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)

Bought the three A9 color set with the hub on Amazon Prime day. Package arrived two days later. Setup took all of 5 minutes. 1. Plug in the hub 2. Plug in the light bulbs 3. Download and use the Philips Hue App on your Mobile 4. Setup the lights, make a room and youre done The quality of the lighting is just fantastic. The integrations to Apple Home, etc are easy and works out of the box (which little setup needed) I had a lot of fun messing around with different color combinations and its easy to save a preset (or use the included ones) Set a wake up timer and the lights slowly faded on this morning around 6:30 (excellent way to wake up - Excited to use this in the winter) Going to replace all my bulbs with these down the line. With this quality and level of flexibility its a no brainier. And yes... these are expensive but you are truly getting what you paid for.

So easy to use. Voice activation with my Echo Show. Convenient.

GENERATION 2, not 3 or 4!that is why it is cheap, do not buy, not only is this seller misleading but the gen 3 is significantly brighter and higher quality w additional features.

Love this set. I have placed them in different rooms and now have even set up my routines for each room. The lights come on when I am gone, for peace of mind. The app for my phone is also extremely intuitive and easy to use.

I was angry that this came without instructions and then, when I went to set it up, my router blew out (It was 2 years old). So this was an expensive setup! I called customer service and could not understand or get a word in edgewise with the agent. It was all very frustrating. Also, this came with 3 bulbs, but only 2 show up on the app...so I have to go through multiple steps to get the ones that I want turned on...on, minus the other one...its complicated... I have tried to disable/re-enable, but hue still only recognizes 2 lights. Cmon Philips!

Easy to put in the light fixture. Challenge to connect to. Does not stay connected all the time

Love it but sometimes it doesnt work well. Bearable though.

Great! The ads description is accurate!

I like the adjustability and brightness of these lights. I dont think they are a good value, even with the big discount of the sale price. The color brightness is certainly better than Feit. But Feit bulbs can be had in a two pack for half of the cost of a single Hue bulb. They dont require a hub, they have Google and Alexa integration. And while they arent as bright with the colors, they do include some interesting color cycling similar to what you would see on RGB for a PC. Hue may have that functionality somewhere, but I have yet to find it. I dont know how useful that is, its not something Im particularly interested in, but it may be to some. I may buy one more Hue product (a strip light) for my office but anywhere else I want smart bulbs Ill be looking to Feit. They stand behind their product, and the one time I had a failure, they didnt question me or make it a hassle. I had two new bulbs in a couple of days.

Lots of programming options through the required hub. Programming the hub is not very intuitive at first. There are cheaper options.
