Philips Hue White Ambiance A19 2-Pack 60W Equivalent Dimmable LED Smart Bulbs (Hue Hub Required, Works with Alexa, Apple Homekit & more), Old Version, 2 Bulbs (453092)

These are awesome lights, the only thing you should know without the smart light switch and you turn the light switch off by phone, you cant turn the light switch back on by light switch. I love I can dim each light or manual adjust each one in my ceiling fans.

Ease of installation and use

Well its an LED bulb that does what it does.

They work great!! No problems linking to my existing hub. Would buy again.

These lights are my go to light bulbs for overhead lighting. While Hue are more expensive then other brands they have the best integration with other smart home devices. I own several of this bulb and have not had any issues with them. The color gets very warm to very cool and the bulbs are very dimmable. This bulb is a great option if you are not interested in color lighting but want more options on the range of whites then the basic hue bulb.

I bought these to work with a Hunter fan that has a remote that controls speed and light level. On installation, both lights started flashing/strobing. Really disappointed. I got these ti work specifically with Alexa. Standard A19s work fine, according Akexa to dim them. I had to move these to regular ceiling light fixture in order to get the additional feature of color warmness to function. $25.00 per lightbulb and they wont function with Alexa properly with the top brand Hunter fan. I wanted to try out bulbs that changed color but now that purchase is on hold. Will it function as it should? I dont trust it.

If you are new to Philips Hue, you will need a bridge to control these lightbulbs. Either the Philips Hue bridge or another smart home device that has one built in like the new Amazon Echo Plus. If you have a hub device then you are good to go! Works as expected right out of the box. Bulbs were detected in app with no issues. These were an excellent addition to a room with no installed fixtures that are controlled by a light switch. Love being able to set different tones for the level of white.

Love these bulbs

Love my Hue bulbs...Always work well for me

This worked great until Phillips decided to dishonor its promotion with echo which stated you could use their bulb without the bridge/hub and greedily disconnect the amazon alexa app so you cannot connect the skill through the app. They seem to have done this in order to force people to buy their overpriced hubs and bridges. We disconnected and were unable to connect back to it through our echo so now we have an overpriced $2 bulb. Additionally they discontinued the hue bluetooth app on the play store to force people into their new system
