Pros & Cons
Pros
The bulb is perfect in every other way. The different colors war brighter than cheaper competitors products. It's difficult to find a bright candle bulbs needless to say that it also has to be smart bulbs.
They work fine with siri and apple homekit. Integrates well with alexa, changes color when told, dims and brightens just fine. Easy to use and links very seamlessly to the alexa app. Programming them is easy via the hue app and separate hub.
Philips wiz. Wiz is a great brand. The app is very easy to use.
Cons

These bulbs are way too bulbous to fit through the openings of the chandelier. They fit into the sockets just fine, except they won't fit in the glass bowls of our chandeliers. Bulbs become super hot to the touch after about 30 minutes.

Delivery was exactly as ordered - ordered 8 lights and received 8 lights.
Took some time, but i got it in a few weeks.
Packaging/appearance

If i had to spend my money though, i’d buy a different brand for half the price of this one.
The different colors war brighter than cheaper competitors products.
The only problem is they blink periodically compared to their incandescent counterparts.

With the bulb shape being so oddly shaped i didnt think it would put out that much light but much to my suprise it did and it has been working amaingly so far

These have a slight flicker when dimmed unlike my other hue bulbs probably due to the small size of them limiting space for the necessary electronics

For all those writing these don’t work with apple homekit you need to read the details further down and review the chart to see that you need the hue bridge for homekit compatibility
