Customers are saying

Customers admire the hue BR-30 Starter Kit's ease of use, vibrant colors, and the ability to control the lights individually via smartphone app or other smart home systems. Many appreciate the straightforward setup process and the extensive compatibility with other home automation devices. However, some customers find the product expensive, and a few have reported experiencing a buzzing sound from the bulbs. The app's user-friendliness is also a point of positive feedback.

    These lights are pretty amazing. They changed the way I have perceived lighting and how I can use it. It made me want to go out and look at a ton of lamps and light fixtures to put them in to hilight in my house. That being said, the app is less than desirable, and so are many, many others of the hue apps. Setting the geofence very rarely worked, maybe it's my router or my phone, but it didn't work well.

    This system is great to change or add mood lighting to your home or apartment. It costs a bit more than I think it should even for the starter kit but once you get started with a set you want to keep adding more. I really like the timers I can add to turn specific bulbs on or off. Being able to remotely control the system from my phone outside of my home network is great as well. I have not tried out the perimeter settings out yet but like any fence option is seems like it would be a great feature for many people.

    They pretty dope I mean it's just a color changing light bulb with a few apps you can get on your phone but If you got the money to slang on some bulbs these are off the chain and can definitely make the crib look like its on a whole nother level. Kinda taxin on the price so instead of four stars it gets three.

    Was iffy at first about purchasing this product but now that I finally did I have no regrets. The lights are easy to install and you can set the light colors to perfectly fit your mood! There is nothing like laying down and getting comfortable and turning your lights off from your phone rather than getting out of bed!

    Very Happy with these Bulbs

    These bulbs are expensive but they achieved exactly what I was looking for. We wanted the 4 recessed lights in our bedroom on a dimmer. Yes...I could have installed a dimmer but it actually wasn't all that easy because of the size of the box the switch was in, so we decided to try the programmable bulbs. There are not a lot of instructions in the packaging but they were very easy to set up. The set, though, only comes with 3 bulbs and I needed 4. So we bought an additional single which also was easy to set up. We use the Hue App on an iPhone to control the bulbs and the app is very easy to use. Different light colors are great as well. Overall, this was exactly what I wanted.

    Opening the boxed items, I notice scuff marks and scratches (lightly; perhaps it was factory issue packing problem: I get too judgement sometimes). These lights are not cheap even as the old 1st generation version (2nd gen is available now). I was under the impression that the items I was purchasing were brand-new not used or resealed. Still I got them $60 off of $199. Which was worth the venture. Still finding out after a mail delivery was disappointing. (UPS delivery service was not to fun either to work around). Online buying will always be tricky, even with my favor stores. All in all it great using LED Wi-Fi coloring change control lights. Weather your home or got a internet connect you got control. Syncing may cause some need for troubleshooting or return of purchase resolving. You got to try them and see if they are a fit. Many other companies and many other always to set them up better... Figuring new tech is alway got its curves.

    These lights are so much fun. I can ajust the lighting to whatever mood I'm feeling or if I'm entertaining. I can save settings or mix it up. All is done by smart phone. I love that I can set up my lights to turn on automatically when I arrive home. Although a little pricey I highly recommend.

    These things are awesome there are some really neat things you can do with them. Easy to setup and very user friendly with plenty of apps. Little pricey but I think they are worth it once integrated into you home automation system.

    These lights were an addition to my HUES Lighting system. I love the versatility the Phillips lighting offers. The apps available allow you to create and schedule your own custom scenes. I have tried other brands with varied success, but Phillips HUES lights are consistently reliable.

    The system is a little pricey but it's well worth the money because you're able to set the mood no matter and and What it is. If your feeling blue you can actually make your room blue, and it's a variety of colors in the rainbow so you can mix and match colors with your different light bulbs
