What is this connected bulb kit from Philips?
Philips Hue connected bulbs are easy to use and installation is quick. This starter kit includes the essentials to get started, with three E27 white and colored light bulbs, a light dimmer and the essential connection bridge, which acts as a control center. The bridge allows you to control your entire Hue system via your iOS and Android smartphone or tablet.
After screwing the bulbs into your lights, plug in the bridge and connect it to your Wi-Fi to find your lights in the dedicated Philips Hue app. You can now start changing the intensity of your lamps, or personalize your lighting. The Hue application also allows you to have remote access to your bulbs at any time. You will be able to simulate a presence at home when you are away.
Is this Philips Hue kit a good deal at this price?
If you need multiple bulbs and don’t have a jumper, then this kit is a great deal to start with. Rest assured, if you want to avoid many settings, there are also predefined scenes. The “Concentration” or “Relaxation” settings offer, for example, shades and brightness adapted to the desired atmosphere.
Voice assistants Google Assistant, Apple Siri and Amazon Alexa are compatible with the Hue range, to control your bulbs with simple voice commands like “Turn off/dim all lights”. Note that the Hue app allows you to control up to 50 connected lamps.
