As a theatre person who works with stage lights, this is a fun thing to take into your home. Very easy to install, still figuring them out but wish there were more tips in the instruction booklet.

very pricey but awesome effects. Had to drop to 4 stars because of price, but lights are worthy of 5 stars. Didn't purchase for a long time due to price. But glad I finally did. I will be buying more.

Make sure you add bulbs in a logical order as bulbs are assigned sequential numbers as they are added to the bridge. Only way to redo the numbering is to reset the bridge.
I primarily use different intensities and "shades" of white light so having the ability to use millions of colors is more of a novelty to me. After adding the lights to my Hue Bridge, I then added the different lights to my Amazon Echo. In the Alexa app, I can then group different lights. I love the ability to use the Echo to turn / off and dim groups of and/or individual lights.

The lights are easy to install and easy to use. There are many great apps for them also, including the Phillips main app. I highly recommend these

I purchased this for some colored lighting in our church youth room, but it was not bright enough at all. I ended up going with the LIFX brand with was MUCH brighter and more colorful.

I can choose just the right color of white (or blue or green or whatever) and the geofencing feature is great - I now come home to a lighted house.

Great set but contains old hub

We bought this starter set because it was on clearance. Was disappointed to learn however that the new hub (which came out after this one) allows for Siri control. So we ended up upgrading to the new hub. Regardless, though, the 3 bulbs in this set work with the new hub, so it does not matter.
Overall, the Phillips lights are nice. We also tried the LIFX bulb but I found that it had connectivity problems. The Phillips seems better. But then, the newer LIFX bulbs might have improved those issues.

All the lights are kind of addicting to collect. Like being a kid again collecting hot wheels or something. Makes me feel young again

Bought these for the kitchen can lights. We set them for flourescent type, soft white, and dimmed when we watch TV. Colors are great too.

The best thing about this system is the ease of use. I've tried WeMo and other wifi enabled solutions for lighting and none of them work as reliably as the hue system.
System can turn lights on and off when you come and leave your home. Great dimming. Colors are more of a gimmick to me, but it's something neat to mess around with.
