These lights are perfect for what I needed. I have high ceilings and my old bulbs went out so I was looking for replacements. These illuminate my living room and give it a cozy feel when I dim them. I recommend these for anyone looking for smart lights

I had purchased these for my two sofa lamps. After the quick 2 minute set-up with my Google Assistant, they were up and running! I love the fact that I’m able to adjust the percentage of light for them to set the mood in the family room, especially when it comes to movie night or when company is over. A definitely must-buy!

I use Philip hue bulbs all over my house. Love them. The ones I received look like they may be used. Packaging is completely torn apart. I will be returning these, not because of the product, but the condition I received them.

These lights are great for our ceiling fan. I added the wall switch for dimming and it works perfectly. These are very bright so I have to dim them a little. I'd definitely buy these again.

I love the quality of Hues Lights. More expensive but worth it. I still have bulbs from 2012 that I use daily! I used cheaper bulbs that came out since then but had problems with them flashing or reconnecting after storms. No issues with this brand.
I highly recommend Phillips Hues. However, I don't recommend buying refurbished ones from Best Buy. I tried that and it did not work out well. Buy new or clearance- not refurbished.

I previously used Ce by GE light bulbs but recently bought new lamps that use candle bulbs...annoying, right? Well luckily I also had a Philips Hue system at home as well so connected these right on up and they work like a charm! Very easy to use, very bright as well, and it's nice to be Able to use wifi or bluetooth to connect them. Made it super easy to connect them to my Google Home system.

I’ve been waiting on these bulbs to go on sale so I can buy them and use them in my home. So happy with the results. I can not control my ceiling fan bulbs without needing to pull on the draw string!

Hue ecosystem is the go to for smart lighting. Bulbs are a little long so if you have an enclosed fixture make sure you keep your receipt in case it doesn't fit.

I finally caved and bought the E12 bulbs, my main hesitation was due to cost compared to standard A19 bulbs, but totally worth and I kick myself for delaying my purchase. The Philips Hue bulbs have never let me down and easily connect with our Amazon Echo Devices (Alexa).

Easy to set up and easy to adjust light! Just open up the app and add the lights by following the prompts! And then you can change the tint of the white to more yellow or more blueish or white light!

My house has been set up with hue A19 lights for a long time, but after a recent move my bedroom was the only room without smart bulbs due to a chandelier style fixture. I delayed for a while due to lack of cheaper white bulbs, but finally pulled the trigger now that the basic white E12 bulbs are out. I have been super impressed at the amount of light they put out, as I currently only have 3 of 4 bulb positions filled, and I cannot tell the difference at 100% brightness. Plus, now I can dim them to whatever amount of light I desire. They work as well as all the other Hue products. Highly recommend!

Best bang for the buck Hue candle lights.

These are the most basic of the Hue candle lights but also the most affordable. A step up from here allows you to adjust the white level from warm to cold. A further step up is full color spectrum, however the latter is an unreasonable $50 or more per bulb. For simple hue candle lights that sit on the warmer side of neutral, you can’t go wrong with these.
