I bought this lights for my TV room and the living room. They have excellent white light, the colors are very good, except for the green, it does not produce a very green light. Blue and Red and all combinations of the two of them are great. The Hue App is limited, but there are others that help. I love the programability for time and colors. I gave it a 4 because of the green color and the limited features of the HUE app. Feels like they left the development of the features to the public...

I love the Philips Hue lighting system, it adds so much to the ambiance of our home. We've purchased the starter set and several lights in the last 18 months. We use them in our home theater and in our great room/kitchen. The millions of color options can create different moods from calming & relaxed to party time!

It provides bright and vibrant colors. Works best when you hardwire the light switch to the on position and place a hue dimmer switch over it. This will allow it to remember the color you last used while giving you quick and easy everyday access. I also heard Alexa & Siri work well to control the lights.

I bought this bulb to add to my growing Phillips hue wireless light system. Not only does it put out just the right amount of light it's a snap to setup.. Literally twist the bulb into the socket and add it via the app.
I use this bulb and my other ones mostly with the amazon echo, my Gear S2 (via an app) and the mobile application. I have had no problems at all with my purchase so that's a major plus in my book.
I plan on buying more of them and expanding my wireless home lighting, and I would recommend this bulb and the Phillips hue wireless lighting system to my family and friends..

I started switching to LED to cut down on my electric bill and after trying a few Hue lights in the living room, I have expanded them into the master bedroom and bathroom (this bulb in the bathroom), and have become an integral part of my daily routine that I didn't know I needed. Instead of harsh blinding light at night, the seemingly infinite color and brightness choices make middle of the night bathroom trips easy on the eyes. I love listening to music while all my upstairs rooms are lighting up in sync like a night club.
Using the Hue app to create scenes for different activities/modes in combination with Siri voice control and Pico remote switches on the nightstands makes it easy to become lazy and scoff at the idea of actually having to walk across the room to a wall switch.

These lights are pretty neat. I bought them for my new house not knowing that 90% of the house used BR30's and not A19's, but the dining room light fixture worked out alright. Since it's a dining room there hasn't been much reason to mess with the colors but that functions does work just fine. It comes with the version 2 of the bridge so that's nice. Main downside right now is the exorbitant price tag.

I decided to go with this bulb as it had white colors as well as the color palate. Works in unison with the starter kit and other bulbs.

These were a Christmas gift and installed in recessed lights in basement. Fovorite feature is the full control of each individual light rather than the limitation of a entire row with normal light switch. This saves on wiring and switches and when paired with the apps makes it a family hit. Only downside is the price point.

Hue Flood Lamps

These are absolutely awesome! Simply to install just screw out old bulb and screw in new Hue bulb. I had the start kits already so the new flood lamps were found on the hue app once the hub found them. The scenes and color changing abilities make for a great party atmosphere when friends are over and adjust it to normal lighting all other times. Can be controlled using Google Home to turn on and off or switch scenes.

I recently got my kitchen lights re-done and man what a difference. It was because of that that I wanted to upgrade the lighting in the rest of my home. I've always wanted smart home things and this was a perfect start. They are so easy to control and set up and its so much fun to change the colors and scenes of these lights. I have done 3 rooms now with Philips Hue and am very happy with my purchase!

I love the Hue lights. Easy to set up and setting the mood. They are a bit pricey, but well worth the price when you learn how to set the lights up with custom scenes.

Linking to your existing bridge was easy and it connected immediately. Individual bulbs are a bit on the pricey side, but the quality of a Philips product is worth it.

These work as advertised, connect easy and I haven't had any issues with it. I got this for a corner lamp in my living room which project light up, this bulb is only 650 lumen for 60$ so unless you need a directional light I'd suggest the the standard A19 Hue bulb they're 800 lumen and have more light spread. Other than that works good, would be nice if these were 45-50$.

I like the fact that I can have control over my lights. It does make for a fun tool. But it is costly. I purchased the additional warranty and plan to use it.

Easy Install and Great for Parties

Pros:
Easy install. Comes with: (3) light bulbs, (1) ethernet hub for the bulbs, (1) ethernet cable, (1) power cable for the hub. Screw in each light bulb, plug in the hub to the router, connect to app and you're set. You can use them as a regular light bulb, if you wish, by operating the light switch. Design great party backgrounds and use fun apps for the holidays.
Cons:
Hard to connect with Amazon Echo until it updates. Had to do a work around with the Wink app, even then it was very tricky.

Great Smart Lights

These smart lights are very bright and will change to almost any color you could want. They are easy to install (screws in like a normal bulb) and pair with the app. They also are compatible with Google Home, which is excellent. The only complaint would be that they occasionally become unresponsive for periods of time. I highly recommend these to build your smart home lighting. **Remember these are add on lights, you must have the starter kit with the bridge**
