This was my first purchase of a smart bulb and boy does it work great! Like the option of being able to turn it on and off remotely! Planing on expanding my system!

Awesome light bulb. It is linked to my Alexa and we use voice command to turn on and off all the time. No issues with it responding to voice commands. There are several scenes which you can choose from and it will display almost every color imaginable. Based on my experience with this I will be installing the Phillips hue LED light strips in my kitchen which will also be linked to my Alexa.

Easy to connect with an existing hub. wide color and programmable options. fast swap out.

It’s easy to set up and live it connects to HomeKit.

I honestly didn't think I would be able to tell much of a difference in these bulbs over the Gen 1's I have but thought I would give it try and sure glad I did! Only downside is now I want to replace all my Gen 1 bulbs but unfortunately not going to spend that kind of money to go through my whole house! Will do some here and there as I find them on sale! Currently run around 40 Phillips bulbs in my house!

Adding smart home products and bought this for husband for Christmas along with the bridge. Obviously, I have not connected yet, but I am sure it will work fine

My home is almost completely upgraded with these bulbs. I’m glad to have purchased them from Best Buy because they have the geek squad protection plan you’re able to add on. Knowing me, something would probably happen within the time I bought it and I got home, this product overall is fantastic. The light has a range of colors that are bright, and change the mood of your home instantly.

Very bright light with great deep colors. Would definitely buy again although pricey.

These bulbs are easy to use and the colors are great.

Works great ...easy to pair ...fun to use......works awesome with Alexa

Great for any occasion Christmas,Valentines, Halloween set the mood in your home perfect for google home mini download an app and control it from your phone

Philips Hue has long since been the best smart LED bulb on the planet. The 3rd generation Hue bulb is only that much better. It's brighter than the first generation bulb and finally fixes the long standing lack of a clean blue and green color. The 3rd generation can do a full range of colors as well as a huge range of white temperatures. This includes a crisp green and blue just like the light strips.

Easy setup. Lots of color options. Scheduled light plan is a great feature

These are cool to make colors and tune the white color balance. Expensive though.

Very easy to set up. Colors are good. Great variety of colors. We're having fun turning lights on and off with Alexa and Siri and changing colors and brightness. I just wish they had the ability to go brighter.

I love the bulbs themselves and the idea of smart lighting, when they standalone. However, the manner of practical application, in regards to smart home technology by the electronics industry, irks me a little. Mostly I take issue with the fact that us early adopters are essentially subsidizing R&D in a smart home tech race for these companies while simultaneously providing them free marketing for their products when we show them off or talk them up to our friends, family, and neighbors. After much analysis, review, and consideration I think the price is not justified. There must be a non-supply cost related reason for such inflated product prices. I've taken these apart, hub and bulbs; what's inside of them is not expensive and mostly cheap imports. All of this fragmented smart home tech cost a ton of money for little cross-compatibility, few customizations without third-party hard or software solutions, slow (risk-adverse, cost safe) industry development, and no guarantee of support or longevity for these products. We buy these items assuming much risk ourselves and some of these companies act as if we should be forever grateful for the most basic ROI they deliver us. But after the awe factor wears off, the moment you stop caring about impressing people by telling your Echo or Siri to change your living room lights to varying colors, you realize you're getting very little beyond promises and gimmicks in return for the high dollar-tag on much of the offerings within this tech sector. In addition, I find that the 3rd generation Hue Bulbs most obviously offers more colors. By this, I mean blues and greens are finally ACTUALLY blue and green...to the user's eye. Whereas the 2nd gen bulb's "blue" is more akin to purple and looks like a black light at night and the 2nd gen bulb's "green" is an ugly yellow-green color. However, by playing semantics by referring to arbitrary color spectrums not defined by true human sight/perception on the packaging of those bulbs and also by upselling a "more diverse spectrum than previous generation bulbs," I feel like I was slightly duped by Philips into buying those bulbs. I settled on them begrudgingly, knowing there are few worthy alternatives, only to find a few months later my preliminary concerns became a self-fulfilling prophecy in that I had to go buy 20 new bulbs for $49.99 each if I wanted matching colors in my rooms and in general to have the blue & green color options at all. There are no Philips-owned or sponsored programs currently to allow for discounted upgrades for early adopters, trade-ins, or any other pragmatic solutions benefiting both the return consumer and the company in terms of continued loyalty. Again, I understand the economy and how business works. Sony isn't going to just give me a new console every time they upgrade their products, same with Apple or Samsung and it's mobile devices. Albeit, Sony and Apple also have defined releases so consumers can choose which upgrades they participate in and what features they can and cannot live without. This also helps ease the pocketbook burden of buying generational tech that is constantly evolving on an exponential curve every 1-2 years. All in all, the bulbs are nice but companies like Philips can do better on setting their prices more fairly, offering some type of upgrade program or loyalty discounts, and increasing the product's native functionality, native customization options, as well as its industry-compatibility. Do this and you'll make even the most hypercritical buyers much more happy than your current model.

Bulbs are great white or color. Very easy to use with the Hue connector. Lots of fun.

I love these lights and all the great things I can currently do with them! I have 2 sensors so I never touch the light switch in the living room or bedroom. They know when I come in and turn on and know when I leave and turn off. I can tell my google home to change their color or brightness. I can use my Android phone (iPhones also work) to set scenes and the mood in the room. Only negatives are the extremely high cost (which I suppose is normal when on the cutting edge of something new) and the currently limited functions easily available using Google Home. If I want to do something Google doesn't understand I can program it using IFTTT. Fantastic and easy! This is the future and I love it!
