Philips Hue 2-Pack Premium Smart Light Starter Kit, 16 million colors, for most lamps & overhead lights, Works with Alexa, Apple HomeKit and Google Assistant, Soft White

I had previous hue bulbs installed, they werent multi color, and when i switched them out for these, apparently that confused and seemingly hay wired everything, had update the bulbs software (ya...the bulbs apparently need updating), re-installed everything, and got everything working and they looks great. Giving them 4 stars bc they are expensive, on the flip side they are supposed to last a life time, if they dont ill be back to update my review. Otherwise, theyre sweet.

They can broken in the box

So my husband bought these for the express purpose of hooking them up to his computer so when he plays video games the light in the room adjusts to match the gaming action on the screen. And they do ... its amazing. While you can use them for other things, such as just having a constant color in the room, these lightbulbs and programmable hub are truly amazing and multi-use.

These lights are awesome. Wish the price wasnt so high but they do what I need and want. Going to mess with apps for timing the plight patterns next

Absolutely love the product. This is the first used product I have boughten off Amazon and it appeared as if it was new. The lights are perfect and easy to control from the app, google assistant, and alexa. I have also paired some of my rooms / scenes with a Hue Smart Switch. an easy, practical solution for rooms without light switches or ceiling lights.

I have used it for one month. It never lost the connection. I only wish it can be brighter.

I couldnt plug the unit to the wall because the part that plugs into the unit was MISSING. Theres no way to get a replacement on the defective part. Had to RETURN whole kit for refund. Am not going to the trouble to but it again, and cant buy just the part that is defective. Not happy at all.

Easy setup and worked great! My 6 year old is amazed by the various color settings and I enjoy not having to blindly find my bed in a dark room anymore! Light on, curl up in bed, grab phone and switch them off....ahhhhh!

So despite other comments I received Gen 2 bulbs with silver lettering white plastic around the bottom contact.

I bought this starter kit as a gift for my sister after becoming addicted to my own Hue lights. I was able to go through the setup with her and the whole process from start to finish was quick and easy. Hue lights are awesome, especially when you pair them with the Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. These Hue color bulbs are very bright and vibrant and fit it to any standard bulb socket. My sister and I were having fun cycling through all the colors and most were very vibrant. The only color that seemed off was purple which has more of a pink-ish hue to the color. Sorry fellow purple lovers. Setup: Setup was VERY easy. There are quick start instructions of getting the Bridge and lights plugged in, and the Hue app walks you through the rest. Make sure that you have an open ethernet port on your modem or router, the Hue Bridge needs to be hardwired into your home Internet network. The two bulbs come paired to the bridge already so you dont have to do any setup work unless you have additional Hue products to pair. Depending on your device the Hue app will also help you setup Siri or Google Assistant for voice control. Overall setup was very easy and went smoothly from start to finish. We were up and running within 5 minutes and playing with the different scenes and bulb colors. Apps: The Hue app is great to control your bulbs, but it is often easier to link to Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa for quick voice control, rather than always waiting for the app to open. Other apps can also connect to your Hue bulbs once you setup a Hue account. Downloading additional apps can let you do cool things like syncing your lights to music or use IFTTT to turn on your bulbs when different events happen like getting a phone call, if its going to snow in your area, and tons more. Make sure in the Hue app you also change the power-on behavior. For most people youll want to set them to use the last state. That makes it so your lights wont turn on at 4am when they were already off because of a power failure. Your old light switches: Speaking of power-on behavior, Hue lights may take some getting used to, especially for people who have been using switches for all their lives. For Hue bulbs to work best you need to leave them in a lamp that is ALWAYS switched on. This allows you to control them with whatever app or voice assistant whenever you want. Hue also sells a wall switch that some people might like more if they are accustomed to switches. You would still need to leave your lamp on 24/7 to allow the bulbs to power on; this is something that my parents could not get used to when using smart bulbs. Though less than ideal, if you still want to use your existing lamp switches you can also use the Hue bulbs to just turn on as the last color you set them, but you will always have to manually turn them on and cant use the app to power them on. Conclusion: Hue bulbs are an awesome way to start your smart home. They are perfect for anyone who uses light bulbs...so everyone! Its very fun to customize your Hue bulbs and find the best lighting for you based on your personality, mood, or time of day. The Hue lights are bright and reliable and Im very glad with my Hue purchases.
