QuestionDo I need WiFi or a internet connection to use this product or can I just use Bluetooth from my phone
Asked 6 years ago by Bobby123.
- Answer It is not Bluetooth. You will need WiFi to use the app on your smart phone. With WiFi and internet you will be able to control the lights from anywhere in the world that you have WiFi internet access, which would not be possible with Bluetooth alone. If you are going to get home late and it's already dark you can use your phone to turn the lights on before you even get close to home. Data rates may apply with whatever phone plan you have. I currently have 21 Hue color bulbs and I will be adding more soon. Not necessarily an inexpensive proposition, but the Philips Hue products integrate with the Google Home products for immense flexibility.

QuestionI can't seem to figure out if these will go in my ceiling. I pulled out the current bulb, it's 320 lumens, 45w, 130v, flood. Anyone know if these are compatible? Thanks in advance!
Asked 6 years ago by Confused22.
- Answer If your existing bulbs are the standard A19 screw-in base then the Philips Hue bulbs should work fine. The Philips Hue A19 bulbs simply screw into existing A19 bases. The Philips Hue bridge communicates with the bulbs wirelessly so no wiring necessary except plug the Philips Hue bridge into your WiFi router and configure according to the instructions.

QuestionLights will no longer turn on and off if I use my home light switches. Any clue why?
Asked 6 years ago by Happyblusky.
- Answer Thanks for your responses. I contacted Phillips Hue before I purchased and they said I could use the regular light switches if needed to turn the bulbs on and off. For example, if the internet goes down, if a smart device is not working or available nearby, if I lose my voice and do not want to pull up an app, if I forget the keywords, if my family wants to turn the lights on and off when they visit (they are not smart friendly), etc. This worked perfectly for a week, but then stopped working. I finally got a good answer from their Customer Service today. There are no special settings required for this functionality. For example, having to leave the lights on in the app. There will be a push to the app in about a month that will fix the issue, which apparently started with their recent app update.

QuestionWill the bulbs work in ceiling fans, specifically max bulb wattage 6.5. Planning on using a converter switching the candelabra base to the Phillips base. Candelabra Screw to Medium Screw Light Bulb Base Socket Reducer Adapter Converter E12 to E26/27
Asked 6 years ago by jlmm1.
- Answer Since you specified 6.5 watts I would say no. These A19 bulbs are 10 watts at 800 lumens - full brightness. I believe that there are other Hue bulbs that will fit the base you desire without adapters, and possibly within the power limit you specified.

QuestionAre these bulbs energy efficient like the regular LED bulbs?
Asked 7 years ago by Terry.
- Answer The Hue White A19 LEDs are Energy Saver certified. To my knowledge, based on product specs and descriptions, the ambiance series (white and color) are not, unfortunately. I have the color and white ambience bulbs, however, and have not noticed a spike in my energy consumption.
