Review: Wow, what a product!! I have spent an ungodly amount on Phillips hue products and now have my four bedroom house fully upgraded to smart lighting. I have 45 bulbs and 16 accessories set up and the results are incredible; if you are even the slightest bit tempted to start upgrading your lighting then just do it!! The setup I have gone for is a fully automated lighting system in every single room which is easily achieved with the motion sensors. The additional formulas Phillips produce via hue labs in the app have made my system flawless. I’m going to list my set up as I wasn’t sure what I needed when I started! Downstairs Bathrooms - Simply purchase the plain white bulbs to keep the costs down and a motion sensor per bathroom. You can set the lights to turn on when you walk in and automatically turn of a minute after you’ve left. Ideal for a room you tend to dart in and out off. The plain white bulbs are so cheap now and they give off very very good quality light. Bedrooms - All of my bedrooms feature a 2m LightStrip behind the headboard which emits the most incredible ambient glow around the headboard and out from underneath the bed. I have these on a motion sensor to again turn on and off as I enter and exit the room. At nighttime they automatically turn on to a very dim nightlight that turns off after one minute; that doesn’t wake my partner so no more fumbling with a phone torch. The sensor is angled away from the bed so it doesn’t turn on when tossing and turning or other things.... In frequently used bedrooms I also have Lightstrips behind the dressing tables and the odd lamp, the ambiance is mesmerising and the options for scenes mind boggling. I have also set Alexa to dim my bedroom lights to magenta, play some smooth tunes all under the command “sexy time”. The main bedroom lights simply feature the white Phillips hue bulb, you don’t need the coloured ones in you main light they just don’t give off a very good effect compared to more ambient lighting such as lamps. Kitchen - I have a LightStrip with 6 extensions giving all of my cupboards top and bottom under counter lighting. This is bright enough to be used as the sole lighting for the room most of the time and really gives the kitchen a modern edge! I also have two colour GU10 bulbs under the cooker hood and three colour screw bulbs in my main lights. As with the other rooms everything comes on and off automatically with a motion sensor. This is my favourite room to play with scenes! You can purchase an aftermarket 3m extension cable for the strip lights which is vital to place them under the various counters and cupboards. Landing and En-Suites - The upstairs bathrooms and landing lights I have the white dimmer bulbs installed along with the motion sensors. The main reason for this is so that at nighttime the bathroom and landing lights can mirror the soft nightlight that comes on in my bedroom so that the whole house doesn’t wake up! We all have different schedules at home so this is incredibly useful. I also have a couple of rice paper lamps; cheap ikea Holmo lamps with colour hue bulbs installed. These help continue the ambiance throughout the house and give off a lovely softly diffused light. Living Room - This is where I’ve gone all out! I have a light strip behind the TV providing the back lighting. I also have a Light strip behind my drinks cabinet and the bottles also help diffuse the light further and the effect is breathtaking!! I also have 3 rice paper lamps around the room and everything, whilst put together using hue sync to watch a film is amazing! Such an immersive experience. I actually save money, my existing light fittings in the living room consist of 16 light bulbs and now they never need to be used. Office - The office is simpler; one light strip behind each desk and a Phillips colour hue bulb in the main light fitting. I also have one white ambiance bulb in my desk lamp and setting this all to the scene “concentrate” really helps you crack out the desk work. Older & non technical people - Of-course everyone isn’t as tech friendly as myself and it would be a nightmare having to use my phone to alter every light as and when! The motion sensors automate everything but I also have installed 4 “kill switches” around the house. These are the Phillips hue dimmers and the benefit of having these is so that my elderly father can easily turn the lights of without waiting for the motion sensors time delay to kick in. It also gives him the reassurance that he can control the lighting at will. Chandeliers - It would be crazy to install 60 hue bulbs to fill my chandeliers.... Instead as mentioned before I have placed rice paper lamps and Lightstrips in these rooms and it is more then ample and more energy efficient! Any questions about this system please ask I am happy to help. The system is almost instantaneous and has worked flawlessly. The only issue I have had with all the products I have is a light strip power supply plug failing but Phillips are picking this up to replace it, no hassle at all.

Review: I have been slowly converting all our lights, indoor and outdoor to Philips Hue, recently purchased lots of patio Lilly Lights, outdoor strip lights and have mainly white or warm white indoors. This was the first colour bulb I have bought for indoor use. Installation took all of 60 seconds, then I opened my app and had a quick fiddle. I bought this as we have recently decorated our kids bedroom so wanted something a little funky for them. It works a treat, my only criticism would be the white, is bright enough to use it as a single bulb, however when you start messing with the colours, it creates a great ambience but not practical as a main bulb. Fortunately we have some strip lighting in their room as well as a bedside lamp so I think for the position it will do the job just fine.
