    Excellent bulbs! Super happy with their capabilities! Hue app is easy to use and I can have bulbs respond with Alexa very easily! I have a mix of bulbs like LIFX, Sengled, Yeelight, TuyaSmart, Geenie, Govee, and MagicHome. I find Phillips Hue has overall the best combination when it comes to lights with superb coloring and an app that is easy to use. Having the same family allows for easier integration with setting scenes and animations. You can control these bulbs via Phillips hue app, virtual assistant and sSmarthings. Pricing is the only con. They are expensive but you get what you pay for. I would certainly recommend these to everyone!

    Great way to get Started With Philips HUE

    At first I had trouble getting the hub to connect to the light bulbs, and I was hoping only 20-25 feet away from it wouldn't be an issue... Well, that was with the hub laying down, next to the router. So I decided to mount it on the wall behind the router, as high as I could with the cables provided to me. Even though it was only about a foot difference, it apparently made all of the difference in the world! And they worked like a charm after that.

    Great lumens, great colors, best app of any smart bulbs and integration with other smart home devices. Just wish one hub could support more than 50 bulbs and 12 accessories. Not a fan of needing multiple hubs if you have over 50 bulbs. Runlesswire and Lutron Aurua are the best replacement switches to pair with Hue bulbs. No more of having the bulbs power turned off.

    You'll never go back to regular lightbulbs!

    Where to start!? These lightbulbs are definitely a must have if you like to play with lighting in your home. I take advantage of the pre-set scenes from the Phillips Hue app for mornings, afternoons, nights and play with the colors when I have guests over. They're always intrigued by the different color settings :) A big plus for me is using the automation feature to have these lights turn on in the mornings (say good bye to loud alarms!) Waking up naturally by a gradually increasing light source is definitely a better way than some phone alarm. The price is a bit expensive I must say but worth every buck

    Bought these because of the different color settings this has. This has color settings for various things like relaxing, reading a book, concentration mode for working at home. It's well worth the money. You can adjust each individual light or all of them together to just about any color that you want. The app has a built in dimmer so you won't need to buy the separate dimmer unless you want to. You will have to connect the hub to an ethernet port on your router or switch. The only downside was that it didn't not work with the dimmer I currently had and had to change the light switch to a normal switch.

    Sets the mood for anything really. Do a lot of gaming and its pretty rad for that cause I have lights behind my tv as well. Plan on getting more and more and more till i'm poor so my whole house is moody! Although the one problemo I've had with it and this is just ONE! Today me and my gf were saying bye to each other and the lights turned on by themselves, neither of us were on our phones. Kinda SPOOOOOKY!

    These Phillips hue lights are awesome, you can do so much with the Phillips hue Bridge and the Phillips hue app, you can set up and play with so many colors the possibilities are endless, I will be buying more of these lights in the future, cause I want to have em set up in every room, it's a lil costly but once you get em and have the experience im having, you'll want to buy more lights just like me, I hope this helps, and Enjoy!!!

    These lights are high quality but a little bit on the expensive side. But it works solid and so as the app. The bridge is also pretty reliable

    I really enjoy using this white and color lighting system! The setup is quick and easy, and syncs well with the Philips Hue free app. There are endless color and display options available. I am really glad I purchased this product, and since then I've bought 9 more bulbs to go with it.

    The colors of these bulbs are simply beautiful. However, we're not sure if these bulbs will turn on if there's a disruption in the power. If someone turns off a light switch and then turns it back on, these bulbs do not turn on as scheduled, so we suspect the same thing will happen when there's a power outage if we're away from home.

    This was a mistake. Do not buy unless you want to get addicted to having a connected home. I now have this Hue kit and 4 (other brand) smart lights - it's too bad there isn't an entirely open standard for control, but Alexa/Siri/Google can interact with all of them (and, if you're savvy, you can run a HomeBridge server to enable Siri to manage all the cheap ones). It's important to note that only Hue smart lights work within the Hue ecosystem, so you'll have to stick to Hue (which is probably the best choice - much better than Lifx or Ikea's Tradfi, and is capable of working with SO MANY other apps and programs - like Razer to create an immersive gaming experience).
