FAQs

What are the differences between White, White ambiance, and White and color ambiance Philips Hue bulbs?

Philips Hue smart bulbs come in three different color ranges: White, White ambiance, and White and color ambiance. White bulbs have dimmable, warm white light. White ambiance bulbs have 50,000 shades of dimmable, warm-to-cool white light. White and color ambiance bulbs have 16 million shades of dimmable, warm-to-cool white and color light.
Do Philips Hue bulbs work with normal lamps and fixtures?

Yes. Philips Hue smart LED bulbs come in various standard fittings and sizes, meaning they fit into most traditional lamps and fixtures.
What is the range of a Hue Bridge-controlled Philips Hue setup?

Philips Hue lights create a mesh network in order to talk to the Hue Bridge. Picture each light as a stepping-stone: at least one bulb needs to be within 10 meters (32 feet) of the Hue Bridge, the next bulb should be within 10 meters (32 feet) of the first, and so on. As long as each stepping-stone is close enough to the next, you’ll be able to control the lights in and around your home.
How do I know if I can use a spotlight with my transformer?

If you have MR16 bulbs, they may need a transformer. Read the list of compatible transformers for Philips Hue MR16 bulbs.
What is the range of a Bluetooth-controlled Philips Hue setup?

You need to be within Bluetooth range — about nine meters (30 feet) — in order to use Bluetooth-controlled Philips Hue lights.

It’s not Ketra in a few ways, but very happy! I did extensive research into lighting of my newly remodeled kitchen, hall and family room. I became a certified installer of the Lutron RA and Ketra system. After all of that, I still chose Philips Hue with their hub. I am very happy with the performance and compare $50+/- per light compared to mid $300 per light then add they thread into a normal socket not special low voltage wiring that would force you to use Lutron wiring or rewire the entire project. Are they as good as the Ketra, no, but! Very, very close! And in the price point most can afford. Bought from my local hardware store and I am very happy!!
Work great, but some difficulty adding them to hub

I already had some of the MR16 bulbs in use and this purchase was to add more to existing landscape spot lights. For some unknown reason, I had difficulty adding some of the bulbs to my Hue Pro Hub. After several tries, I was finally able to add them all. If not for that, I would have rated them 5 stars.
11-days to ship. Dreadful return process.

In the checkout process it was communicated shipping would take 2-4 business days. It took 11 days for the product to arrive rendering them useless as they were meant to be a gift. The return process was absolutely awful. Hard to believe such a clunky process exists in 2022.
Nice, but not very bright

Seem to be fairly nice quality lights, but I'm not sure I believe the advertised lumens. I had a standard 60W bulb in prior to these and they seemed at least a little bit brighter. I really wish hue had a way to provide brighter e12 bulbs for ceiling fans.

We now have 21 Hue bulbs throughout the house, these latest replacing a fan light with a halogen bulb that burned hot, and burned out quickly. We now have a brighter space with more control over the color temperature and no added heat from the lamp.
Great alternative to trim lights

Purchased these in lieu of trim lights. I prefer the look of trim lights, but we had no choice and were pleasantly surprised with how bright the lights are and the fun color options. Very happy with the purchase.
2-pack bulbs work great!

Works well, setup is super easy. Only complaint is the the brightness. Would love to see these offered in a 60 or 75watt equivalent someday.

The lights are great but make sure you completely understand the additional functionality of the hub vs. bluetooth only.
