    I got this product and was super excited about it. However I live in the middle of nowhere and have limited internet, product does not work well. I asked in store the type of internet connection required and told wireless would work. That is not the case. The hub must be plugged in with Ethernet cord and makes my hotspot not work for anything else. Would only recommend if you have internet with router and unlimited.

    I bought two of these sets . These are working fine but each hub can hold only 4 lights..so need to maintain multiple hubs if we want to have more bulbs

    Love the product, but had issue with bridge breaking. Super not user friendly to fix after that either.

    Very neat you can change all the colors! VERY Annoying when I can’t turn the lights on with the switch because my husband turned them off with the app. Ended up returning them. Not even remotely worth the money.

    Exceedingly POOR Customer Service

    WARNING to those considering #Philips Hue lighting: After purchasing and installing, the bulbs began flashing and would not work. Tech support recommended replacing the dimmer with a regular switch, which I did. Still did not work. So, after many hours and lost $, Philips now says that I should have not installed the bulbs and bridge with a dimmer that damaged the bulbs and voided the warranty. This is really POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, as this should never have happened. A large print warning about use with non-Hue dimmers, and letting me know immediately without spending extra time and money after reaching out to support was the least they should have done. STAY AWAY FROM PHILIPS HUE LIGHTING!

    I love the lights but the “smart” part of them is lame. I have to repeat my command two or three times before it takes. Also My lights turn off and on at random times. Just a waste of money in my opinion

    i did not care for these lights. I thought it would be a lot simpler to work with but i guess i'm not very technically inclined. if you are into these type of lights then it could be for you. But for me it didnt work out the way i imagined. A lot of the apps to use these with cost even more money. Should be included as the kit is very expensive. Just another way to take our money.

    Very easy to set up. Lights when using them in normal mode are very dim due to their low wattage. Not worth the money in my opinion.
