    The bulbs work as expected and setup with the bridge works out the box. It is a little inconvenient not having a remote/switch for the lights. Amazon echo integration is terrible. My Logitech remote worked great for turning the lights on/off but I purchased the bus dimmer switch to make life a little easier.

    I had tried a couple of Lifx bulbs, and when they worked, they were nice, but trying to keep them connected to my network drove me crazy. I retired those bulbs for use as (very expensive) standard bulbs and tried a starter pack of third generation Hue bulbs. Setup was effortless, adding new bulbs and rooms was effortless and operation through the app or through Google Home voice commands is very straightforward. Hue will be my choice for smart lights through the rest of my house as I gradually move to a total "smart" home. Previous generations of Hue had weak blue-green, but the third generation gives strong, high quality, color throughout the spectrum.

    I love my hue starter kit, I have it connected to my Amazon Echo, so my lights come on whenever I ask. I also have a schedule set up through the Hue app that turns my lights on every evening so I never have to go into a dark house. I set the bedroom light to come on slowly in the morning to wake me.

    The LED color changing lights are awesome....especially with Google Home Voice control. You can control the brightness the color and have them sink with your TV through 3rd party apps.

    The lights were very easy to setup and work with. I used an iDevices app to control the lights the way I wanted them and this worked as designed. I also control the lights with my Amazon Echo.

    Well worth the money. So much brighter than the standard bulb and the color options are great. Well worth getting the bundle when possible that comes with the Google Home.

    Great starter kit for the HUE family giving you everything you need to start, including the HUE Bridge which will then let you use devices like Alexa to control your lights.

    I love these lights. The Hue app works great. It works somewhat with Google Home. Most times Google won't find all the lights to use. The Hue app always finds them and works great.

    So I originally got these because they were on sale and I was looking for one more item to purchase that way I could finance my total purchase. These lights were absolutely one of the best impulse buys I've ever done. I would definitely recommend these lights to anybody, I already have actually haha! I constantly change the colors depending on what I'm doing most the time I leave it on the setting called Arctic Aurora when I'm chilling. Not to mention the life of the lights is phenomenal! I absolutely freaking love these! The only reason I get four stars instead of five is because on the box they advertise that you can sync it with music, and although that is true, It is done through a third-party app which is not very nice on my bell it is done through a third-party app which is not very nice in my opinion. That should already be included in the functionality of the first party app. Overall, a great purchase and will never return these. I will eventually try and install these in every light socket I have!

    There are so many things you can do with these bulbs... the app is very useful and if you have Google Home you can control them using that. A little pricey, but i bought them in a bundle.

    I couldn't be more pleased with these lights. Setup was very easy. I use it with both Google Home and Amazon Echo. I've added a few more lights and look to add the light strip as well.

    Works ok. Has some minor glitches.

    I did quite a bit of research on this product before I spent the $200. I purchased Google Home to start my evil plan of never getting off the couch again, and thought this would be a good push along that path. The package comes with the bridge, which is what connects all the lights together, and 3 standard socket color and white light bulbs. The setup is simple if you have even a basic knowledge of modern technology. Download the Hue app, pair the bulbs to the bridge, name em, choose your light profile, allow Google Home access, your done. The minor glitch I spoke of is, on more than one occasion you ask Google or use the app to turn off the light. It dims to off then immediately comes back on. It may do this 2-8 time but then goes off for good. Sent an email to Phillips about this, still waiting for response. Have bought a few more lights. Waiting for the chandelier lights to come out(can't remember the socket designation). I might not wait and just buy the smart switches. Overall I'm happy with the system.

    These are a nice upgrade over traditional bulbs. Even if you don't use the color options often, being able to dim the lights to custom levels using your phone or tablet is awesome.
