Philips Hue White Ambiance A19 2-Pack 60W Equivalent Dimmable LED Smart Bulbs (Hue Hub Required, Works with Alexa, Apple Homekit & more), Old Version, 2 Bulbs (453092)

I Love how customizable these are! I can create a routine and won’t ever have to come home to a dark house.

I prefer the color bulbs, but these bulb are the economical choice for sure. My lamp is a floor lamp and has 2 bulbs on the top. IT is nice because I programmed it with a Hue switch and put some routines on these bulbs. With 2 bulbs you get more color variations since they dont have to be the same warmth and intensity.

Definitely worth the increase in price over the standard white bulbs. Different color temperatures of white can transform the feeling of a room and these are perfect. Will definitely be ordering more.

Great love Phillips

Love my Hue! Must have it!

It was a gift and the bulbs were appreciated. I worried that they might not be packed good enough but the bulbs were fine.

If you are new to Philips Hue, you will need a bridge to control these lightbulbs. Either the Philips Hue bridge or another smart home device that has one built in like the new Amazon Echo Plus. If you have a hub device then you are good to go! Works as expected right out of the box. Bulbs were detected in app with no issues. These were an excellent addition to a room with no installed fixtures that are controlled by a light switch. Love being able to set different tones for the level of white.

I bought one set 6 months ago and have been replacing almost every bulb in the house with them ever since. What none of these reviews seem to tell you is that you can control these bulbs without any bridge, you just have to have at least one Philips Hue Smart Dimmer Switch. The product description and instructions that come with these bulbs and/or the Dimmer Switch say that you have to have a bridge or Alexa, you do not. I have one remote per room. One remote will control multiple bulbs. There are Youtube videos with instructions on how to connect without a bridge, it is an extremely simple process - but even they do not say that while the bulb is turned on you can tap the on/power button again to change the color temp to one of the four in the product description. I found out by accident. I can only speak to specific bulb (White Ambiance). The four color temperatures are the third picture down on the manufacturers item page. You get everything from daylight to candlelight. I prefer the soft glow of the Relaxation temperature.

These lights are bright enough for your room. This is the second set of Hue lights Ive bought. The first set worked flawlessly with the Amazon Alexa Dot (Gen 3). Unfortunately this set doesnt. The only difference is the White Ambiance does not have bluetooth, so it requires the Hue Bridge. So these bulbs are just normal bulbs until I get the Hue Bridge.

I was really excited to buy these lights but have discovered that the manual switch does not override the bulbs unlike other Philips hue bulbs. If the lights are off on the app (and you turn the lights off then on again) the lights stay off (unlike the colour bulb or even the white bulb) which makes this super annoying to Have in your house without carrying your phone everywhere. Im not sure why this problem is happening... But I hope it can get fixed...
