Philips Hue White Smart Candle Bulb Twin Pack LED [E14 Small Edison Screw] with Bluetooth, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant 60w Equivalent

works well as expected ..... Phillips products are a tad more expensive as compared to several other brands available ... but its product quality is also much much better.

Tried manybsmart home system phillips hue is one of the most well rounded product for small home/aparmtnet automation

Good product

I was put off ordering by reviews saying buyers had received two bulbs about 5/6w. I asked a question about this but due to lack of answers in the first couple of days I went ahead and ordered anyway on the basis that I could send them back if not as described.I received 2 bulbs each stamped 806 lumen, A60 9w, 80mA 2700k.This is not the 10w claimed in the specification panel but these 9w bulbs are much brighter than the 11w bent tube eco bulbs they were replacing. The replaced bulbs were about 3/4 years old and I understand the older tube eco lights do deteriorate after time but I’ve always hated the miserable dull yellowish light they give off so replacing the bulbs was a priority when I bought the house a few weeks ago.LUMENSI have read articles saying we should be judging eco bulbs on the lumens and not the wattage. But even then it’s not that simple as you have to look at “useful lumens”. Lumens are a measure of all the light a bulb emits including to the sides and on to the ceiling. The shape of this bulb probably increases the useful lumens by directing the light down and less to the sides and above. They seem better than the older shape.Regardless of technical complications these give an extremely good clear light to my rooms and I am more than happy with them.If you are replacing older bent tube 11w bulbs you are going to be very pleased with them.Further reading https://integral-led.com/education/what-are-lumensI have a Hue hub and have not tried controlling them direct from Alexa.COLOUR TEMPERATUREThe 2700k is a measure on the kelvin scale of the warmth or coolness of the light emitted. You can find charts of various k ratings for light bulbs. Those older tube eco bulbs must have bern really low on the scale. I have always hated the miserable depressing yellow light they gave off. Perhaps they have improved over time but I still disliked the light of the ones in my new house which is only 3/4 years old.I have previously tried bulbs with bright white cornrow LEDs but the harsh blue light they gave was just as awful in the opposite direction. These bulbs seem a good compromise. I do prefer a clear white light in the kitchen and had LAP white spots in the kitchen of my last house. Replacing the kitchen lighting is my next task in my new house.In the past I did try bright white spots in the guest bathroom and guests really hated them. Horses for courses!

Great. Make sure you have a Gen3 dot or a gen2 echo and above and they will run out of the box on their own. Plug them in the socket, switch on the light switch. Pop over to your Alexa app, there they are. Less than 30 second set up. Its literally like changing a bulb. A nice warm yellow white light. Same as a normal bulb colour. Not a white whiteYou can name bulbs individually, I have Sharron and Keith. I can tell Alexa to turn on Sharron and Keith to turn down. Go well with my plug (Balthazar)Happy days! My life is easier, and you should buy them too...Have you bought them yet?They are in your basket you say?You should click buy now!

Fantastic lights that work very well as described. They connect straight away to any Bluetooth phone.Please note you don’t get any of the automation features unless you hook them up to a Hue Bridge.Also they are simple bulbs. Even with a Hue Bridge you cannot change the “whiteness” of the bulb If that makes sense.I’d suggest for anyone dipping their toe into smart bulbs to go for the hue bridge pack. The lights that come with it contain more features.

Die Hue warmweiß dimmbar ist auch auf 1% sehr hell. Bis etwa 40% ändert sich der Wert dann nicht weiter.Ihre Helligkeit bei 100% ist im Gegensatz zur Hue Color einwandfrei.Leider leuchtet die Hue auch wenn sie über die App abgeschaltet ist. Im Schlafzimmer war es nur dunkel wenn der Strom aus war. Dies ist jedoch nicht zielführend für eine Smarthome Lampe.Für mich nicht nutzbar und geht zurück.

Kann dieses Produkt nicht empfehlen. Lampen kauft man weil sie leuchten sollen, das tun sie, deswegen geht es hier auch nur um die SmartHome Funktionalität. Dieses Produkt ist einfach nicht zu ende gedacht. Ständig disconnecten die Lampen, sind weder per Echo noch via App steuer- oder ansprechbar. Ein Reset der Lampe ist die einzige Möglichkeit die Lampe wieder mit SmartHome Geräten zu verbinden. Mir ist dies in den letzten 4 Wochen 3 Mal passiert. Und sorry, aber das darf nicht sein. Ich kann dieses „Flur Lampe antwortet nicht, bitte überprüfen die Netzwerkverbindung und Stromversorgung des Gerätes“ nicht mehr hören. Heute morgen haben sich wieder sämtliche Lampen im Haus disconnected. Wenn ich jetzt alle wieder reseten und neu einrichten würde, kostete es mich locker 30 min.Weiterer Minuspunkt, was in meinen Augen gar nicht sein darf. Die Lampen sind nicht ganz aus, wenn man sie über Echo bzw. App ausschaltet. Im Schlafzimmer gut zu erkennen, wenn es komplett dunkel ist. Die Lampe leuchtet noch weiterhin minimal. Wenn ich eine Lampe ausschalten möchte, dann soll sie komplett aus sein!
