What’s in this discounted Philips smart bulb pack?
Philips Hue is one of the best-known brands when it comes to connected lighting. If you’re new to home automation and room lighting, and aren’t sure where to start, the Hue range is ideal. The smart bulbs offered by Philips are easy to install and configure. The Rue Du Commerce pack brings together the essentials for a good start.

Once unpacked, all you have to do is connect the bulbs and the connection bridge and you’re done. To do this, screw the bulbs into your light fixtures and press the switches. Plug in your bridge and connect it to your Wi-Fi router. All you have to do is find the bridge and your Hue bulbs, via the Philips Hue app, to use them.

Note that in nomadic mode, its autonomy is about 3 hours.
Apple’s Siri, Google Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa voice assistants are present to allow you to control the lighting using your voice, thanks to the connection bridge. The Hue app lets you control up to 50 smart lights. It is of course possible to add a bridge and bulbs to further expand your connected lighting.
