    Easy set up works good with apple HomeKit/Siri. Light switches getting turned off can be annoying but if you switch to eve switches all works well. Price could be better but you get what you pay for.

    It is nice to have the same automatic lighting at home like what businesses have where lighting can be turned on or off with the companion of motion detectors to help save energy when a person forgets to turn off the light like in the bathroom. Also, the dimable feature allows for brightness adjustment such as daytime or nightime in addition to how the light can brighten slowly rather than give you a blinding headache when the lights are turned on at night.

    I love my Philips Hue system! I got this set to supplement and have a back-up bridge--which I haven't even needed to use. The reach of this system is whole house--which is what I needed. It is really cool that you can establish a whole bunch of different scenes yourself or use some that are pre-established. i have my outside ones all set up to be the same color.

    I had other smart light bulbs but wanted to switch to a system that could handle more accessories and grow throughout my whole house. Being able to add motion sensors and dimmers easily is great. My house is very smart with this set and other accessories added. I like that the hue app and hue family grow with new features and accessories. They work solidly and setup is a breeze.

    I'm absolutely obsessed with these lights--I've now purchased ten in total. Having the bridge is simply a must, as it allows me to organize all of the rooms in my house. I have yet to try out hooking them up to my TV while gaming/watching movies, but I am very eager to do so. Honestly, no product has so positively influenced my daily life as these lightbulbs.

    First I wouldn’t recommend these for your main overhead lights. These are made (I feel) for table lamp lights to compliment the room. These work best in pairs in a room based on the theme colors they have pre-set in the app. Unlike their stupid expensive sync box, the price on these bulbs are justified with how many hours of life they produce.

    Incredible! One of those products that you don’t think will add much to your life, but has easily become one of my favorite “decorations” for my house. I absolutely love the preset “themes” as well as the ease of use for the app. I honestly keep the lights on even with my window open due to how pretty it looks.

    I love these lights, they change the atmosphere and are so easy to manage! I can turn them on and off through the app or google home mini. It gives you suggestions of color patterns or you can manually select you preferences. Great purchase, will be adding more!

    Was hesitant at first about paying $200 for this. Looked at the reviews and while there seemed to be other systems out there that were similar, their reviews weren't nearly as good. Glad we got this. Set up was relatively easy and the system does everything advertised.

    No issues no problems! I have a little over 30 of these bulbs in my home and the are great! Never had an issue. Hubs work flawlessly! Just great quality! I’m only upset it’s so expensive but you get what you pay for and they have never let me down!

    This is my second Philips Hue kit. 2 separate Homes (NJ & NC). The integration of both hubs can be a little tricky, But it worked. However, not exactly sure, I lost connectivity to the Hub recently, it is not a network issue or a power issues, as all of my other Wi-fi devices are working fine.

    I have a lot of fun playing with the color of the lights, but am not sure they are worth the price. I also have had more trouble than I expected getting used to leaving the switch turned on and controlling the light through the bulb. Maybe that is just me, but it is definitely not intuitive.

    Awesome product, worthless tech support

    Excellent product compared to the competition. Expensive but well worth it. The app is extremely easy to use, designed well, and has enough features to customize your lighting setup how you want. The desktop app allows you to sync the lights with the visuals or music displayed on your screen. Super easy! I'm removing one star because I initially experienced a problem where the lights caused my gigabit internet speed to drop tremendously. Foreign tech support was absolutely terrible and kept insisting it was my home network. They claimed "their products don't have problems". They never got back to me as promised. I ended up relocating the hub to a different room and changing the channel in the software, then I restarted everything. It works perfectly fine now.
