What are these Philips Hue connected bulbs?
Philips Hue connected bulbs are quick and easy to install. To get started, nothing could be easier, just screw the bulbs into your lights, plug in the bridge and connect it to your Wi-Fi. You will then find your lamps in the dedicated Philips Hue application. You can then change the intensity and color of your lamps, in order to personalize your lighting, all via the Hue application available on your iOS and Android smartphone or tablet.
Note that many settings are present, to quickly choose predefined lighting ambiances. The Hue application also allows you to have remote access to your bulbs. For example, you can simulate a presence at home when you are away, useful during vacations. Finally, the voice assistants Google Assistant, Apple Siri and Amazon Alexa are compatible with the Hue range, to control your bulbs with the sound of your voice.
What are these Hue Go wireless lamps?
The Hue Go portable light is a cordless, bowl-shaped LED light that has a built-in battery. It can be transported and placed anywhere, and its design makes it easy to direct the light. As with the bulbs, the Hue Go is controlled via the Philips Hue application, but there is also an integrated control on the back of the lamp. It allows you to adjust the lighting and choose from five light effects (Wake-up, Concentration, Reading or Relaxation).
If you use the application, however, you can create the light of your choice yourself with more amplitude. It is also possible to program the switching on and off of your Go lamp, and to control up to 10 Go lamps at the same time. Note that the battery is rechargeable so that the lamp can be used in nomadic mode, but it is also possible to plug it into the mains. In nomadic mode, autonomy is around 3 hours.
