    I love these lights. They set the scene/mood perfectly. I love the customization. You can even program some of the presets to Apple Watch. I use them almost everyday especially to dim to a certain color after work. Spending more time at home (thanks covid (sarcasm)) let’s me get more for my money. I need a few more bulbs. They are pricey though, so I will wait.

    If you are going to have the Philips Hue in your home then you absolutely have to have this kit to make it both easier and have complete control over all their profiles they have in their settings.

    The best of the best... for a price

    Grabbed these after getting tired of fumbling with less expensive alternatives breaking, going out or not having the ability to reach color accuracy or brightness. Finally went for it, got the whole kit and couldn't be happier. Works great with our Google Home devices as well as my iPhone via HomeKit. Biggest issue; the price, and the difficulty to find these lately. It seems most stores are sold out of these devices, so expanding will be difficult.

    An excellent product, so much so that I am now replacing all of my Hue devices after a fire destroyed them. They work as advertised and the ability to dim and reproduce the colors is incredible not to mention the ability to be controlled by accessories such as remotes, personal devices, and applications. Highly recommend them, especially when purchased on sale like I did.

    I installed these lights in my basement and they changed the whole vibe! These lights upgraded our bar area and our entertainment space dramatically. We hooked it up to Alexa, where we can easily adjust the colors and have the lights interact with the music. Our friends call our basement “the club” now.

    This kit is super awesome for anyone wanting to get started with designing some amazing lighting in their living space. The switch is very necessary because you can put it in the most convenient location and program it to control particular lights (or all of them) via the app. They connect seamlessly with Apple Homekit which is a plus... I can ask Siri to do anything!

    Easy to set up and control with the hue app. Lighting effects created a warm atmosphere for Christmas and other holiday seasons and gives the impression that I have put new colors on the wall when I want a change.

    Have been looking at getting Philips Hue for sometime. Found a great deal at Best Buy for this starter kit. Hue hub + color changing bulbs. Easy fast delivery to my home. Hue was easy to set up. Firmware update took while, but just left it while I made a cup of tea. Now I'm enjoying linking to Smartthings and Google and setting lighting scenes.

    Pretty cool addition to the smart home implementation. I believe the Philips bulbs are more expensive, than some others out there, however the reviews I've read indicated that this was a better product. Setting routines and creating scenes is pretty cool, and I've purchased more bulbs for additional rooms throughout the house.

    I've used Hue lights for over 5 years. I've added to the collection over time and now have several rooms illuminated. They are pricey, but worth every penny. I look forward to purchasing more soon.

    This is a great product, but a little expensive. We love the color-changing aspect, but not sure it is worth the extra cost compared to the regular Philips smart bulbs.

    Been wanting to make my home a smart home. These lights make any event I've had fun. The different colors are awesome. When I'm watching movies, it feels like I'm in a theater. Plus, I can program the lights to turn on and off automatically when I leave or return home. A great way to save energy and liven up the house!

    I bought this as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend and her room and she absolutely loves it, setup doesnt take too long but requires a spare ethernet port on your router. Aside from that only drawback its very easy and fun to use with the wireless remote its very convenient and once connected to our google home mini its even better and easier to use.

    Love Philips Hue

    I’ve been waiting to add more bulbs to my Philips Hue ecosystem; I previously had six bulbs and a Hue Go in my townhouse. I had previously purchased a three build starter kit back in 2016, then added three more single bulbs when they were priced under $30 at Best Buy on Black Friday 2017. I was hoping for a repeat of this sale in 2018, but no dice. Well this Holiday Season, Best Buy Member Pricing had this set, which includes three color bulbs, a dimmer switch, and a Hue hub for $99.99. Though I didn’t need a second hub, this price for three bulbs and a dimmer switch was a no brainer. I was mostly interested in the bulbs and thought the dimmer switch was a no brainer, but I have to say the dimmer switch is super useful. I have it installed in my master bedroom (it comes with adhesive, so no drilling was necessary). Previously I would have issues with my wife turning off the wall switch that controlled the outlet my two bulbs were plugged in to, so I couldn’t control them with the Hue app. Don’t have that problem anymore. And while my wife would be loathe to admit it, the dimmer switch (which is removable from the wall plate) has been super useful. I should have bought a second set while it was priced at $99.99!!!
