Pros

Philips hue works with apple homekit and alexa. It's easy to set up and easy to use. You can tell siri to dim the bulbs and set the color to a calming sky blue. The bulb price is high but it's worth it.

The colors are bright, vivid, and responsive. You can change the color of the lights based on the time of day. The bulbs are up to 1100 lumens for the 75w equivalent model.

It always works flawlessly once set up. Can't speak highly enough of the customer service. Definitely adds more character to any space.

These bulbs have both hubless (via bluetooth) and hub (via hue bridge with zigbee) connection methods. This makes setup and usage easy and painless. Going from cheap walmart smart bulbs to these is huge they look and function like a far more polished ...  Read More

These are great. They are a little pricy but they end up being worth it. They work as advertised. Durable very well.



Cons

One sheet of bubble wrap isn't enough. They say 22 years in description to justify the cost. The application is horrible.

The hue hub and light bulbs have been rock solid in my home app!


Tried to factory reset and nothing would happen with the lights on the top of the bridge.

Price


I think it’s rather ridiculous to charge $27 for a bulb.


If so i will update the review but right now i am quite disappointed at having shelled out almost $200 for something that doesn't work.


Not cheap, but worth the cost to us.


The only the is that they are to pricey but besides that, they're great.

Shipping


Packaged fast shipping easy to set up.


Amazon was able to ship me a new item, where i can swap out the defective bulb, and then return the original item so that i did...  Read More


This is actually my second shipment of the same product, because the wall plug was bent on the first one.

Competitiveness


Philips hue is by far the best lighting you can get.


The brightness and color range are amazing compared to the first gen.


There are so many competitors these days it's hard to justify buying these for anyone who is not brand-conscious.


I’ve tried several other brands and the quality just doesn’t compare.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had the original hue hub so was forced to get the “new” bridge so all my expensive lights would continue to work…not too happy with the additional cost to keep an older system up running as advertised years ago…i would give only 3 stars to hue for neglecting those that bought so many things previously


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I see a small fortune being spent


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The lights are not the brightest and their rgb colors are wildly inaccurate but they always turn on and off when commanded without any lag


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Setting up the hub is not easy make sure to do it in the hue app first if planning to add accessories that aren’t just light bulbs


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Of the 4 bulbs in the pack only 2 wanted to automatically connect


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had to manually add the other 2 using their serial numbers


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Once all connected to hue adding to apple homekit is easy though i did experience some weird errors where the names and rooms would sometimes not match
