Customer Ratings & Reviews

These lights are expensive but they're entirely worth it. The entire philips hue ecosystem works great, their easy to install, controlling them from your phone is so convenient especially since they turn on and off when you leave and come home. you wont regret buying these. I own the color bulbs as well.

I have a fairly extensive Philips Hue environment in my apartment and I honestly don't know how I dealt with prior light bulbs before investing in this. I will say, after getting everything set up... I wish I would have splurged on the color bulbs from the get go, as they provide all the same shades of white that the Ambiance do... (At least to my eyes they do) Highly recommend Philips Hue, but take my advice, go for a fully immersible color environment. If you buy 1 bulb in color, you're kidding yourself if you don't look back and wish they all put out the same spectrum of color.

BR-30 are the standard for in-ceiling lighting, and these Phillips Hue BR-30 smart light bulbs are a great way to add "intelligence" to your smart home. They are easy to setup as long as you have the required Phillips Hue Bridge already in place. These bulbs can be controlled by a free app on your Apple or Android phone or by the Amazon Echo/Dot or Google Home voice controlled assistants. The other important thing to understand is the light itself. These bulbs have 680 lumens of brightness and are just as bright as the standard bulbs that my contractor had installed in the rest of the ceiling light fixtures. I can't tell the difference between these bulbs and standard ones until i change the color temperature from warm to cool.

These Hue lights are excellent LED lights that replace a typical BR30 spot light. They have good light output and more importantly can be adjusted to different levels of white to yellow to almost orange glow. They are very easy to setup with the Hue app and hub and can be grouped however you want. I have strip lights that run from a loft bedroom over the living room and can now control different sections of it by creating groups. These can also be easily controlled via Alexa, including setting them up in different scenes and now in routines with other functions such as turning the TV and lights on. Get 'em!

I have track lights in my living room, and was originally going to change the dimmer switch to a smart dimmer. It did not work out (turned out to be one of the only switch boxes in the house without an available neutral wire.). After considering options, I decided go with changing the bulbs. So glad! It turned out to be the better option in the long run. The led bulbs are much more efficient than the halogens that they replaced. They are nice and bright white when needed for reading and offer so many brightness and shade options for other activities. I also put one in my entry way, which had a cfl in the recessed fixture. Works great! I love being able to include these bulbs in home automation programs and also to be able to control via voice. They are a bit expensive, but led bulbs last and these offer good functionality. The preset scenes in the Hue app for these bulbs are very nice, plus you can create your own. Integration with SmartThings, Alexa and Stringify flows is a snap.

"Hey Alexa, Turn off kitchen lights" Yeah, It's that simple! Now that every light in my house is a Philips Hue of some sort, I sit on the couch and control the lights not having to move a muscle. Nothing worse than getting comfy on the couch and look over and realize you left the lights on in the kitchen (that's 7 lights for me) Have I gained weight? Probably not but, I feel so lazy. LOL. All jokes aside, There are so many ways to use these lights. I was in a room in the back of the house and thought I heard a noise in the front of the house. I told Alexa to turn on "ALL" lights and she lit this house up like a stadium! I was able to walk through the house and see everything without stumbling for light switches. Think about the elderly or a disabled person, how convenient it would be for them to turn on a light before entering a room instead of going to a dark room then getting the light on. These lights can be controlled from anywhere with the app on your cell phone. I found it easier to enter the serial numbers instead of having the app look for them.

I bought these bulbs to work with the Osram Lightify hub. I added 4 bulbs to my house and everything went very smoothly. The bulbs were recognized immediately by the software on my phone. And then I was able to connect them to my Echo dot without any problems. I absolutely love being able to walk into the house and saying "Alexa, kitchen on." and watch the light come on. This is a great product at a great price.

I really like these lights. I have several in our kitchen and they work great with Alexa. I can have all or just a couple on with voice command. They are capable of daylight or just soft white depending on how much light you need. A little tricky getting them set up but I am very pleased with the results.

I had an existing Hue set up and bought these lights to add dimming functionality to my recessed kitchen lights. Easy to switch out, connected with my set up easily. Only thing I’d change if I could was improve the update process. Took about an hour for all four bulbs to update.

these bulbs work great for dimming and changing the color white. $25 for a plastic bulb seems a lot pricey; however, when I was installing it I dropped it 5ft and it didn't smash and it still worked so maybe it being plastic was a good thing.I love having them set up with Alexa, but u have to be VERY specific what u ask for otherwise they don't turn on. the other thing that sucks is when a power surge happens and the power comes back on I come home to a house that has all of the lights blaring!

All of our living room and bedroom lights are Philips Hue bulbs. These bulbs give us control that we wouldn't otherwise have. These flood bulbs are in the ceiling on a single circuit. No dimmer. With the Hue app, we can control each bulb individually, having different bulbs on and controlling the brightness. Together with the other Hue bulbs in the room, we have created scenes for different occassions - reading, watching TV, entertaining, etc. We can also control them using our Amazon Echo. We have also created Routines that allow us to set different scenes in each room using a single verbal command. "Alexa, good night" turns off all living room lights and turns on two bedroom lights at half brightness.

They are easy to set up with free app and starter kit. Fun and easy to program. Unscrew old bulb and screw in Hue bulb . 5 minutes with the app and you are automated. Hue bulbs also work with ECHO, OK Google and Apple TV. Hey Siri on IPhone And dozens of apps.

This was my escalation from standard Hue bulbs to the ambiant white. These are amazing. I set them up with a motion sensor in the bathroom so that when my wife gets up 20 times a night (shes pregnant) the bright light doesnt wake her up. Hue just works- nice!

Hue continues to be the easiest to set up and use. I put these two in my kitchen. I run them at a relatively high color temperature while I'm cooking, cleaning, etc. and then turn it down to a warmer tone while we're dining.

Philips Hue bulbs are an awesome invention! Paired with our Amazon Echo devices, voice commands turning the lights on and off a wonderful asset to our home. Our family and friends are in awe of how we make the lights do what we want!

Bought these bulbs for the kitchen and hallway which is great because you can change the color from a cool to warm white. Also try pairing hue bulbs with amazon Alexa so you can turn them off by command!

Works exactly as expected. Set up was quite easy and now I voice control it with Google home. The bulb was for warm white light, so the dimming feature was quite nice. Will try it with color changing bulbs next.

These lights are fantastic, never need to turn them on and off once you set up. Also can use with google home and tell them to turn off when you want with voice command.

These lights are great. They are easy to set up and very easy to use. The only knock I would have on them is they are expensive. I won't rate them a four star for that.

This light bulb has really worked well for us. The colors that it produces are vibrant and unique. I particularly like the flickering candle effect that one of the free apps produces. Also, the integration with Google Home has been seamless. You can change colors, dim, brighten, turn on and off all very easily with a simple voice command. Our only complaint is that it occasionally comes on by itself. We haven't yet worked with their support line to figure out if it's a problem with the app or due to sensitivity to power surges or just what may be causing it. But, other than that, I really love the bulb. I have three in my home right now.
