What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Philips hue white filament bulb is the last filament bulb you'll ever need. The bulb is modest in the sense that it doesn't appear too tech-forward. They look great in the 8-light bar fixture i bought for my office.
These were a breeze to set up with my existing hue bridge. They use zigbee, so with the echo gen 4, they don't need a hub or app or anything. Controllable through hue app and google home.
Leds are in the shape of an incandescent filament coil, and give off a soft, yellow, warm glow. The light is gorgeously warm - sometimes i mistake it out of the corner of my eye for candlelight.
Philips has the market cornered a bit, and that's reflected in the pricing. They look good, and they're well built. They have a vintage look.
Cons
It blinks and does not dim. Random full brightness. Giving the bulb a rest seems to let it recover, but it resumes flashing after being on for a few minutes.
They are beautiful but rendered useless at white light with a green tint. They emit a disturbing color of orange.

They'll be brightest, about 550 lumens, at 2700k.

For a regular table lamp or fixture where the bulbs point down this isnt that big a deal

So think carefully about where you are planning to put these and whether they will work in your application they arent going to be quite as universal as the bulbs they are replacing most likely
