Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance LED Smart Light Bulb Starter Kit, 3 A19 Smart Bulbs & 1 Hue Hub (Works with Alexa, Apple HomeKit & Google Assistant)

I have bought more philips hue bulbs than i ever imagine i would, and i think i made a good decision. While the bulbs always struck me as a little dimmer than expected, the colours and functionality (take zigbee options when available), are just unbeatable. Great product overall, i just hope they were not as pricy.

I love Phillips Hue! Although these bulbs are very expensive, these bulbs more than make up for the price. Being able to control and adjust brightness of these lights from bed is amazing! You can control the lights from the Hue app from outside of your home as well. I love the convenience and the only issue I ever had with a bulb was quickly addressed by Phillps Hue (they sent a new bulb for no cost).

I like that you can change colors. However, they are not bright enough. Also, after a year, one of the bulbs stopped changing colors and now the two bedroom lamps are not the same color. Not sure how to replace the defective one since I bought them from Amazon and not Phillips.

App was not compatible with my older Android phone.

These Hue lights are nice while they last, but they Doug last long at all. I had 2 bulbs fail within 3 years. One was under warranty and Phillips replaced it. The other one was a few months past warranty and Phillips would not stand by their product. Overpriced for something that is guaranteed to fail.

Set this up with the Hue Hub - integrated into Google Home. Adding more devicesfeatures as time goes on. A little pricey. All works. Set up on Hue first - then integrate it into Google or Alexa

If you are just starting a smart home. This is the product to purchase. Easy set up with Alexa. Once you get the hub you can buy more Philips smart bulb to add to your smart home.

I have 2 bridges and about 20 bulbs in 2 houses. These things are the most finicky/buggy/infuriating tech I have in my house. I bout my first set about 2 years ago. I am constantly having issues and having to reset the bulbs manually, which sucks if you have to pull out a ladder for the ceiling because you need the tiny code on the bulb. Another thing that sucks is the super untech app, which is simple but frustrating. My biggest issue is that you cant delete lights. Each time I reset, I cant get rid of the old names. I have other brand smart products and I desperately wish I would have started with those as now I have to decide to throw away $800 worth of bulbs or deal with these glitchy ones.

worth the money
