Philips Hue White Ambiance Dimmable Smart Filament ST19, Warm-White to Cool-White LED Vintage Edison Bulb, Bluetooth & Hub Compatible (Hue Hub Optional), Voice Activated with Alexa

nice porch light

It looks great, easy to setup and all but there is a lag to turn on. I have it in a group with 3 A19 Hue Ambient White bulbs and a Hue remote to control the group. When I press the power ON, the A19s fade in as expected but not the G25. It stays off for about 2-3 second and then comes on at full intensity (even though in the scene preset it may be set to dimmed). I had to change the default power on to be the last level, so that it behaves a bit better. Once on, there is no lag to dim or turn it off (i.e. not a communication/signal issue, plus firmware is latest). Still, the delay is rather disappointing and I have opened a support case with Philips about it. 3 stars for now, give the expectation that a premium product like this should not have such glaring issues.

If you are looking for one of the Edison style bulbs, double check the temperature rating of the bulbs, especially if you want the option of having anything but an AMBER light. I really wanted a cool white light source, but in an Edison style bulb. My local Home Depot had the bulbs in stock, but not tuneable to cool white. Trust me, Amber is NOT a good task light source!

We have a globe-type open shade and I was so tired of seeing the ugly bulb. This really made me happy to finally put in a bulb I do not mind seeing. It’s definitely stylish and functions great. We have many other hue lights (bulbs, strip & go lamp) and are very happy with the hue products. You do need the hue bridge to make any of these work with the “smart” feature (and Alexa), but once you have that you can keep adding bulbs / lights. Definitely worth buying.

This light is easy to add to the Hue app, Google home, or HomeKit, making it easy to set the desired brightness and the schedule you want it on(I use for porch lighting) and then you just let it go!

Lightbulb is really nice in terms of how it looks, the ambiance, and hue selections. However, it falsely advertised that it can integrate with Google Home. In reality you must have the Philips Bridge device to integrate with Google Home, which costs another $60! If you are looking for an equally good smart bulb that actually integrates easily with Google Home, we found that GE Cync bulbs work much better. They are also generally more reasonably priced that this one.

I bought two for use in outdoor light fixtures on my porch. One or the other decides to turn on, of its own volition, at random times during daylight hours. I use an Alexa schedule which it follows except for this turning on occasionally in the middle of the day. I havent been able to determine any pattern. Maybe an electrical quirk? Its an annoyance but not a deal breaker.

Ordered an expensive bulb thats tied into my Phillips hue bridge, these are decorative Edison bulbs ,.. On the Amazon page it describes it as rated for 200,000+ hours and 20+ year lifespan? I got less than a year and a half and when I called Amazon they did not have any type of a remedy, only to tell me I needed to call the manufacture. Very disappointing customer service experience with Amazon!!, I felt it was obviously defective and that they wouldve provided me a remedy. I will not be purchasing these products again

Only want colors. Wanted bright cool. Also Many cheaper alternatives exist like Wiz just as easy to install and maintain.

Product photos are a bit deceptive, it looks like you can go full orange and adjust whiteness, but this gives off full on orange light. Way too much for me and I like orange light and use screen tint on all my devices.
