Customer Ratings & Reviews

This hue starter set with the multi color bulbs is a great way to start automating your Home lighting. It’s simple to install, Note: you need to have a WiFi router for the HUB to connect to. The platform works with multiple devices including Apple, android, Alexa and google Home. The broad range of functionality is limited virtually to your imagination. The colors are brilliant.

Before purchasing this item, I had bought the google home and thought I would like to home automate other parts of my home. The guys were great with showing me several products and I had finally chose the Phillips Hue "starter" kit. It came with a hub and 4 smart lights. The setup was easy and integrated with the google home within minutes ( I do not know about Alexa or Apple integration). The instructions for setup were a little lackluster but did not impair the setup to prevent it from being effective and quick. It was as simple as downloading the Hue app, removing the old light bulbs, putting the Hue bulbs in and clicking on the hub. Having it connect through google home appeared seamless and easy. The longest part for me was deciding what to name each light. The one challenge I did have was creating “voice shortcuts” in google home to work with the Hue system but that is not Phillip’s Hue fault. I would have like to see a little more instruction/detail of what types of color names that the hue system bulbs could be set at so I would not have to research all the varieties of color. However, that was not enough to change my rating from an excellent product and I would buy it again.

Lights, Colours, Action action action..... thata all you’ll get with these lights.... action.... After I had a $3300 Phillips Ambilight Tv explode on me in 2007 I vowed never to by a light from them again..... i also divirced my wife because I blamed her for the TV blowing up... anyways the Hue lights are hot and hot attracts hot... many mood settings, great investment, Apple Home compatible

Fun and convenient with easy set up. Hue bridge requires a wires connection, which isn't a big deal but I didn't know that going in. Works well with Google Home and the IfTTT app for easy voice control. Enable location and lights will turn on/off automatically when you come home or leave. The sunrise feature is a nice way to wake up. Having a strong network is highly recommended.

Love this product. It's a bit pricey but worth it. This is a great way to add a nice feel to the living room space. Perfect for "Netflix and Chill".

Bright, colorful, and so many custom options just from downloading different apps. I will be getting more in the future!! I actually put this in for my can lights. Not the flood bulbs like you’re supposed to, but it works and these have more lumens anyway...and it’s cheaper. Definitely worth the money. Photo is just with the lights in plain white and the light strip behind the tv

Easy to set up and schedule. Made the purchase before a family vacation and set a lighting schedule to simulate that someone was home. Worked like a charm.... The colors and controls are amazing. I purchased additional color bulbs, outdoor floodlights (white) and a discover color changing floodlight. Highly recommend, worth the money!

1. The required bridge seems like overkill and the sooner they connect to Google and Amazon directly, the better 2. If you're using Echo or Google home you'll have redundant apps with differing and inconsistent functionality from the Hue app 3. You'll spend an hour or two upgrading the firmware on individual bulbs which is silly and annoying... 4. One of my bulbs gets out of sync with the others from time to time and will occasionally be the odd one out in a color scheme 5. Like some other "dimmable" led bulbs they might be incompatible with some older dimmer switches. That's the bad stuff but I got a reasonable discount and they really can change the appearance of a room as well as the benefits of voice activation and remote control. Here's a simple "warm" setting in the kitchen. The Hues are in the lightshades.

These lights are so nice. So many colors for mood or decor. WiFi works well. Can use Siri to talk and change lighting. If you want to control them when a way you must be logged in on line. Would give 5 stars if wasn’t for price.

I’ve been wanting these lights since I saw them several years ago and they have not disappointed. I was able to connect to these lights with Siri, through automation apps like IFTTT and a ton of available third-party apps that let you sync lights to music, weather, location, the possibilities are endless! I’m now looking into more hue lights and other smart home devices to integrate with them.

Bought for my business it really makes up for the lack of decoration. I use the Thor light app to change colors but they will stall animating after a while. Apps could be better

This is a really cool product. Easy to set up with your wifi. Plug the Bridge into your router. Download the app and your ready to go. Infinite colors. Bright or dim. Buy the remote control. Even better!

The lights are awesome. Have all four in a light bar over my island. Can have Alexa change them to any color to suit your mood. Easy setup and easy to use.

Besides the price, these bulbs are awesome. They are very simple to set up and I love being able to control them from my mobile or smart device.

Great product that helped me enhance my entertainment room. I also added a light strip behind our media cabinet. The lights can be controlled via mobile device and I also setup with Alexa to voice command different scenes.

I highly recommend these lights for anybody who wants to set up a mood to their room, meaning if you're watching a movie you might want to do the dark red color , or if you're just hanging out talking to your spouse or whatever you might want to just put like a light blue. I really love these lights. I'm glad I made the purchase.

I have been considering some form of 'smart' lighting for a while. Phillips Hue is the top tier, but I spent time investigating cheaper alternatives before deciding to take the plunge - all in with the Hue. It has been well worth it! It took a bit to figure out the bulb naming schemes, but once I had the Bridge installed and the bulbs named, connection with my Google Home was a breeze, and now the lights are integrated with my daily routines. Wowing friends with fun colors is always a plus. Middle of the night bathroom visits no longer involve getting blinded. I wake up more naturally with the "sunrise" routine - versus a jarring alarm. I've barely scratched the surface as to all the things these lights can do, and am looking forward to seeing what else they have in store. I am sold, and I highly recommend them!

It’s pretty rad to walk into your theater room and say “Hey Siri, turn the Animus on” and then let there be light! Animus is the name I gave my theater room so the voice commands are pretty neat and the name of your lights are customizable. I was concerned that if I wasn’t home someone may have trouble figuring out the lights. That concern was put to rest when I flipped the light switch off and back on the lights default to a really nice white. This is a really fun toy to have I throughly enjoy it. I’m a big gamer and movie watcher so I can theme the color of my entire room to match my entertainment. Pictures absolutely cannot do this justice. Just FYI in the pic the TV lights are hue but aren’t in this kit but to save time if your tv is 75 inches like mine this took one hue strip and 3 extensions to get the complete wrap around. Love Hue and am very happy with all of my hue purchases.

We saw these lights from friend's house and fell in love on the first sight. Purchased it from best buy right away. This makes big difference to our Living room. You could control various color and pick atmosphere as you like. We're considering to buy more!

So far I love these bulbs. Setup was easy and other people are crazy because the bulbs are bright enough to equate to a standard LED bulb. If they last as long as they claim, definitely worth the cost.
