Pros & Cons
Pros
Good quality and colour of light, brightness is excellent, not overstated. They dim well when using the app, don't put them on a dimmer switch. Used these to get a couple of wall fixtures set up with google home.
Integration between the phillips app and alexa is seamless. They connect well to wifi and integrate with alexa, so they can be voice controlled and on a schedule without a specialist hub. I have 9 of these and this was the best buy.
Cons
First time amazon have let me down like this so a real shame. Item will be returned for refund. Amazon warranty is apparently 6 months for a very expensive light bulb.
All it does is flash and stove and give me a headache. I get them working and then, the next day or the next, nothing!

So i would recommend these bulbs only if you have a particular desire to stay with the hue app and system.

Given these are 5x the price, i’d hoped they’d take some pain away.
Competitiveness
Other than that it's very reliable unlike some chinese brands.
