    Good Bulb, not remotely cost effective

    These are fairly decent bulbs as the only real candelabra bulb answer for Hue, that's the only thing 4* about it. I think the price is quite absurd, I'd give that 2* by itself. However, the availability of these is into some kind of negative star point in comparison to the other two points above. Again, completely decent bulb, but I'm literally buying replacement light kits for all of my current candelabra ones because that plus regular Hue bulbs is egregiously more cost effective.

    Bought Sevetal of these bulbs over the past four years; more two weeks ago to add to lighting scape. Oldest bulbs burn dusk to Dawn 7 days a week and still burning brightly. Great lighting for the holidays and your favorite sports games. Pricy, but worth it.

    Great bulb and does not require phillips hub. I got 3 for my bedroom and I can definitely see the difference between these and the old ones I had installed. Great product and compatible with my Amazon Alexa. Overall I am satisfied with the product but it’s really overpriced, @ $50 for 1 bulb.

    Set up for this light was a breeze, just like every other Hue product. The colors shine surprisingly bright despite having a frosted black glass lamp shade, very happy with how it turned out!

    Triple the price of the all white ones but nice to have color choices. When wifi modems didn't have enough to run alot of wifi devices Hue had a point with the hub but now a days the price is alittle ridiculous for a smart bulb if you have a modern wifi modem. Still hub is a plus in most cases. Had to buy an adapter so it would fit the ceiling fan as it has a more standard plug but less room for a full size bulb. These are tall so check your clearance.

    I wanted to upgrade my chandelier lights and this was perfect. I love all the options for color it has. It's pricey, but overall money is saved over the lifetime of the bulbs. A+++

    I've used a few different smart lights over the years, and Hue is the easiest to use. Yes, it's a little pricey, but it just works, which is more than I can say about some other smart lights out there.

    Excellent bulb. A bit wisely with the automation settings in the app but should be an easy fix. Love the ability to customize the colors and settings. I used to have a lamp plugged to a smart plug and figured this bulb should last a long time and everything is built in.

    I bought two of these and put them in some vintage stained glass lamps. Beautiful and Magical, are words to describe how it transformed these wonderful lamps with the Hue Bulbs. Any color, any brightness, you pick the mood you want. I use them with my Alexa's, super cool.

    Expensive but I think totally worth it. Bulbs have a 2 year warranty. Bulbs with color are more expensive than ones that just have variations of white. All the bulbs work with the HUE hub (required) and can be controlled y the phone app or through Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant device. The app can be set up to control the bulbs remotely (internet connection required). You can control them individually or as a group (like 3 bulbs for a fan or a whole room that has multiple bulbs in multiple devices). You can even use voice commands to change the color (using basic ROYGBIV colors). I've had some of my bulbs for about 2 years now and I add a new bulb to the network every so often.

    Great bulbs. Very easy to set up. (I have a hub). The hue app allows for the full potential of the bulbs to be used. Better HomeKit integration would be nice but it covers all the bases. Price could be better but if you got the money they are a good buy.

    I placed these into two stand alone lamps placed on my fireplace and paired them with the rest of my Hue setup. The variety of smart light types and sizes contribute to a nice ambiance from these little babies.
