“How bright is this bulb? I want to replace a 100 watt bulb and even though it says 800 lumen, I hear real tests are far lower. I ask because I have the gen 3 hue color bulbs and these things are pathetic at putting out light.”

This bulb is comparable to the gen3 hue color when it comes to "white" output. They aren't significantly brighter than a gen3 hue color set to white mode. That being said, I would say the output is somewhere near that of a 60 watt light at least.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a normal Philips led bulb that says 800 lumens. I have this supposed 800 lumen Philips hue bulb. The hue color changing bulb is nowhere near as bright. These 2 bulbs even look exactly the same.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have 4 of these A19 and 8 of the larger white ones. They are comparable to what i call the daylight bulbs I get to produce a much better bright white. I also have the colored bulb and I do agree the bright white on the $49 a19 color bulbs is not as "white" as the cheaper bulbs. I really like the fact I can set the scenes and adjust from say daylight to the soft white.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I replaced a regular 60 watt bulb with these and the light on high is about the same.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Anonymous ~ I get it that you thought it was going to be a bright bulb. I think the answer is on the package itself. You purchased 3 HUE color bulbs. By definition Hue is a color or or SHADE. Applying that it reads 3 SHADE color bulbs. The sun isn't bright in the shade. Another clue is Ambience ;it is one that sets a mood, gives an impression, or look. Not bright. ~ They are doing what they are designed to do. You just picked up the wrong bulb for your job. They have others. Check packaging
