Philips Hue 468942 Single Premium BR30 Smart Bulb Downlight for 5-6 inch recessed cans, 16 million colors (Hue Hub Required, Works with Alexa), Old Version, White and Color Ambiance

The cost of these things is ridiculous. For what they do, its not worth it and I felt stupid and ripped off after playing with these after a few days. Between the silly app & extra cost of the problematic hub I returned everything and went with one of bulbs from Nexlux. Does the same exact thing without the hub or massively inflated cost of the Philips bulbs. Ask yourself this, What will you do when they stop supporting the hub down the road and require you to upgrade to a different device & bulbs or some crap like that? Companies have pulled this before.... The cheaper ones have been working fine and if they stop supporting them Im only out 10 bucks per bulb as opposed to almost $45 per bulb plus the hub. No thanks Philips.

The yellow led already went out. It’s only been three weeks. Very annoying. I have other Phillips but this doesn’t work at all.

I can not get the Phillips Bridge Hub to recognize the very expensive light. I have written to Phillips and Amazon Alexa but have received no directions on how to get the two to recognize each other.

Love them. Work as expected and easy to install. I have about 40 hue lights now. Started as I only wanted them for my daughters room to scare her. Haha just make sure you have a bridge.

First of all, let me say I am a Philips Hue convert! I LOVE the color-changing possibilities! I started with a starter set of the bridge and two regular bulbs, that I put in my living room lights as a test. Since then I have extended the bulbs to my front porch, around my garage, and out into the yard. Multi-color for Christmas, pink for Valentine’s Day, green for St. Patrick’s Day, etc. The ability to “decorate” by just pulling out your smartphone is amazing! These particular bulbs are downward facing in recessed can lights on my front porch. They have been going for 5 months now, with no issues. In fact, by now one of my regular non-led bulbs would have burned out, but these are still going strong! The light is just as bright as old incandescent bulbs, but the versatility can’t be beat!

They are overpriced, IMO, but worked great to replace all of the other standard down-lights I had with ones that could turn the entire room whatever color I wanted. We have about 70 Philips Hue bulbs in our house (of different kinds) and two of them will oddly/suddenly pop on to 100% when you shut them off.

Everything about the Hue system is amazing. I’m workjng on getting my whole townhouse set up with it and I’m mostly there.

Love this

Have 16 Hue white and color ambient bulbs in house. Flood and regular. Love just walking into a room and saying A**** turn on or off the lights.

These are honestly the best!!! The brightness is amazing and they’re so easy to use. The app is user friendly and it connect so easily. I’ve changed all my lightbulbs to this!
