Philips Hue Smart 100W A21 LED Bulb - Soft Warm White Light - 1 Pack - 160LM - E26 - Indoor - Control with Hue App - Works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Homekit

I use this bulb in ZigBee mode to automate a porch light in Home Assistant. It's not rated for outdoor use but nobody has to know. Mine sits on 30% brightness for casual outdoor lighting and 50% for bad weather. I use 100% for doing stuff in the dark. It's astonishingly bright at max brightness, I don't even need a flashlight. Pros: -Everyone on the block turns porch lights on at night. I have mine on a schedule so my light will turn on even if nobody is home. I also have automations for adjusting the brightness when certain doors get manipulated. -Extremely bright at 100% -Cool gimmicks you can incorporate into your home security setup like making the bulb blink/flash. It also has a candle mode that makes the brightness waver. Neutral: -DIY needed to make the bulb do creative things. Bluetooth is limited, you'll probably want a ZigBee system. -High cost per bulb unless you you get the white one with no color temp adjustment. Cons: -The color is literally not white, it's much closer to yellow sunlight. You're supposed to use this bulb indoors??? With this color temperature and brightness range it makes more sense to put these bulbs outside contrary to what the instructions say.

I use these lightbulbs all over my house. I love the ease of setting them up through the Hue app and the connection to Alexa makes them even better. The lights are bright and I love that I can adjust the brightness and tone through the app as well. I have set them to whenever I say, "Alexa, I'm working" -- they come on in my office and when I say, "Alexa, I'm done" -- they turn off.

Got this for a stairwell that had only 1 switch located at the top of the stairs so that we could combine with 2 Aurora rotart switches adding a second switch downstairs. No Hue Bridge and never using the Bluetooth/wifi functions on the App so can't speak to any of those functions. The combo with 2 Aurora switches worked perfect. An expensive setup but cheaper and less permanent than running new wiring in a 140 year old house lol. It is definitely a bright bulb too and gives off more heat than other lower wattage Hue bulbs but that's to be expected. With LEDs that heat should only shorten the lifespan of the bulb itself rather than be any kind of actual risk. Color temp is pleasant too - not too warm, not too cool - fine in daytime or evening in the hallway. Dims nicely with no flicker or stutters.

I'm a total snob about lighting, and really picky when it comes to color temperature. At first I was worried about the fact that you couldn't adjust the color temperature on this bulb, but I think they chose just the right balance here. I think it's about 3000K -- not too warm, not too cool. It is VERY bright. so bright, I never have it on at 100%. One star off though because I discovered that you can't dim it very low. Sometimes when I'm watching TV, I want the lights SUPER DIM, similar to a night light. Previously I had a 60 watt equivalent HUE bulb in that fixture and I could dim that one much lower than this new one. Perhaps that's just a limitation when it comes to any type of LED bulb though, and overall, I'm happy.

I'm a Hue enthusiast. My house is practically a Hue smart home, and I've been using their bulbs for over a decade. But I've always had one little gripe: the standard 60W bulbs just weren't quite bright enough for some rooms. Well, problem solved! Philips Hue finally came out with 100W bulbs, and they're a game-changer. I ordered a pack from Amazon, and with 2-day shipping, they arrived super quickly. These bulbs are exactly what I've been waiting for. They provide that extra oomph of brightness when you need it, but you still have the full dimming capability that Hue bulbs are known for. So, you can blast them at 100W when you need maximum light, or dim them down for a cozy ambiance. It's the best of both worlds! Now, my living room and kitchen are perfectly lit, and I can still control everything from my phone. Honestly, these 100W bulbs are a fantastic addition to the Hue ecosystem. They've addressed my only real complaint about the system. Would I buy them again? Absolutely! In fact, I'm planning on replacing all my older bulbs with these 100W versions. If you're a Hue user and have been wanting brighter bulbs, these are a must-have. You won't be disappointed!

Works well…

I used four of these bulbs to replace the the three-way light bulbs in the the living room. Before the replacement, the three-way bulbs were turned on and off with an Amazon Alexa wall plug. I had about 10 wall plugs throughout my home, and while the Amazon wall devices works best, wall plugs switches are erratic and not the best solution. First, there the messy extension cords, and second, they have no dimmer function. The 60W equivalent Hue light works great, but 60W is not always bright enough. The 100W equivalent makes a big difference in luminescence. Since they are dimmable, for all intents and purposes, they are perhaps 10-ways, since one can say "Alexa set living room to 90% or 80%, etc. While Hue does not have a 150W equivalent function of the three way bulbs, 100W is adequate . Though, if Hue develops a 150W equivalent, I might get a few of them. I've never had a problem with a Hue bulb, and when the budget can afford it, I'll change-out the six remaining wall switches with 60W or 100W equivalent Hue bulbs.

Brighter than the A19s and also much larger. Perfect for my garage ceiling lamp holders. Would not likely fit most fixtures.

Funciona bien, no leí bien la especificación, está muy cálida, aunque dice blanca cálida , es más calidad que blanca al no saber , pensé que 2700k era blanco cálido pero no, yo buscaba un 4000k, pero en fin buen producto, fácil de instalar y funciona con aAlexa y lo reconoce rápido

this is just what we needed! the room is now nicely bright. We turn down the intensity in the evening. Be aware that there is no variation in colour temperature; you can only dim it, not make it cooler or warmer. I would have preferred having variable colour temperatures but the main goal is achieved.

Definitivamente se ve una diferencia contra la opción de 60 watts

Quizá el nombre del producto sea un poco "engañoso", pero en realidad en la descripción del producto no se describe que pueda cambiar de tonalidad. No es un mal producto, simplemente es un foco al cuál se le puede regular la intensidad y no el color ni la tonalidad, son distintos los que son solo regulables en intensidad, los que también cambian de tonalidad de blanco y los que incluyen color. En lo personal era lo que buscaba, aunque sí esperaba que se pudiera cambiar de tono, solo que no leí bien la descripción ni las reseñas. De cualquier forma me parece que ilumina bastante bien, es muy fácil de instalar y controlar por bluetooth desde el celular o con Alexa. Justo lo acabo de recibir y probar pero quizá actualice este comentario ya que pasen unos meses, por ahora se ve excelente. :)
