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

I love these in so many ways. Endless combinations, cool to the touch and look great. You should know to take your time setting them up though. Dont be in a huge rush or youll frustrate yourself. You will need the phillips bridge to operate. Just plug that into your router or modem, fire up the app and follow the instructions. I suggest going through and assigning/naming all of your lights into the groups you want before going crazy. After they are all set up start setting up scenes! I particularly like that you can use any photograph to set as a scene. The app will attempt to recreate the colors.

I’ve got the bulbs outside in some recess lights under an awning over the front porch. They add simple but effective holiday illumination to the house for virtually any time of year. They’ve been out there for roughly 2 months now without issue. Will report back in the summer of 2019 if the Texas heat gets to them.

I have changed every light in my house to a Phillips hue. So make sure you’re ready to get on this train before you buy because you will be hooked. I highly recommend using the OnSwitch app for these it’s honestly life changing. My house is now an avatar wonderland and I can transport myself at any time to a different scenery, freaking in love worth every penny. Also they are very easy to use and set up which is important because I am not technically savvy.

Hue lights in a floodlight design. Look great and gen 3 bulbs are really good.

I love these bulbs. I plan on ordering 2 more very soon. I dont have motion sensors but thats okay. I change the colors to match the seasons.

Less than a year later and it stopped workin..... only turns on randomly when turned on as a group movie lights then after anywhere from 5 to 40 minutes later it turns off again......

I gave this as a gift only to find that we have to purchase a Hue Bridge for $50 to get it to work and the bridge now has a 20% one star rating on Amazon due to such wide spread customer dissatisfaction. I am not going to throw good money after bad and suppose we will have to toss the bulb in the trash.

Have these in my living room in those rotatable recessed cans. Nice to be able to direct the light. Use it with my smart home system. Guests come over and when we sit to dine I just tell it to adjust the light to a color and brightness and it a big WOW factor.

Works as advertised

We used them as outside flood lights for a about 4 months then they got water inside the bulb and now some of them don’t work.
