Pros & Cons
Pros
This bulb is the last filament bulb you'll ever need. While the spiral design of the filament departs from the traditional filament pattern of incandescent bulbs, i find that it is beautifully designed.
I have this bulb installed in the lamp and have set it to automatically turn on each evening. They look great in the 8-light bar fixture i bought for my office. If you need to buy 6 or 8 or 12 of these to put in a large fixture that is big money.
Philips has the market cornered a bit, and that's reflected in the pricing. The only negative is the price.
They give off a nice warm yellow glow (not the bright white led nightmare some bulbs give you) on the dimmer end of the light range, they look great as just a sort of ornamentation. They are a no brainer if you have other hue lights in your home.
Leds are in the shape of an incandescent filament coil, and give off a soft, yellow, warm glow. The glow this bulb produces is a warm amber color just like theincandescent style bulb it replaces.
Cons
White isn't white but when making them white they have a green tint coming from the top of the bulb. They look good, work as advertised, but did not last. Count me as another buyer with a dud bulb.
Video is taken while the bulb is completely disconnected from any ecosystem. The lightbulb just blinks when powered on. It has a frequent problem where it flickers, sort of like a candle,when it's at a low brightness level.
On the amazon page it describes it as rated for 200,000+ hours and 20+ year lifespan? What a rip off.
They constantly go offline with alexa and i have to reinstall them. Whenever i am working, the computer shuts off because the cord did not stay all the way plugged in. It is loose and hard to tell that the plug is out.
Highlights
Quality
So i know the quality is there.
The light quality is consistent with modern led warm light.
Just an extra step i was hoping to eliminate by sticking with the same brand.
The other downside is the design of these, basically the bottom of the bulb is blacked out and contains all of the electronics ... Read More
Packaging/appearance
Without the, you know, heat and burning out all the time.
Competitiveness
I consider philips hue to be a trusted and consistent brand.

The hue of the light is very pleasant from the sides of the bulb but directly underneath the light is more “green” with a dim circle in the center

The only difference connecting these was that the original bulbs were able to be installed directly into alexa these required downloading the hue app to my smartphone before i could program them with alexa
