    My entry into the world of Hue. Fantastic stuff ! Still getting used to all the different settings, routines etc and havi8ng to reset it all when kids start messing about with it. However Philips bulbs are very good quality and though significantly more expensive than other Hue compatible bulbs are more reliable and seem to have a more consistent connection to hub. Worth paying the extra really for the convenience.

    Wasn’t sure about buying these as they are a little pricey for light bulbs, but I’m glad that I did I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how nice they are. I will eventually replace all the existing bulbs in my house with them.

    Good price and works flawlessly with Apple products. Does work with my S8, but not the voice function unless I buy a separate Samsung connect hub. Regardless I’ve used this with the white and ambiance bulb as well and was very impressed.

    Golden Review Award: 13 From Our UsersGreat smart lighting system, that is flexible and expandable, and integrates into so many day to day things!

    I have this integrated with out Plex Media Server, which plays all our TV and movies, and is so nice to be able to play a movie and have the lights automatically go out, and then back on again when pausing/stopping the movie… not to speak of the recent ability to have the lights change colour according to what is going on in the movie/tv… just a great lighting system that is well worth the money.

    Not only do we have the cinema effect, but in conjunction with the Philips Hue Intelligent Motion Sensor Smart Accessory, Apple HomeKit Enabled, Works with Alexa,White we have a more efficient lighting system in the house… no more fumbling for lights when going to the toilet at night… and no being blinded either, as you can set the lights to be triggered in night light mode… just a great lighting system that I would not be without now.

    Very easy to set up and the lights are fantastic. Can control the brightness, intensity and also dims nicely. The routine feature on the app, allowing you to gently wake up to an every brightening glow or setting the light to slowly dim out in the kids room at night is great. Also Integrates with Alexa very well but, be careful when having several lights named slightly similar, it can confuse Alexa which light your on about and the constant response can be frustrating so, note to not have lights named alike. Overall Brilliant.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI thought long and hard about this before buying. I really only wanted to be able to use Echo to switch on and off our outside lights. It was ridiculously easy to set up and to link to Alexa. It works perfectly so far. I am now tempted to add more lights, though the expense is more than a little discouraging.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersFinally took the plunge and opted for the Phillips Hue smart lighting. Really impressed with the kit. The setup was simple and easy and the bulbs were up running and linked to the app in all of 5 minutes. Easy integration with Alexa via the Skills section in the Alexa app also. I have since purchased more bulbs which are all now linked to their own routines, scenes and geofenced.

    Would highly recommend!

    Best thing is you don’t even need a dimmer switch. We changed his light switch to a regular one (instead of a dimmer) to be compatible with the bulbs in this kit and were DELIGHTED to discover that you can actually have the light dim by voice activation in percentage increments. Impressive!

    So far so good. Easy setup, and the bulbs work well in my very old vintage lamps. I only hope the novelty of shouting “Alexa, Lights Off!” while I’m trying to read or otherwise get things done wears off for my boyfriend soon.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersYes they are expensive but hopefully I’ll get years of use out of them. Set up was a doddle and it works perfectly with the amazon echo. I can’t imagine having to go back to the old days of switching on and off the lights rather than asl Alexa to do it for me. You can also ask Alexa to dim them 25% 50% 75%

  40. Gayle4796fbq says:

     United Kingdom

    Really good and work very well via the app. These are screw fit bulbs though – be aware as I didn’t read that part.

    The other thing is that, I don’t understand how you’re supposed to turn your lights on and off if you don’t have the app I.e. does everyone in the house have to have the app and therefore you have to open the app to turn the lights on and off? It can be done using the light switches but if you turn them off at the switch then the app won’t work.

    Good for security when you’re not there, but not so good for turning lights on and off if you’re in the house.

    I have connected mine to Alexa but it is quicker to get up and click the switch than it is to ask Alexa to turn them on and off.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThese give a fairly warm light and are fully able to be dimmed. Whilst it was a bit of a pain setting these up to work with the Echo Dot it will be good for my partially sighted mother to be able to switch room lights on with a voice command in the middle of the night so she can safely make her way to the loo. The lights have to be assigned to a room in the Hue app before the Echo Dot will operate them

    Shame these only comes in a screw bulb but the adapters are cheap enough. A great piece of kit, app is very good as well. Smooth running with the app and bridge and no delay between using the app and the lights coming on. Timer setting works perfectly and the dimmable function is really nice. My favourite feature is the ‘sunrise’ effect; where the light comes on at its lowest and then gradually gets brighter until full over a time period of your choosing. Work well when connected out of home as well, switching the lights on before arriving at home is a nice feature. The only downside is many years of being told to switch lights off, which obviously switches the bulb off completely.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our Usersordered these hoping that they would come new and unopened. The box had clearly been opened before as there was just normal tape over the top of the factory seal that was cut. Upon opening the box the cardboard that was supposed to hold the uk plug adaptor was ripped open and the adaptor was already attached to the plug. on one of the bulbs there were green marks on the plastic. none of this effects the use of the product but it would be nice to have had a new un opened product.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI am totally in love with all things Philips Hue; I have the bulbs, bloom lamps, and the Go. I started with it a year ago and only just got these white bulbs. They are version 2 with the Apple HomeKit enabled bridge if controlling your lights by Siri is your thing. For me I enjoy setting scenes and moods with colour lamps, and use these in my hall so I can switch them on via the hue website as Im leaving work. Lovely to come home to the house lit up, andmay have some security benefit too.
