Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ah, the enigmatic world of HUE—where light meets code, and bulbs dance to the binary beat. Allow me to dissect my recent encounter with this luminescent marvel. Brace yourselves, aspiring tech aficionados, for we’re about to dive into the depths of HUE bridge technology. Simply overpriced HUE, I muttered as I unboxed my latest acquisition. The deal was sweet, sprinkled with an extra reward—a digital pat on the back for my purchase. But wait, rewind to a time when I, too, was a fledgling HUE enthusiast. Back then, I naively believed that HUE’s brilliance would illuminate my entire castle. Then, reality struck like a syntax error: the bridge—a critical node in this digital symphony—fell short of orchestrating a complete residence of HUE products. Cue my forehead slap—I should’ve completed my degree pre-requisite: pre-purchase code review. Fast-forward to seasoned users, perched atop their binary thrones. They scoff at my bridge woes, for they know that multi-bridge conundrums are unavoidable like evil deprecated APIs. You see, my friends, growth in the HUEverse demands investment—a capital infusion of both lumens and brainpower. And yes, brace yourselves, for you’ll find yourself yearning for a degree in HUEology (if such a field existed). Support Team Saga: Ah, the support team—the Gandalfs of our digital Middle-earth. Alas, their magic wanes. Frustration mounts as we navigate their labyrinthine ticketing system. But fear not, dear reader, for this tale mirrors that of APPLE’s devotees. We clutch our wallets, torn between reverence and rebellion. The product beckons, whispering sweet nothings about color gradients and smart routines. Resistance futile, we succumb. Wallets open, hearts conflicted—such is the way of the techno-nerd. Verdict: In the grand binary scheme, HUE remains a beacon of brilliance. New users, heed my bytes: embrace the glow, revel in the ambiance. And yes, those 60 W vs 75 W bulbs? They hum in harmony with their LED brethren. A difference? Oh, indeed. I prefer the 75 v 60, but the 60 are still worthy. As for your bank account, well, consider it a digital sacrifice at the altar of illuminations Conclusion: So there you have it, fellow HUEmans. HUE—a symphony of photons, a dance of diodes. May your bridges be stable, your code bug-free, and your pockets ever ready. Good luck, and may your lumens forever shine! (you don’t need code, but you might reach needing a 2nd HUE Acct. - that’s in the works to be fixed) BEST BUY asked me to remove my “emojis” - no fun! I have just “1” emoji for BB. I bet you can figure out which one.

The Hue hub itself was easy to set up with all 3 of my voice assistants. Setting up was so easy in fact that I didn’t get to choose how many bulbs I wanted to use. It just defaulted with 3, even though it could never connect to the 3rd. That’s not really an issue, ‘cause I was able to easily delete it from the Hue app. The uses and setup are quite convenient. I can use the lights with only my voice, and I put a guard over my last switch, so I can’t accidentally shut the power off. Because of this, the dimmer switch has entirely replaced my old light switch. Speaking of the Hue dimmer switch, I feel that it could use more customization. Most apps I pair it to state that it requires a hub in order to work. I do not see then why I can’t set my multiple clicks to custom scenes. I can only pick from the quite unsightly pre-made light recipes. It is only my opinion that they’re unsightly, but it means that, because I do dislike all the default options available, I basically can’t use the multi-click function. Please update it to work with custom scenes, even if it has to be a hardware update I have to buy separately. Many thanks for your consideration!

They’re an excellent way to streamline your life. Some benefits of having the Phillips hue system is that you can connect it to Alexa to control the lights include on/off and color. You can set up routines so that when you leave the lights turn off automatically so that you end up saving a little on the power bill and never have to remember to check all the light switches, another amazing PRO is that the lights can be synced with music, it has an algorithm that synchronizes the changing of the lights with the beat and tune of the music, creating the ultimate ambiance. There are endless color and brightness options you can set it to, and additionally you can set different light scenes to the Phillips hue switch, pressing the button twice to change the scene you have set.

Quality and excellent brightness. I like these spotlights too much, I can fully recommend them, you can decorate your space according to the occasion, the luminosity of these spotlights is very good, since they are from the third generation of Hue. Linking it to the Bridge Hue is very easy from the app of your cell phone or tablet, it's just a matter of going to the settings and looking for the focus.

I have these bulbs all around the house even behind the TV with the sync box. I’m very impressed with them easy set up, great colors and features. My good Freind just bought a house and I figured this would make a great gift for them. I was correct he was excited to try them out ASAP.

I have these lights throughout the house. Love how peaceful it feels with all the colors! They are a bit pricey but work great. Good quality. Can’t wait until they get colored Edison bulbs.

The setup of this kit was super easy, as was pairing it with my Rcho, Google Home, Xfinity, and Harmony. I can control my lights from multiple places and the remote was super easy to program too. I will be looking to add more Hue lights in the future! Dont forget to check out Hue Labs in the app for fun scenes!

Vibrant colors that make your room pop. App is extremely easy to use and set up was fast.

This was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Not only do I have unlimited lighting/color options, you can really do a lot when it comes to operating the lights. You can create a hot-key to turn your lights a specific color at the push of that button. You can have your lighting turn a deep red when you die in a video game, you can let your viewers or audience change the colors for you. It’s an extremely interactive, fun experience. Beyond streaming, lighting can help with your mood. If you want to step away from the colors you your options if “cool” or “warm” white lighting. Switch it to cool, refreshing lights to make you feel more awake or you switch it to warm white lights to create a warm, cozy environment to relax in. The options are endless.

This entire process took a total of 10 min to set everything up and not only connect it to full working order but within that time frame I was also able to easily connect all three lights and dimmer (as a group) to my Alexa/apple HomeKit/and Xfinity home accounts. I realize connecting to all three is overkill but atleast I know what’s up with my smart devices at all times and that’s way better than having to guess wether or not I remembered to turn my lights off!

I got this set and looks great, I bought the 75watts and are brighter. Either one looks great, they are smart, have them paired with my phone and my computer, you can choose different modes and brightness, Can do party, reading mode, active and much more. Really like them. Will buy more.

I had been contemplating upping my Apple Home Kit game for a while and had been researching many products before I went for the Hue line. While it’s not exactly an inexpensive hobby, I love the quality, the options and the relative ease of use. Highly recommend taking baby steps into the future lighting.

These are way more pricey than other lights but you get what you pay for. If you are to using a Google home to set up the voice commands, you need to make sure you set up a hue account on the Philips Hue website to link them up or they won't add. Once you have them set up though oh man will your friends and family jaw drop for how amazing they look. The alarms are amazing and if you have trouble waking up you can have them on full blast in the morning lol.

Hreat for smart home management and for bringing color and tome to your space.

If you pair with the app there are a lot of colorful scenes you can do with this system.

Does everything it says it does, very easy to set up. Definitely a good starter set up. I have an extra hue bridge now though.

Great product. Philips Hue adds an awesome aura anywhere.

I really like that I can create schedules for my lights to turn on at sunset and turn off at sunrise. The system was super simple to set up and configure. The lights look great! Assuming they last 20 years like they claim to, the high cost up front will be well worth it in the long run.

It took me some time to understand and complete the set up of the Hue Bridge. But once that was a figured out, I was actually very pleased with the functions of the product and how it is able to be linked to my iPhone so SIRI can control the lights when I am busy or lazy hahah.

These bulbs work great. You can set any color you want.
