No they work just fine in California, The STATE of California is forbidding online companies from shipping them into the state of California . It’s a bunch of red tape... I think the issue is that some meet the standard, some do not. I’m sure that the Philip Hue bulbs do meet those standards as they are of high quality. The issue with California Law is that you must prove you meet those standards. I know that they were available to be shipped to California with no issues until VERY recently. And many people are aggravated over it. I am not 100% sure, but I BELIEVE Philips Has made a new bulb or new “packages” with a different bulb number on them that can or will be legal to ship to CA but it is very hard to find any really clear answer on the internet. I was able to find this info: CALIFORNIA TITLE 20 (2018) Beginning January 1 2018, California state- regulated LED lamps, small diameter directional lamps, (SSDL) and general service lamps, (GSL) manufactured on or after January 1 2018 will be required to comply with the performance, testing and marking requirements of California’s Appliance Efficiency Regulations (Title 20) (*****http://www.energy.ca.gov/appliances*****) CALIFORNIA TITLE 24 The California Energy commission’s Title 24 regulations outline energy efficiency standard for residential and non-residential buildings. To view a list of the Philips lighting residential indoor and odor lighting technologies that meet the Title 24 California’s building Energy efficiency standards visit: (*****http://www.usa.lighting.philips.com/campaign/service-guide*****) Hope this was able to help you in some way.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Lol, no. Because California has emissions regulations and notifications about cancer causing ingredients, they have to design products that adhere to our emissions and environmental standards.
