Philips Hue A19 LED Smart Light Bulb – White and Color Ambiance – 60W Indoor Light Bulb – Control with Hue App – Works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Homekit – 3 Pack

Some Of The Best Smart Bulbs On The Market!
Ever since I went to a large electronics retail store near me to get something totally different than these bulbs and saw the Philips Hue demonstrated in concert with what I was looking for, I was hooked on them. I have them throughout my home and have them in my office at work. I have about 30 of them in my house and 10 of them in my office. To say the least, I am more than satisfied with the Philips Hue products.Now the review…Philips have been making bulbs for many years and then when they broke into the industry of smart wifi bulbs, they became quite the hit. Pair the hue bulbs with the Hue Bridge and the app, one’s creative side can really shine.The Build Quality.These bulbs have a little heft to them whereas there is a lot of technology that needs to be crammed into a space the size … well the size of a light bulb. The build quality in my opinion is pretty solid and done well. The illumination part diffuses the LEDs used in these bulbs are very smooth and do not see any hot spots whatsoever from the LEDS inside. The colors produced from the RGB LEDS are pretty rich and vibrant but as in every RGB style bulb, the light output will vary from color to color and different white temperatures. Case in point. If you choose the bulbs to light up in blue, the overall Lumens factor will be less than if you choose to use Yellow or other bright colors of the spectrum. But if you go with the white ambiance aspect, the whites will pretty much be equal in Lumens factor from the lower temperature like 2700K to the higher temperatures like 6500k.Features.These bulbs are full of them when you connect them with the Hue bridge. You can have them turn on and off with the use of Google Home, Assistant or Alexa. You can turn them on or off with the use of the user-friendly app and even turn them on or off when you are out and about as long as you have the app connected to the cloud server set up within your smart home. You can set up various different scenes as long as you have multiple Hue Bulbs. Scenes really don’t look great or seems simplistic if you have just one bulb. To get the best results, I recommend 5 or more of the Hue Bulbs in a room to get the different color scenes to show off well. (Refer to the bedroom pic I posted with this review.)The latest versions of the Hue Bulbs can be operated via Bluetooth on the dedicated Bluetooth version of the Hue app. So, with bulbs having the Bluetooth technology, you do not need to have the Hue Bridge. The downside to that is you will not be able to set up multiple rooms and you can only control 10 Hue Bulbs via Bluetooth vs. up to 50 Hue Bulbs with using the Hue Bridge.If there is anything that would be considered a downfall to these bulbs, is they are a bit on the pricy side. I have a few thousand dollars invested in my Hue Echo System and love everything about these bulbs. That would be the only flaw I can find with them.The Recap.These are some of the top of the line of smart bulbs. Can you find cheaper bulbs as far as costs is concerned? Yes, you can. But the saying goes, “You get what you pay for.” And that holds true with these bulbs. If you are willing to invest into the Hue System, you won’t be disappointed.

Does not work with Alexa. Please read.
I can’t say enough how much I can’t stand Alexa with smart lights. It is honestly the worst “smart” anything I have ever used. Alexa can control smart lights like an infant can control their bowel movements.I have tried multiple companies, multiples lights, wyze, Phillips, Sengled and after 6 months of Alexa losing connectivity and constantly have to reset, re-pair, reboot wifi, reboot Alexa, reboot life, I finally found the issue.It is ALEXA!!Alexa is an awful, absolutely awful way to make your home “smart”.I’ll give you an example. When I finally got my fill of “cheap” lights like Sengled, I decided to try the higher priced lights, Phillips in this case.Highly rated, great lights. “Work with Alexa only, no hub needed!”.Sounds to good to be true? Yes! Because it is!I added all my Phillips lights, everything was perfect. All my routines for sunset and sunrise were working.It was as great as the Sengled lights were, for about 1 week. THEN, just like with any smart light you will pair with Alexa, connectivity is lost. ALWAYS, LOST. ALWAYS!No matter what you do. Lost.Sent Amazon customer support a message. No help.Sent Phillips a message, they said the issue was with Alexa. Same as Sengled said!!I immediately returned the Phillips lights and then what happens. When you add ANY Phillips light to Alexa, it will stay with you until you die.I tried to delete the lights from Phillips. They said the issue is with Alexa. I contacted Amazon. They said the issue is with Phillips!!!So now, EVERY TIME I add ONE smart light, ALL EIGHT of the old Phillips lights try to re add AGAIN!So instead of one device being added, it’s NINE LIGHTS. I have to delete any time I change anything on Alexa. ANY DANG TIME.If I lose connective and fix it, 9 lights.If I have to add them again, 9 lights.So if you want to purchase a smart lighting system, stay AWAY from Sengled and stay AWAY from ALEXA.Alexa is good at telling you the time. Not making your house “smart”. It will surely make your house “dumb” though.

Funciona perfecto con mi puente hub no hubo problema por ser importados. La luz es de un solo tono cálido, tiene muy buen brillo pero la notó un poco pasada de amarilla.Se instalan como cualquier otro foco, si tienes la aplicación de Philips la configuras con todas las funciones muy rápido.
