Philips - Hue White A19 LED Starter Kit - White

I thought I had bought a great kit of light bulbs for my new home but they turned out to be the best set of lights that I've ever had. They can be programmed to be on and Ican turn them on or off with my celphone even if I am away from home! I need to get some more for my family and friends, this kit will be the perfect Christmas present.

I have had noting but a great experience with these bulbs I love being able to just ask Alexa to turn the lights off

Good response to voice commands perfect for automatic system. Bright enough and scenes are great

I like these smart light bulb. Because you can control the ambiance from high to low and you can control them individually so that you won’t wake up your wife or husband. It’s very cool gadgets you can use a timer for the morning and night. Highly recommended.

Excellent led smart lights. It is a must have for a smart home.

These are the first Hue lights I've installed in my home. The Hue bridge was relatively easy to set up. Once set up, you can add your lights to the bridge. I'm using 3 lights in my kitchen. One over my sink and two over an island. I really like the fact that I can turn on just the sink light or the island lights. Or I can turn them all on at one time. You really do have a lot of flexibility with them. I also put one in my living room in a floor lamp. I previously had a bright white bulb and this one is more of a soft white bulb. So pay attention to the bulb type before you put it in. If you are expecting bright white, this kit isn't it. I have the Amazon Echo Dot and hooked it up to Hue and now can turn the lights on and off with the Echo. This works for me nearly all the time. Every now and then I need to repeat myself, but not very often. It is also handy to be able to dim the lights. Just tell Alexa the percentage you want and she will adjust it. So the dimmer works great too. I have not set it up yet, but I plan on setting up some timers so it turns on and off automatically. I have not had any problems with my Hue lights since I set them up a couple weeks ago and would highly recommend them.

If you're looking for a super-easy path into smart lighting for your home, this kit is it: you get a Philips Hue Bridge (which can you can add additional lights to at any time), four dimmable soft white bulbs already paired to your bridge (no setup required!), and all the cables you need to hook it into power and your home network. Sure, the really fun Hue features come when you add colored bulbs, but this kit is the practical introduction. Now you can easily add dimming where you can't (or don't want to) wire in a dimming switch, and you get the added bonus of controlling your lights with literally any of the major voice assistants or smart home hubs. The only thing I don't completely love is the Hue bridge's bright blue status LEDs, but it's easy enough to tuck it away in a cabinet or point them toward the wall.

I bought the starter kit for my parents, my Mom loved that I could turn on and off my lights while I was away from home and didn't need to buy one of those light timers that have significant limitations. So because she liked that feature so much I sprung for and bought my parents the 4 bulb starter kit. I set it up for them and got it running so they didn't have to try to figure it out, which would have just ended up being a phone call to me to set it up anyways. But set up with Philips Hue products are a breeze and all lead through the application. But since the instillation, my mom loves being able to turn on the lights before she gets into the house so she doesn't have to do the blind feel for a light switch when she is carrying stuff in from the car. And she is excited to use it when they go on vacation.
