A:AnswerYou need the Philips Hue bridge - typically you start out with a 'kit' that will come with a couple of bulbs and a bridge. Any android or iPhone will work to communicate (via the bridge) to the bulbs. The software is free.
A:AnswerI am using the BR30 Hue bulbs outside in cans and have for about three months without incident. They are under the porch, terrace and patio so are protected from moisture but are subjected to cold temperatures. So far so good. Wonder about the heat this summer though.
A:AnswerThey are the same. The reason Philips describes the bulbs as white + multicolor is because when they display white, you have the option to display a broad range of temperature colors. Some advertisements just call them multicolor. They do have a white only bulb also.
