Philips – Hue White Ambiance Cher Dimmable LED Smart Semi-Flushmount Light

The Hue Play Bars are expensive, yes…but they work seamlessly with the Hue bridge. Unfortunately the bridge does not come with the lights and must be purchased separately. The lights can stand alone or be attached to the back of the television with 3M adhesive. I used the adhesive which is very, very strong. Be sure about placement before committing. The lights are somewhat clunkier from what I was expecting, but the light output is excellent. I would recommend purchasing 3 lights for an all around the tv halo effect. These would make a great gift for anyone into the ambient light trend. I recommend.

Fun product but can get pricey very quick. If you have a large tv like (85″) you may want to purchase multiple sets to get the full effect. Would love is Phillips Hue offered articulating recessed ceiling lights to complete the effect.

My hue lights looked brand new and function the same. All the hardware was included and works perfect. I was skeptical at first but this is my go to place for more lighting in the future.

Works like a dream, as all Philips Hue products do. Although expensive, this is a much more reasonable price than the $129 the manufacturer charges new. I’ve bought various Hue products from several sellers, and I’ve yet to encounter a malfunctioning, unusable light — or luminaire, to use Hue’s uppity word.

I bought a 2-pack of these light bars from tech-rabbit and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I purchased these lights with the hue starter kit including a bridge and 4 color ambiance bulbs. Once I installed the bulbs and hub and found where I was going to put my play bars (back of TV), which took all of 15 minutes after I opened the boxes, they all needed software updates. No big deal I set my phone down and let it do it’s thing. I couldn’t be happier with the steal I found on the lights and how well they perform! I’ll definitely be buying more for my set up.

I stayed up until 4:30 am trying to figure out how to work this new lightbulb with my new Echo Dot 3. First, you have to ignore the directions that came with the bulb. They were useless and misleading and one of the reasons I’ve been up half the night. No, you do not need a pricey Hue hub. You don’t need the google playstore or the Apple store to download an app. You don’t need to select “Hue” from the Alexa Skills menu and you don’t need to sign up for a Hue account.All you do is set up your Echo Dot if not already done. You should probably wait while it connects to your other devices. Then screw in the lightbulb and turn on the lamp/light fixture. At this point, Alexa should say new light found, but it didn’t. I had to say “Alexa discover devices” Alexa named the device “First Light” Then I was able to say turn on first light, turn off first light, dim first light. There is a video on this page that tells you the exact same thing. This is the video to follow. I just wish there had been directions with this lightbulb that said how to hook it up with an Alexa device and I hadn’t wasted hours of my time.

Debo decir que su oferta es engañosa usted ofrece paquetes de 4 y resulta que solo llegan 2 por caja siempre es mejor hablar claro , copio y pego a continuación Paquete de 4 bombillas LED A19, compatibles con Bluetooth y Zigbee (opcional Hue Hub), activadas por voz con Alexa y Google Assistant, 476861, 10watts

Muy cómodo usarlo con Alexa, es dimeable, lo único que no me gustó fue el color de la luz.. es cálida (amarilla) parece de taquería de banqueta

Update: Downgrading from 2 stars to 1. Ordered replacements. Got everything connected and thought everything was good; was willing to chalk it up to bad luck with defective bulbs. Two weeks later, same problem. Suddenly stopped responding to the google home mini. I disconnected and reset everything (as the troubleshoot guides suggested) and now they can’t even be found again. Exactly the same as before except this time it took one extra week for them to stop working. Even if I can get the reconnect, I refuse to keeping going though this on a regular basis just to use.Original Review: Huge waste of money. Way too difficult to set up and then even after finally getting them set up, they stopped responding to my Google Home Mini after about a week. Disconnected them to try and reset, now they won’t connect again. Probably going to send them back. Way more trouble than they’re worth.That being said, the week they worked was pretty cool. Nice and bright at full blast but also dimmable; though the dimmest setting could be a a bit dimmer still in my opinion. I liked being able to control it with my voice and set the “gentle wake” mode that slowly increased the brightness in the morning before my alarm. If only they had worked for more than a week.

The only thing I have to complain about the whole phillips hue line is how expensive they are. We are slowly transitioning our whole house to smart lights and these are my go to. Sadly I can only afford to buy a couple every month or so. So far I keep buying more so that should tell you something.
