Philips Hue Starter A19 Starter Kit + Light Strip Bundle

Very cool - so many customizations

These light bulbs are just cool. Up front, it's a high barrier to entry ($220 at the time of this writing), but it's mostly the initial setup with the bridge, and then the individual bulbs aren't bad, considering they'll probably last a very long time. Where do I start? What I love, is that you can program them in the app to do almost anything you want - schedules, routines, themes, group behavior, individual bulb behavior in the same fixture, strobe to music (haven't tried that one yet, but s...

Great way to add smart lighting to your home!

Adding smart lights your your home is a great way to add personalization and convenience to your life. This Philips Hue Starter Kit Matter that comes with 4 smart bulb has everything you need to get started. It comes well packaged safely securing the bridge and the bulbs. One of my favorite features of this product and a must for me is for it to be matter compatible which allows you to control the lights from the smart home eco system of your choice. For me I like to be able to control my smart ...

Smart lighting you’ll enjoy!

The Philips Hues Matter Starters kit is a great way to light up your family room, dining room for playing games, eating dinner, bed room for special lighting to wake up and go to sleep. I installed these in our dining room. It made an astonishing difference immediately! I should have taken a before and after picture. You can download the app on your phone. And turn your lights on and off by the phone app. You can change the color of the lights. These smart bulbs are pretty cool and I ha...

Endless options with this light kit!

Pretty neat product with a lot of applications. I have been working on networking our house and creating a "home theatre" in the basement. Still in the beginning stages but this is definitely the solution I need for the lighting! The Hue Bridge needs to live with wherever your internet home base is, it comes with the power cord you need as well as a Cat6 cable to connect the Bridge directly to your router or patch panel. This allows you to link it directly to the app on your phone, as well as ut...

Hue bulbs work well with the app+voice assistants

I love living in a smart home, but I don't have any previous experience with Philips Hue, and jumped at the chance to try out these color-changing bulbs to see how easy they are to set up and how well they perform. The bulbs have standard E26 bases (pretty much what every normal light bulb has) and can be remotely set to just about any color or color temperature and brightness and remember the setting if they're turned off and on by a wall switch. The "filaments" aren't visible and they are not...

A good product - just not for me

This review is for the Phillips HUE Value Pack (Starter Kit). I have to say it is not for me or my home setup. I think it is a fine product just not for me. On the good side: It comes with a Hue Bridge (puck), a power cord, a router connector, and four light bulbs. You must use the provided QR Code or go to the support website to get setup directions for your specific product. The directions on the website are excellent. It is very easy to set the kit up and set the links to each of the p...

Transform your space from functional to funky!

I love this Phillips Hue Bridge and Bulb kit! Via the Hue app, you can chose from a wide selection of "scenes" to style your space. You can even add bulbs to this kit to expand your "scene" We selected 10 scenes, but you can choose more. You can use this kit with medium bulb base sized fixtures. The Hue bulbs are: not intended for use in fully enclosed fixtures, not to be directly exposed to water, and operated in temperatures between -4°F to 113°F. My 2 favorite scenes are the bold Tokyo an...

Philips Hue Starter Kit – More Than I Expected

i originally picked up the Philips Hue Starter Kit with one simple goal in mind — to have automatic dimming lights that would adjust in the evenings without me lifting a finger. And yes, it absolutely nails that. The dimming is smooth, natural, and makes winding down at night feel effortless. But what really surprised me is just how much more this system can do. The color customization is incredible — I can shift from a warm, cozy glow for movie nights to bright, energizing daylight tones for w...

These bulbs quickly change your space, easy to use

I installed these lights in my dining room, and they allow remarkable diversity in lighting depending on the occasion. While I usually see Philips Hue advertised for modern tech spaces—near televisions or gaming setups—I found them surprisingly ideal for tech-free areas focused on meals and entertaining guests at home. For formal settings, the lighting can be adjusted to accent the color of food—which is quite an interesting effect. For less formal or more romantic settings, it adjusts easily an...

Easy to use and makes you feel super cool

What a great way to light up your family room and lower level. We installed this in our lower level and all you have to do is plug in the little controller. Then you just link the router to the light bulbs. The little device you plug in allows the lights to speak to the app. You can change the colors etc. You can sign the lights in and assign them to multiple groups depending on what you want to turn on. Then they can be turned on and off by times or set schedules or by just going in the ...
