Philips Hue 468942 Single Premium BR30 Smart Bulb Downlight for 5-6 inch recessed cans, 16 million colors (Hue Hub Required, Works with Alexa), Old Version, White and Color Ambiance

Works well with Alexia. Love the colors!

Ive had 5 of these bulbs since 2016 and now 3 have started failing. Since its outside the warranty period, Philips wont fix them. These bulbs are way too expensive to only have a life of ~3 years. Also, each bulb is only 800 lumens, which is pretty dim if youre using them with floor lamps. Dont get me wrong, when they work, the colors are great! But wasting $150 on bulbs is definitely not worth it.

I ordered two bulbs. The next day the prices dropped $10 per bulb. Unclear information/ No information about needing a hue bridge to use the lights.

I am amazed by the colors you can get with Hues lights. This BR30 bulb is for ceiling canned lights. I did not have to replace my dimmer for these bulbs. You can dim them on your app or by using Alexa. You could adjust the lights to any type of color and any type of white. They are expensive but totally worth it. Also the hue system is easy to set up and whether your using the app on your phone or Alexa it is a great addition to your smart home

Really good

Ill admit, compared to their cheaper and seemingly similar Chinese clones, these are quite pricey especially for a very simple product. But what you pay in price you get back in quality and durability. If you are serious about going all in on the smart home scene these are a must-have. Ive tried those cheaper knockoff lights that have full RGB color range, but they both have terrible connectivity issues, awful color accuracy, and even worse durability. I had 4/5 of my cheap bulbs fail within the first 3 months. These Philips hue lights? Not a single issue in the months and months Ive had these. The color accuracy is impeccable. The software integration is seamless and super easy to navigate. The connectivity is fast and consistent. The brightness is top of its class. And the features are plentiful and super useful. Time based lighting is a must have for me now. And the ability to accurately sense when I leave my house or arrive is unlike any other app or tool Ive tried to use in the past. Every time I come home, my lights are on, set to the correct temperature, and always ready for commands or changes in scenes. tl;dr - if you are serious about smart home, but the price seems too high in comparison to others. Get these regardless. Its worth every single penny. You wont regret it

So the lights are great, no doubt, delivered timely, no complaints. However, the technical details say 800 lumens, and these are actually 650 lumens. Not a huge deal, but I do not appreciate incorrect descriptions.

The bulbs are good We will see how long they last because they are expensive.

These worked great until after three months when they suddenly became unreachable. After hours of troubleshooting and attempting to locate/re-add them in the Hue app, I finally moved them to a different lamp only to find that they are dead. Don’t work at all. Of course, the return window has passed and I can’t find warranty info as I didn’t keep the box. Disappointed to have spent $100 and have them crap out after 90 days.

Works well, but need to replace existing switch to really make it work right. If the light could remember its last setting when it turns back on, itd be a 5-star.
