The Hue bulbs are more expensive than the bargain brands and I wondered why until I began researching them. Philips uses Zigbee radios in their bulbs and bridges which increases the cost significantly. And after holding one of the bulbs in my hand I could actually feel the difference in quality compared to the other bulbs that I own (Fovaa). Until I actually put these bulbs into service I can't comment on their function, but I expect to be very satisfied with them. My Fovaa bulbs work very well, although when set to blue or green they are not as bright as I think they should be. I am expecting much better brightness with the Hue bulbs. I have read that Wyze makes some really good bulbs in terms of color output that rival the Hue bulbs. Still, the Hue bulbs are constructed differently and are able to do some things that the others evidently cannot do. Once I have these lights going and I have a chance to put them through their paces I will report back with some updates. I'm anxious to try a simulated fireworks display and am hoping that four bulbs are enough to do it. Some of the scenes and animations require more than four bulbs to get the color mixtures right, but I think that a fireworks display could be done using white plus three other colors. At least a small fireworks display. I'll let you know when I have tried it.
Edit 2-12-2024
OK, I have the lights up and running and I can give you a little more insight now. First of all, if you look at the many photos of Hue lights you will know exactly what to expect in terms of color. These bulbs have colors that are full and rich yet are mellowed a bit as they are made to provide ambience to a space instead of producing stark coloring. You can get very deep blues, greens, and reds, and still have good brightness. A word that comes to mind is pastel, and yet the colors can be much deeper than pastel; in fact, the room color can become very red, very blue, very green, and yet still maintain some small bit of pastel quality. Again, I'd say look at a lot of the available pictures and you will know. In contrast to this, my Fovaa bulbs give very dark blues, reds, greens with no mellowing at all. There is no way to brighten the Fovaa bulbs when those colors are cranked to the maximum and maybe that is as it should be. Then again, I have read articles that claim Wyze bulbs have more intense colors than Fovaa bulbs (in fact they are ranked close to the top of all bulbs in that category) and also have more brightness; so it may be more a matter of design. If you want absolute, saturated, bright colors with no compromise you might want to try the Wyze bulbs; however, if you want lights that are tailor made for enhancing the atmosphere of your living spaces I can't imagine a better choice than Hue lights. I want to reiterate here just how good the bulbs feel in the hand, and after screwing them in and setting them up how good they look in action. Something else to touch on is that there are numerous apps available in addition to the official Hue app that can add to the functions your Hue lights can perform. The fireworks display I referred to above is in one of those apps: the app is called "hueDynamic" and the fireworks is under the Experiences heading. The fireworks display cycles your bulb colors mimicking real fireworks. The colors ramp on and off at speeds that seem realistic and your room is bathed in a frenzied display of light. Now that I have tried it I probably won't ever use it again, but hey, these lights can do that! Some other, more restful effects on the menu are flickering candles and a fireplace. If I actually had a fireplace I could see myself using that to enhance the natural flicker of flames. The candles...maybe I will use that one, maybe not. The animations can actually be rather distracting. The ambience settings are probably the most useful, but I should tell you that it is better to have the bulbs located next to walls so that the reflected light can add to the overall effect. I have mine temporarily in a ceiling fan in the middle of the living room and looking up at the light you can see all four bulbs with different colors and it doesn't look so good. Eventually they will be relocated to individual lamps around the room where they should provide a much better experience.
If you buy any bulbs other than Hue bulbs you will be tied to one single app: the official app from the manufacturer of the bulbs. Or you may be limited to tying in to Alexa and the set of skills available because your choice of bulbs doesn't even have an app. With Hue bulbs you have many choices of apps, and you will find that Hue apps, even the third party apps, have a level of professionalism not found in apps for other bulbs. Yes, Hue bulbs cost more...but you will get what you paid for. Top quality, great looking light, an almost endless list of ways to use them; Hue bulbs are probably the very best you can buy.
This is actually my second shipment of the same product, because the wall plug was bent on the first one. Amazon sent me a new one, and it works like a dream.
