Reviews for Philips Hue Connected Bulb - Single Pack

the bulbs that come with the starter kit will only sync the the brain they came with. don't plan on running them with another brain. you have to buy individual bulbs to add any pieces to a set. most of the software is a little funky .. but there a few that are cool and have a future as great apps. I'm working on a couple of very cool mods to trip on.

te system does rock. don't listen bad reviews. work around the current flaws and get ready for the future of controlled environments.

I don't usually write reviews on techie products, but rarely does a product come out that has such a WOW factor. We purchased these for the simple reason that we wanted to control our house lighting remotely, the color thing was interesting, but not a factor in our purchase.

WOW, this product has simply changed our house entirely. The hues are so interesting and warm, the atmosphere these lights create can simply not be duplicated by any other means that doesn't cost thousands of dollars in custom lighting.

The devices installed seamlessly, the applications are absolutely bug free and work intuitively. The ability to create scenes is nothing short of amazing.

From the packaging, to the install to the creating a hue account online, this is one class product. My only advice is to count up the number of bulbs in your house and bite the bullet and order then with your initial purchase. We had them installed about 10 minutes before we went online and purchased more.

WOW

I just got and have working my Philips Hue. The only limitation is that this system will not work with lights on existing dimmer switches. Some of the rooms that I have in mind have dimmer switches, which now will require a change out from the dimmers, and if an electrician is required that adds substantially to your project. Once installed the Philips Hue allows you to dim lights until your heart's content. Sigh.

The product setup is literally listed on the cover of the box.
3 easy steps.
1) Plug in the light bulbs
2) Plug in the hue hub and connect it to your wifi router.
3) Download the HUE app on your Iphone.


It really was simple.

I'm currently using this product for games and have screenshots of each zone on my list. When entering a new zone, i'll switch my scene in the HUE app and voila. Total immersion in the red mountains or the blue hills. This product is excellent!

I just picked up the starter kit and this thing is awesome. It works great and love the flexibility of being able to use it with my iPhone, iPad and through the web. So cool. I particularly like the fact that you can make it closer to incandescent bulbs.

Great work Philips!

Put in our living room super easy to setup. Changed for parties to have fun. Relaxed mode at night and when we are all asleep on the couches I turn everything off from my phone which is great when your all comfortable. Can't wait to get more bulbs now.

I bought these on Halloween and have been using them ever since. They work exactly as advertised and is probably the coolest gadget I own. It's the first thing I show anyone that comes to my house and they are always blown away.

I use them every morning to wake up. I have them fade onto red light over the course of nine minutes. The result is that I'm never startled awake by an alarm anymore.

The ONLY downside to these is that they're now on a 3-4 month back-order and I really would like some more for other rooms in my apartment.

I just love it, I had problems with the extra bulbs and had to reset them with the living colors remote but now is smooth sailing. I use everything, the colors, timers, scenes, make my own you name it. Like the ipad, I didn't know I couldn't live without it until I had it.

This apple exclusive is amazingly incredible! ive had it for one day and ive been loving it so much that im afraid that if i keep fooling around with it ill burn them out. Since there 600 Lumens and only 8.5 watts they wont though! Absolutely incredible! At least try it because when you do...you'll probably fall in love with them!

I have owned these bulbs for about 2 weeks, and I have to say that they are one of the coolest and most conventional purchases I have made in a long time! My only nit-picky thing is that I think they are marketing this product wrong. Phillips is putting a lot of emphasis on the color (which IS cool), but in reality, these are 21st century lightbulbs. Here's why:

- LED Lightbulbs can last between 15-25 years! I won't have think about replacing one of these guys until 2027!

- Consumes up to 80% less power than traditional lightbulbs.

- Programmable luminosity, color, and on/off!

Really guys, they are exactly like your lightbulbs you have right now. Just not at all like the lightbulbs you have right now. :) Great buy! Love them!
