Awesome Lights and a lot of Fun

I got these lights because i thought it'd be fun in my daughters room to create some fun play ambiance and to help dim lights during night time.
The setup was easy overall but make sure that you do plug the bridge into the router itself, not a satellite (like on a mesh wifi system) or a switch/hub. I had issues with some of the lights not being recognized until I switched the bridge from my Orbi satellite to into the router itself. Once I did that everything has been flawless.
I have been able to use Apple HomeKit and can tell Siri to turn lights off but haven't played around with scenes or anything yet. It's been fun to have my daughter try to tell Siri to turn the lights blue or turn them on. They've been fun to play with in her room but even better to use during bed time to start dimming the lights and wind her down during story time or even have one light on as a night light.
I can see why people say these are addictive!

I was looking for something to use to turn the lights on and off by voice command. After reading several reviews on many different products, this is by far the best choice. It works as described and works great with my Amazon Alexa (Echo) device. I haven’t figured out how to tell Alexa to change the colors, but I’m working on it. I especially like the ability to change to red and green for Christmas and all the many colors available! Great product!

Finally purchased this and really glad I did. Perfect when you cannot re-wire. Was very easy to install. So much fun having different colors for different moods. Will need a third party app (I am using ThorLight) for better options for scenes. My only complaint is that I have an iPhone and my spouse has an Samsung cell phone - works great on iPhone with SIRI; however, doesn't work near as well on the Andriod.

So I did my research before purchasing and I’m very pleased with the lights. I would say only downfall in upgrading all my lights is gonna be pricey. I know in the long run it’s but pay off with my bill and not having to replace bulbs so often. Love the ability to work the lights where ever I’m at. Even to tell Siri turn on porch light and it turns on! Technology is awesome!!

After extensive research I chose to buy these bulbs, and I am beyond happy. The lighting choices for daily use are amazing, and the basically infinite color spectrum makes them that much better. Setup was a breeze and everything works seamlessly. Not only will I be recommending these lights to everyone I know, but I WILL be buying more for the rest of my house!

These Phillips Hue bulbs have much better greens, cyans and blues than other competitive brands, leading to much better lighting & perfect ambiance scenes to fit any occasion. I use them with my Echo Dot for voice-controlled lighting, and IFTTT and my SmartThings hub for automating lights based on time of the day and a bunch of other events. Simply awesome!

These bulbs are awesome, I link them up to my Google Home products and use them throughout my home. I like being able to control the colors and everything else on them, the Hue app is pretty good and you can get additional apps to make the bulbs change color when you get a notification on your phone. They are easy to use and set up, my only complaint is that they are 800 lumens, the LIfx bulbs are 1100 ($10 more). In large areas with only one bulb these were not enough to fill up even a small room to my liking. Everything else is great though, would really recommend unless you need the extra lumens.

The color hue lights are awesome. I love being able to change them to orange and dim to 25% for movie watching, or turn them green when I'm watching my favorite football team with the same uniform color. I like being able turn them on, off, up and down with Alexa. I'll be filling my whole house with a combo of color and white hue lights.

got them on doorbuster sale, cannot be more happy with my purchase. I love how I can set these for different moods in my bedroom, and the thing where I can program them to turn on and off at different schedules with the hue app is awesome. Hope these would be more cheaper at a regular price so I could get more for the rest of the house.

LOVE THEM! Super easy to set up/install, even easier to use and run it through the Hue app and your HomeKit. Colors are beautiful. It’s a blast playing with the light schemes and pretty awesome to control by voice. Makes me feel like a kid again playing with something I didn’t think possible....lol! Great lights and greater fun!

This is the third set of Hue lights I have purchased and I absolutely love all the things I can do with lighting. Being able to control my lights from not only my phone (at home & away) but through my Echo is awesome. Great product and I highly recommend. Easy set up and installation!

Wanted to get 4 multi color bulbs to be able to make the family/TV change colors
Great effects
No a million colors but everything that I wanted
Make sure you take the number of the bulb before you put them in the socket
Much easier to load them into Echo
Save yourself some time

These are even more amazing than my husband and I thought. Not only can you control it from your phone, but also thru google or amazon AI. It has amazing colors and they will change color when pictures from your phone! Already have to buy an another set.

This is an amazing product that has helped me step up the look of my "Man Cave" basement. I've also connected it to Alexa and my space is now like the Jetsons where I can walk in, say "Lights On" and it happens. I can also turn the colors of the lights to so many shades it matches whatever team I'm watching on TV. The set up is easy, and I'd recommend this to anyone. I'll be buying more to finish the rest of my basement in these lights. The only thing I wish is that it came in a package without the extra bridge.

These are great lights!! I just wish they were not so expensive. Purchased them during Black Friday and Cyber Monday so that saved me a bit of money. I have plans to do the entire house and get other compatible products.

Too expensive for what it is. It has good color choice but it was not bright enough for my taste; even for Day Light, Soft white, and white options. You need a hub to make control the bulbs. I might be wrong, but i don't think it has WiFi option either. I had to have mine plugged to the internet all the time.

I purchased this kit on black Friday, and the best purchase ever. I love that I can change the color of my entire room, or just turn on the lights when I am out of town. They are easy to set up, and work great.
