The Hue White and Color Ambiance Starter Kit is Philips latest lighting solution. This revised and corrected version of the Hue version 2 pack intends to provide quality lighting both in white (warm and cold) and in color, with more intense greens and blues.
The Hue White and Color Ambiance perfectly combine ease of installation and use while providing quality light, whether in warm or cool white. The different white temperatures recorded as well as the CRIs are excellent, especially for bulbs that diffuse colored light. The brightness / consumption ratio is also up to our expectations and the user experience is enhanced by a functional and complete application.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The StrimLIGHT Color sml-c9 is a connected bulb that does what it is asked to do. Very easy to use and configure, it allows you to create luminous atmospheres with great intensity. In addition, its enriched application improves its daily use. Moreover, its IRC can be improved and its use is limited by the choice of Bluetooth.
