The price is the only drawback, but bundled as two (and even better, the three-bulb package), they are less apt to provoke sticker shock. The touted lifespan of approximately 20 years, if that holds up, also diminishes the jolt of the price. It's likely that advancing technology will make the bulb obsolescent before it burns out. The performance is reliable with warm white light (no color changing with these bulbs) that can be dimmed down, brightened up, and turned on and off, either via Alexa or Apple Homekit (i.e. Siri). The bulbs are instantly responsive to such commands. Both the Hue app itself (for iOS) and Homekit allow for routines that customize brightness for entire rooms as well as individual lights. You should note that these bulbs require the Philips Hue hub, which connects with your iOS device and to Alexa. Setup is easy, and so far none of the bulbs has dropped a connection or required additional attention.
