Philips - Hue White & Color Ambiance A19 Bluetooth Smart LED Bulb (2-Pack) - Multicolor

My son got me a starter kit for Christmas, I was going to return it, but decided to set it up. The lights are awesome. Love being able to control the lights with my phone. Have been buying these 2-pack of lights about once a month (they aren't cheap) and replacing my old light bulbs around the house. I did try some of the white only bulbs (much cheaper) but they are a soft white (yellow tint) and the rest of the "old" bulbs that I have are bright white (no yellow tint) so it looked weird, so I took them back and got these instead. They can be bright white, soft white and every other white there is, as well every color in the spectrum.

As I can afford to replace my bulbs I have been replacing all with Phillips Hue! I only have one problem when you buy the sets they never seem to come in even numbers then when you buy that extra bulb it doesn’t exactly sync with the others! Otherwise awesome product!

I was a little hesitant to spend so much. But I love them. It’s convenient having endless color combinations and the option to have regular white light. I have two in my bathroom and living room and it’s also great for controlling lights from my phone. No more tripping over my cat or walking into things if it is dark when I get home.

I've had 3 philips Hue bulbs since 2015. I have not paid attention to "new" bulbs and related tech behind them because mine have worked great and they haven't had to be replaced. Recently my 4-year-old and some neighborhood friends were over and I played some music and used the hue disco app on my phone to make the lights sync with music. They loved it and wanted to have more "dance party's" so I thought I'd add a few more bulbs to new lamp I added to the basement recently. To my surprise, the tech has come a long way since 2015. I never realized I could not get a rich "green" color with my old bulbs. I found myself cycling through the color wheel amazed at how vibrant and bright these bulbs are. My original bulbs model is LCT007 and the new ones I got are LCA002 for reference. Pros: Rich vibrant color Long lasting bulbs (assuming they meet or exceed previous model) Cons: Expensive Overall I highly recommend these bulbs. The HUE app is easy to use and easy to pair new bulbs to the bridge. My only complaints are more with software than the hardware. For example the Philips Hue Sync software is supposed to sync music and videos to your lights. It does and works, but unlike the Philips Hue DIsco app, the transitions in color and not smooth. It's very choppy and can be hard on the eyes. However that is obviously software, not hardware. It syncs with Alexa for convenience too.

This is my second pack of the bulbs. The first pack I bought with the hub. I love them! I love how I can set their colors on the app, set up a room on the app where it knows which bulb is which, and you can make the colors VERY bright - almost fluorescent! However you have to be on wifi to use the app, and I am normally on my cell service so I have to always switch it to wifi. Also when you unplug the lamp that the bulbs are in, or shut it off, the colors go back to being white. So I have to go back to the app, turn on wifi, and change the colors of the bulbs. If you always use the same colors, it shows circles of the last few colors you used, so you can just click on them to assign to the bulbs instead of finding the exact shade you want on the big color wheel every time. The bulbs are a sturdy & solid build. I haven't had any issues with any dying or breaking, and they seem like they will last forever...*knock on wood*! They better though, because they are expensive lol! Good thing I had a coupon & best buy rewards! In my attached pic, I have them set as fluorescent pink, green, and blue. The room is also getting illuminated by a huge blue LED light strip all along the edges of the room on the floor. The colors go awesome together. :)

Great lighting different colors. I love it and my girlfriends love it i choose a different color for each on

Love having these lights. I like being able to have white lights or change them to colored to match my mood! The only complaint I have is that they are pricey!

I had to try these multicolor bulbs since I like electronics and am working on whole home automation. I really thought I would try one and be done with it. I guess the guy at Best Buy was right, they are addictive. I have now purchased 3 more multicolor bulbs and a hub. I have them set up for a bedroom and in my office. I really enjoy the ability to select from pre-programmed settings as well as build my own custom one (I found a blue that is very soothing).
