Q: Can I put these bulbs in a completely enclosed lamp?
A: It depends on the fixture. I have mine located in an enclosed ceiling Fan fixture
Q: Is this the new version that can work with Bluetooth (without hub) using a smart device?
A: I had to buy the hub to have all the lights outside and inside work together. I use my smart device to control all the lights
A: I installed four in my Hunter fan and noticed no dimming when the fan is on verses off. (I have two wall switches which control the fan and lights separately.)
A: Smart bulb, works just like its big brothers.
Q: Could i use this in a salt lamp?
A: Not unless you have access to the bulb socket. If you do then, yes. You should note that the wifi signal might not be strong enough to penetrate the salt.
Q: Can this be used in outside coach lights?
A: Although not expressly suggested by Hue, I've used 3 different styles of Hue lights outside for over 3 years now with no issues.
Q: Does this bulb work with Alexa?
A: Yes. Works very well for us. Just need to make sure you setup the Phillips Hue skill in Alexa. Once setup, Alexa seems to find all of the rooms you setup in Hue. Occasionally we ask Alexa to "Discover Devices" and even if she finds none, this at times helps her see updates to existing devices.
Q: Will these bulbs work out of the box with the dimmer switch from the Hue wireless dimming kit?
A: No. You will have to sync the two using the Hue App. However this process takes less than a minute.
