> 3 dayWe have a set of ceramic a accent lamps that have always loved, but due to the large abstract pattern, most regular bulbs were too bright and looked terrible. The lamps were hard to look at with other bulbs as they were too harsh, unless you used a very small bulb (which looked terrible) - and I was always annoyed with the rotary light switch the lamps had. I realized I needed a stylish bulb that I could easily adjust for different lighting situations, and bypass the annoying rotary switch as well. Smart bulbs were the obvious choice, but most are not very stylish and are more function over form. I did a search, and found these...and they were absolutely perfect. They give off a nice warm yellow glow (not the bright white LED nightmare some bulbs give you). We do already have a hue bridge, so its convenient that it can be added and used in scenes (I created one for the evening to adjust the brightness to a lower level and really give the bulb a nice ambiance) and with automations, I set them to come on and turn off at certain times. You can use the manual controls to set or adjust it, but it also is voice controllable with Alexa, which is great if you want to easily and quickly ask it to change to a lower or higher lighting level/percentage. This took a bit of time to work correctly via voice control for some reason, but after a day or so it fell into line and worked just like our other hue bulbs with our voice commands...so be aware the voice command feature through alexa to lower/brighten the bulb may not work right away- even if it is set up correctly through the Alexa app itself. You can also set up similar actions/automations directly through the Alexa app, but the hue app interfaces just fine in my opinion. These bulbs are a good size, being tall enough to look nice in the lamps, and are fairly stylish and easy to use and control. Definitely worth the purchase! The photos I attached show how the bulbs look really nice in the lamps, and are super easy to use. Now, if only they would launch Alexa enabled AA/AAA batteries (for string lights) and enabled button cell batteries (for candles), my living room would REALLY look amazing. Please, someone, invent tlhe dang smart batteries already!!

> 3 dayWe have a globe-type open shade and I was so tired of seeing the ugly bulb. This really made me happy to finally put in a bulb I do not mind seeing. It’s definitely stylish and functions great. We have many other hue lights (bulbs, strip & go lamp) and are very happy with the hue products. You do need the hue bridge to make any of these work with the “smart” feature (and Alexa), but once you have that you can keep adding bulbs / lights. Definitely worth buying.

> 3 dayThese lights look fantastic, when turned off. But when they’re turned on, they emit a disturbing color of orange. It’s like Halloween in my bathroom now. All the wall paint in the room looks weird under the intense orange light. It’s just awful. Let me say, that I’ve had real Edison bulbs in the past and they emit a soft warm light. I’ve seen LED Edison bulbs on display at Lowe’s and Home Depot and they all have a warm glow. This is what I expected when I bought these bulbs. After I installed them, the color was so shocking that I thought, surely there are color settings in the app so the light can be adjusted, but nope. The color of these bulbs is not soft white. It would best be described as medium orange. The orange is as intense as a Phillips Hue color changing bulbs. My wife and I tried to live with these for a week and we just could not get used to them. So, we’re sending all 8 bulbs back and instead of smart bulbs, we’re going to put in smart light switches and go with regular dumb Edison bulbs. This is a shame. Every bulb in our home is a Phillips Hue. But, these bulbs just have an unacceptable color. I don’t know what Phillips was thinking when they approved the color of the light these bulbs produce. They really could not have picked a worse color.

> 3 dayThere are an array of smart bulbs to choose from. Even narrowing it down to a smart EDISON bulb--tons to weed through. The quality, size, look and functionality of this bulb are top notch. My fixture used to have an old-school Edison bulb in it. This new bulb is far prettier. The curlicue filament is beautifully complimented by a magnified, heavy glass section at the bottom of the bulb (second picture). Full brightness is very bright (lights up the whole room) and can be adjusted as low as nightlight (full 0 to 100% scale) Highly recommended. Worth the money. QUALITY look. Great functionality. Alexa-compatible.

> 3 dayMy wife wanted vintage style bulbs for our kitchen table light and hallway lights. She looked all over to find vintage light but everything she found had very low light output. I found these and they checked all the boxes for me and wife. 1. Vintage look. 2. Dimmable 3. Controllable through Hue app 4. Controllable through Google Home 5. Easy to set up These were a breeze to set up with my existing Hue bridge. I could not be happier with this purchase. These are not cheap but are definitely worth it.

> 3 dayNot very bright, but my wife really likes them in our backyard lamps. Definitely not good if you are using them for security lights etc.

Greater than one weekOrdered an expensive bulb thats tied into my Phillips hue bridge, these are decorative Edison bulbs ,.. On the Amazon page it describes it as rated for 200,000+ hours and 20+ year lifespan? I got less than a year and a half and when I called Amazon they did not have any type of a remedy, only to tell me I needed to call the manufacture. Very disappointing customer service experience with Amazon!!, I felt it was obviously defective and that they wouldve provided me a remedy. I will not be purchasing these products again

Greater than one weekVery easy to use with the Philips Hue Bluetooth app. Very warm light that looks great and follows the Edison bulb look that I was looking for. So happy to have this bulb!
