    The standard for reliability and quality.

    Yes... they're the expensive ones. Listen.. I get it. They cost a lot. I would say though, that they actually do work better than some of the competition. I have a mixed set of some Govee lights for other lighting (behind shelves and panels) and it's hit or miss. The bluetooth connection is spotty and slow, i find the colors don't match across product types (ribbons are a different hue that the led bars, etc), the app is ugly and clunky... Then enter Phillips. Polished and works well if you're not trying to make your lights to acrobatics... I am not. So for me.. these are the standard. They work well, and last generations (I've had my original set since about 2014 and they're still going).

    I started out with just a few of these bulbs, and quickly changed out the entire house. Setup is easy and integration with Apple Home is excellent. These second generation bulbs produce much more pure tones of blue and green than before.

    These BR30 bulbs have transformed our media room. The customization options through the Hue app are infinite. If you have recessed lights and already have other Hue products, these are a no brainer. The upgrade in ambiance is fantastic. So happy I purchased these.

    My 5 year old loves reading story books under these colorful lights every night. The set up was easy with the hub. Unlike lifx bulbs controlling these bulbs with Google nest mini and Alexa was a piece of cake. Not only changing colors they have some really stunning scenes built into the app. There are many third party apps that we can use to get the most out of these bulbs. The ambiance goes to a all new high level when you sync them with the music. Definitely recommend these...

    Perfect outdoor accent lighting! I put these on my porch and change the colors based on season/holiday. It adds a little extra festiveness. They also sync perfectly with Amazon Alexa so you can set up routines etc. A little pricey but you get what you pay for.

    Hue is the best set of lighting automation. Tried and still use 2 other brands, but hands down this is the favorite for seamless integration. BR30 type was the latest addition without any hassles.

    Originally I did not want to spend so much money on lights but my wife ended up buying some on Black Friday and since then I have been so thankful. These are awesome and they work great with Alexa. I love being able to set the mood or if I forget to turn them off I just have to go into the app to turn them off. I am working towards putting them in my whole house to make life easy.
