Customers enjoy the Hue White A19 LED Starter Kit's ease of use, brightness control, and compatibility with smart home systems like Apple HomeKit and Alexa. Many appreciate the simple setup and the ability to automate lighting schedules. However, some customers find the price to be a significant drawback, and a few have experienced issues with the app's functionality and the range of the bridge. The overall experience is positive for most users, but potential buyers should consider these minor drawbacks.

    I love having these lights in our home. It was easy to setup and link with our Alexa device. The only issues I have had involve the Hue app itself. I often have trouble connecting to it to control the lights. Of course, I can still control them using the Alexa app or just telling Alexa what we want to do with them, whether it's on, off, dim, or whatever percentage we want the lighting at and it works. My son likes it because he sometimes is afraid of going to a room where the light is off so he just asks Alexa to turn the light on and problem solved. I definitely enjoy the convenience of being able to turn off the lights while I'm away for those times I forget to turn them off before leaving.

    So happy with this purchase. I am able to come in the house with hands full and just ask google to turn on the lights. Works perfectly every time.

    Had a few set-up issue out of the box where one light would not connect to the base, but after tickering a bit got everything working correctly. Without running into issues, set-up should be pretty straightforward and have had no issues since. You'll realize how nice of a convenience these are once you get them running!

    Easy set up with my smart phone: software for bridge and bulbs got updated after connected to the Internet, and so far they are fun to control. Now, it remains to be seen how long they will last.

    Overall, adding this into the house's smart technology was fairly easy. Although I used the Philips app, I was then able to merge it into the rest of the infrastructure easily enough. Lights look fine (nothing flashy about the standard lightbulb style). Voice command is convenient, though as with all smart systems the naming conventions are fairly important. I will definitely add more lights to the system in the future.

    Super simple to install and easy to use, though the app has some trouble working on my old phone (Galaxy S4) but I'm optimistic that will be resolved when I get a newer android device next week.

    Works great with my Alexa system. Have these in 4 of our lamps and they are all responsive to voice commands. Great in our BR as we have no overhead light on the ceiling. Have wondered for year about not having to always have a lame near the switched outlet. This completely solved the problem. Don't have to argue about who will get out of bed to turn off the lights or turn it on in the morning. We just talk to our friend Alexa!

    I love this thing! I talk as I pass into a room an the light all the way across the room fired up! Same for turning it off. No more stumbling around in the dark during the dark winter months.

    The Phillips Hue lights are very cool. That being said I wouldn’t put them everywhere in my home. If you want to be able to use the app to turn the lights on or off you must always have the light switched on. If someone shuts the switch off, these go from smart bulbs to dumb ones. That’s really my only gripe

    So far, I like the Hue Bridge and Hue LED bulbs. Setup was a breeze, and I approve of the Hue app, as well. Although I have only had this product for a few weeks, I am already getting used to the automated lightbulbs and how my iPhone (and some Hue Tap switches) can be used as a tool to manage the power on/off and intensity of the light.

    These work very well with both google home and Philips software. nice feeling to be able to turn the lights on before you go into the house, or turn them on when you wake in the morning.
