnetic backing and stick to the base plate, but can be removed and held like a TV remote. I leave mine on the dresser next to the bed and can turn the lights out in other parts of the house from bed.
