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 was skeptical about spending this much on a single bulb, but the Philips Hue experience completely won me over. Setup took less than 5 minutes through the Hue app, and within the hour I had it connected to Alexa and running on a schedule. The soft warm white light is gorgeous — rich and cozy, nothing harsh or clinical. At 100W equivalent it’s plenty bright for my living room. Being able to dim it by voice or app without a dimmer switch installed is such a convenience I didn’t know I needed. Yes, it’s a premium price, but the reliability and smart home integration are unmatched. Once you go Hue you don’t go back!

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 recently purchased the Philips Hue White A21 High Lumen Smart Bulb and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. This bulb is truly impressive, with a brightness of 1600 lumens that is perfect for lighting up a large bedroom. But what really sets this bulb apart is its smart capabilities. I love that I can control the bulb through my phone and Alexa, allowing me to easily adjust the brightness and turn it on and off. The ability to set schedules and timers has also been incredibly convenient, I have the lamp turn on when my alarm goes off to simulate sunlight and help me wake up. Overall a great purchase for anyone looking to smartify their home with an incredibly easy setup, and all the features you could ask for. Absolutely worth it.

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.

One of the biggest weaknesses of the Hue system was that the bulbs would get to roughly the brightness of a 60 watt bulb, but no higher. Weirdly, you could get bulbs that turned purple, but you couldn't get the equivalent of a 75 watt or 100 watt incandescent bulb, even though there are many places where you want that much light. This solves that problem. It has maximum output equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent bulb, which you can dim down to whatever level you need. The only downside is that it has no ability to adjust color temperature. Fortunately, the color is a clean soft white, which was likely deliberately selected to annoy as few people as possible. It isn't that harsh cool white that makes everything look like a hospital waiting room. Instead, it is just warm enough not to be offensive to those of us who prefer the traditional, incandescent warm light. Philips apparently still does not grasp that plenty of people want 75 or 100 watt equivalent versions of their smart bulbs, as the advertising for this bulb shows it being put in garages and utility rooms. I bought these thinking they might have terrible light quality that is only suitable for a garage. But these are fine for your living space, and while my lower wattage "white ambience" Hue bulbs do ultimately provide a more pleasing light than these, the difference is subtle enough that you shouldn't avoid these just because you can't tweak the color temp. If you need a brighter bulb somewhere and you are already invested in the Hue system, these are a very welcome addition.

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.

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!

This bulb works great with Zigbee2MQTT on Home Assistant. In addition to brightness you are able to set the default power on behavior. No more lit bulbs after a power outage. The bulb will also act as a zigbee router on your zigbee network. The only negative is that these are A21 bulbs which are a bit wider and taller than the more common A19 bulbs. They may not fit or may stick out in some lamps.

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.

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. :)

La A21 es de iluminacion al doble de la A19 aunque no tiene escenas de color. Sin embargo es buena su integración para hacer hogar inteligente. Puedes prenderlas a distancia con tu teléfono por seguridad de la casa y los tuyos. Recomendada ampliamente

I bought two of these bulbs to replace two new Sengled bulbs that turned out to be worthless. Philips bulbs work every time without failure, as opposed to the Sengled smart lights. Recommended!

Definitely has the brightness I was looking for. It could be even better if it was the size of the regular Hue bulb and had the selection of white hues.
