I've bought a couple of smart bulbs on Amazon before - all Chinese brands or something. They all connected fine to my Virgin Media WiFi network, but it was quite a palaver as the setup process for those bulbs often involved turning the bulb on and off for a number of times, having to count the number of seconds they were on and off, using the app to try and search for the bulbs on the network. By the time all that's done, it took about 10 minutes.This Philips smart bulb however, is the most user-friendly and easiest to setup. All I had to do was download the Philips Hue Bluetooth app on Google Play, install it, and load the app on my phone. Within seconds, it found my bulb on the network and connected straight away.

I've covered a few of the hue devices in my reviews. There's three basic types, 'white', 'white ambience' and 'white and colour ambience'. If it has a slightly different name it will be an older or newer version of one of these. All the bulbs 'dim' and there's some helpful presets in the Hue app like nightlight, etc. It's handy if you have a light in a child's room that you want to turn off at a set time, or turn off remotely. This is the simplest of the Hue bulbs and you could get away with the bluetooth only option with these. You can also purchase a dimming lightswitch for about 15 pounds. How do they compare to the wi-fi based or zigbee based competitors? When it's just a pure straightforward warm wight,

So I firstly went for the no branded multicoloured wifi bulbs. After 3.5 hours of trying to set them up, I sent them back and gave up. Then I saw these and thought I'd try a couple. And now I have 10 of them. Important things to know, these are white only. They won't change colour and they won't change temperature. They seem to have about 10 brightness settings 10%-100% (and off of course).Also worth noting, these are Bluetooth, not wifi. So they don't have to be close to your router and when your internet or wifi goes down, you can still turn your lights on.To install, you just screw the bulb in, I didn't use the Philips app, I just added a light through the Alexa app.

Philips started making smart lighting long before most of its competitors. This is reflected in the quality and multi-compatibility of the Hue range. These dimmable white bulbs have an E14 screw fitting. Built-in bluetooth means they can be controlled from a mobile device using the Hue Bluetooth app. They're also compatible with Apple Watch, IFTTT, SmartThings, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and many other apps and platforms. Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa allow users to control the lights with their voice (even without Philips Hue Bridge). The Hue Bridge (which doesn't come with these bulbs) opens up a host of other functionality such as creating timed routines for the smart lights.

Screw light bulbs, put these in our lamps and they work fine. We downloaded the free app and it was so simple to set up. The bulbs are nice and bright. Pleased with these overall as they work well and are super easy to set up. Even if your not really tech savvy.Some may see this as lazy rather than just getting up and manually switching lamps on/off but these are ideal for people like myself, with mobility problems who struggle to get around. This gives an added bit of independence without having to ask someone else to do it for you. All you need is a smart phone with bluetooth capability and your good to go.

Who knew we would live in a time where a computer that controlled our home music, time ect could also control the lighting through communicating with the light bulb?!!!! Its superb! If you have Alexa it is super easy to pair them up and have Alexa turn your lights on and off! Truly a brilliant addition to our home and we really enjoy these! Well worth the price, especially if you are piling into your home after a long day, in the dark with arms full of shopping to be put down...just tell Alexa and Voila, with these light bulbs you have instant light...no more fumbling in the dark for switches. Or you can even turn your lights on through Alexa when away from your home...even smarter!

I already have several other Hue and other smart home products. This is another good addition to the family, replacing the bulb in my bedside lamp which frees up the smart plug that it was plugged into for something else. Just as always, I had zero trouble setting up the bulb with both the Hue app and the Alexa app, and was able to control the bulb within mere minutes of opening. Although I don't use it as I have a hub, I also appreciate the fact that they have made it so the bulb can be controlled with Bluetooth if you just want a simple remote controlled light. Admittedly a slightly more premium price compared to other cheaper "smart" bulbs, but the quality can't be denied.

I bought this for my lovely desk lamp, so I could run it with Alexa. Works like a charm. I've had it for over a year, no problems. I have another smart lamp (non-PhilipsHue) which I pair this with, also works really well.It's a sturdy, well-built lightbulb, easy to use and control with both Alexa and the app and most importantly long-lasting.They are a bit on the pricier side, but I think they are worthwhile and I see it rather as a long term investment. If you can get them on sale it's a treat. Also I think it's slightly wider than a traditional candle style bulb.I'm planning to buy my own home soon so looking forward to changing all my bulbs to Hue.

I'm trying to get more into tech, and needed a new bulb for one of my table lamps, so I thught I'd get "with it" and try these.I have Alexa, and also downloaded the app, and they are simple to control using the app or by voice via Alexa.The lamps don't have a dimming feature, so it was nice to be able to add that via the bulbs. However I'm not convinced they are worth the priced (£22.99) for a pack of two - for me anyway. Maybe next time I will adventurous and get bulbs that not only dim but change colour. Paying this much for white bulbs, even with the app and the dimmer functions, seems a bit much.But - they are pricey, and I'm not

A dawdle. Bought for a lamp with light up base and top. Although with normal bulbs I could switch off the top bulb and just have the base on, I couldn’t have the top bulb on and the bottom one off, which I wanted the choice to do. This fixed that and also made the base bulb dimmable, which I wanted. Turned my fab double bulb lamp into a great rather than a good one. Unplugged lamp, put in bulb and asked Alexa to find it. Powered and dimmable via echo plus zigbee in the kitchen, but operated by the echo dot in the room. No need for a hue bridge or the Bluetooth app here. Fab. I do want more. Just wish they were cheaper.

This range of smart bulbs has really grown over the years and I am not ashamed to admit I have all different types of these bulbs all over my home. Working with both Alexa and Siri, with mad-easy installation, I wouldn't use anything else. This excellent value pack of twin bulbs is no exception. The much smaller candle bulbs fit two small IKEA lamps we recently purchased and are perfect in the bedroom, giving two cheap products a fantastic upgrade. The light is bright and warm, but not glarey, and worth every penny.

These bulbs from Philips called Hue are just incredible. We needed these because we have a disabled child and needs an easy way to turn on lights and plug sockets. Plus I’m a gadget freak and a lazy person so they’re perfect for me too. They were VERY easy to set up but you need a Philips Hue ‘bridge’ to connect to all these special bulbs thru your house wirelessly. Really easy set up. Then you use an app like Apple HomeKit on iPhone or iPad to control everything. Amazing

This is the future! Have you ever imagined years ago you could switch the lights on and off with your phone?! That's really clever!You can set up the whiteness as well as switching it on and off.What you cannot do is using the phone as well as the wall switch, if you want that to work you need to leave the wall switch as it is.Quite expensive bulbs but I beg in the future will be cheaper. Now it's a new thing and not every brand does it.

If you haven't used smart bulbs before then these are a good one to start with - they;re really easy to set and use and are a great addition to a more efficient and more fun house! Downloading the app, setting it up and controlling these couldn't be easier and we've had no issues with them at all so far after a couple of weeks of having them installed. Voice control works with no issues and it's pretty good value for a double pack too.

These are really great bulbs...I have had these bulbs before, and I'm positive I never paid almost £25 for them!! I would never pay that for light bulbs, immaterial of how good they are!...Mind you I will admit that they werent "Smart" bulbs!I have tried one of these in one of the bedroom lamps....The "Alexa" bit works fine once paired...Te downside being that the power has to be left on at all times....Not a huge problem though!