Let me start by saying I put these lights in my bedroom and bathroom. My bathroom has a slot for four lights, but I only put two in. I had been using the type of lights that get really hot, which isn’t what you want when you like to take hot showers. Plus, they never got that bright, so really, what’s the point? I figured using two in my bathroom would probably be equivalent to the amount of light I was already getting, so I went for it. You know those really nice, well lit bathrooms in magazines? They must have been using Hue lights, because just two lights on the “energize” setting can illuminate the furthest corner. Man, I need to clean now!
My bedroom lights are the “fun” lights. I’ve been playing with the dimmer and colors for the past day. You can make both bulbs the same color, or you can make each a different color. If you can imagine it, Hue can do it. I’ve only scratched the surface of what they can do.
I don’t integrate my smart devices with Alexa, even though I have two Echos. I do it through the HomeKit app on my iPhone, so I can’t speak for how it works with Alexa, but Siri does a pretty good job. The only thing that’s bothersome is I keep wanting to flip the light switch! I’ll have to get one of the Hue dimmers at some point.
If you’re looking to put a little pizzazz in your home, I’d definitely recommend getting this kit and trying it out. The bulbs are expensive, so it’ll be a gradual integration. Pick a room or two you spend most of your time in, and screw these bad boys in and have some fun!

Desde que instalé estas luces en mi casa, la vida cotidiana se ha vuelto un espectáculo de luces digno de un show de Broadway. No importa si estoy en una reunión de trabajo virtual o en una cita en casa, puedo ajustar la iluminación para que se adapte a cualquier ocasión.
La instalación es tan fácil que incluso mi gato podría hacerlo (si tan solo tuviera pulgares). Atornillé las bombillas, conecté el puente y, voilà, mi hogar se convirtió en una paleta de colores digital. Cambiar la luz es tan sencillo como tocar una aplicación en mi teléfono.
El poder de las Phillips Hue Multicolor reside en su versatilidad. ¿Quiero una luz brillante y fresca para trabajar desde casa? ¡Listo! ¿Quiero una luz suave y cálida para una cena romántica? ¡No hay problema! ¿Quiero que la habitación se convierta en una discoteca para una fiesta en casa? ¡Por supuesto, y que comience la música!
La integración con asistentes de voz es como tener un mágico genio digital en casa. "Hey, Google, pon la luz en modo 'Atardecer en la Playa'", y la habitación se ilumina con los tonos adecuados. Es como vivir en una película de ciencia ficción (pero con menos robots rebeldes).
En resumen, las Phillips Hue Multicolor son un toque de magia moderna en mi hogar. Hacen que cada día sea un festival de colores y diversión. ¡Nunca supe que necesitaba luces de humor hasta que las tuve! 🏠🌈💡😄
Son de fácil instalación, tanto el software como los focos.
Se necesita una conexión de wifi y la app del celular. En verdad son una maravilla porque tiene una gama amplia de colores y se ven hermosos. Tienen luz blanca y cálida.
Las funciones que ofrece la app son muy funcionales, como encenderse o apagarse según se programa, regular la intensidad de la luz en cada foco o simultáneamente, encender sin estar en el hogar, configurar un tipo e intensidad de luz en caso de apagón o si se de conecta y al encenderse nuevamente iluminarse como se programó, crear ambientes o escenas con combinaciones de luz y guardarlas, o iluminarse como despertador por la mañana, así como atenuarse o incrementarse en tiempos definidos,
etc..
Altamente recomendable los productos de Philips.
Ademas de poder crear rutinas y automatizaciones. Excelente producto!
Sin embargo, vaya sorpresa me llevé al instalar estos focos ! La calidad es impresionante. No tienen el mayor brillo, pero es suficiente para una habitación con techo de 3.5 metros. Y los efectos que se pueden lograr son simplemente sorprendentes.
La aplicación es muy amigable y con la última actualización se cuenta con un gran número de efectos. Cada uno hara que se sumerjan en estados de ánimo, completamente diferentes. Desde concentración hasta un estado relajado con luces de colores.
Los focos se pueden usar directo por Bluetooth, pero el hub facilita mucho la inclusión de nuevos focos y también su integración con un dispositivo Alexa u otros del mismo tipo.
Sólo tengo elogios para estos focos y definitivamente estoy más que contento con mi compra.
