These Hue bulbs (which I received in a free trial) are great! They were easy to fit (just like putting in a normal GU10 bulb) and then connecting them up to the app on my phone was very straightforward. (I already had a Hue bridge and the app downloaded, but fitting that and getting the app is also easy). The app is easy to use and these two bulbs allow for a wide range of colours - you can also choose a different colour for each bulb (see pictures, I know they are not the best) to create different effects ("scenes"). The app comes with a range of different pre-set scenes for these two bulbs in combination and so you can always find something that fits your mood. A big issue for me is sustainability and I have only had the bulbs a few weeks so can't comment on these ... MoreThese Hue bulbs (which I received in a free trial) are great!

Overall I would highly recommend these bulbs if you already have GU10 light fittings.

I fitted this as a spotlight in my dining room- I found the original bulb too bright. This bulb has completely transformed the ambience in the room. For dinner parties I can set a warm, dim light, and for parties I use the colours to create a dance floor! I find now I'm using this bulb daily instead of having to turn on multiple table lamps to get the same effect, hopefully saving on electricity too. The app is so easy to set up and use, and I love that I can use the preset scenes or set my own so I can quickly set the mood in the room. It's also possible to set up to work with voice-controlled gadgets and link multiple bulbs together in rooms.

As an existing user of a number of outside Hue lights I had not considered using the GU10 for my internal room lights. I used these in my hallway and they took seconds to install and they connected to my Phillips Hue App with ease. The controllability of the light brightness and shade is excellent and we have actually decided to upgrade our larger kitchen/diner area with these lights. This will allow us to have separate controllable zones that will be especially useful for entertaining. The only negative is the high cost so we will be doing a bit of saving before the upgrade.

I added these GU10 format bulbs to my existing home setup that uses a Philips Hue bridge as the main control hub for all of my home lighting. The bulbs were easy to add and worked as expected. These GU10 bulbs are good for normal lighting and for creating coloured ambient and mood lighting. If you do not have a Philips Hue bridge you can control the bulbs directly by downloading the Philips Hue Apple or Android app and using bluetooth. You can also control these bulbs using other hub devices that support the Zigbee protocol (like certain Amazon Echo devices). The bulbs are GU10 mains voltage with a diameter of 50mm and overall length of 58mm. They have a 43 degrees beam angle and have a standby power consumption of 0.5W each. The construction seems to be all plastic ... MoreI added these GU10 format bulbs to my existing home setup that uses a Philips Hue bridge as the main control hub for all of my home lighting.

The bulbs are GU10 mains voltage with a diameter of 50mm and overall length of 58mm. They have a 43 degrees beam angle and have a standby power consumption of 0.5W each. The construction seems to be all plastic and well made. Considering what these bulbs can do if they last the stated 15,000 hours then they will be good value. They also have a 2 year warranty. The bulbs can produce a white light of between 2000K to 6500K (from very warm to daylight white) and they can also produce a full range of 16 million potential lighting colours that you can choose from. How much power the bulbs consumes and how bright they are depends on the colour you set them at. At 4000K (warm white) the bulb uses 5.7W and produces 350lm of light. At 2700K (very warm white) the bulb uses 4.3W and produces 250lm of light. For coloured lighting the lumens produced will be even less. Overall I think Philips produces some of the best and most reliable LED bulbs. And with the Hue range of lighting products and accessories you have the ability to control all aspects of your home lighting to make it personalised to you.
The lights were really easy to set up using the Phillips Hue Bluetooth app and have a full spectrum of colours and brightnesses. We have ours set up in the bathroom and nursery so we can dim and colour the lights in the evening to reduce blue light exposure. Using the app there are a limited range of additional routines which you can programme the bulbs to follow - wake-up, go to sleep, flash for alarms and scenes. For a wider range of control options we connected the bulbs with our Alexa (again very easy) which had a wide range of integrated functions. Overall, this is a great addition to a smart home setup (e.g. Alexa, motion sensors, Phillips Hue Bridge) but is a little pricey for the functionality you get with the standalone product.
Having never used lighting like this before, and being not a particularly tech-savvy person, I was worried that it would be difficult to install and use. This was not the case! The box includes a leaflet with a QR code which you scan to download the app. Once installed the app walks you through the process to get set up. You then need to plug in the lightbulb, switch the light on and use the app to pair the light bulb with your phone and then it's all ready to use. Once set up, you can use the app to choose the colour light you wish to display from a wide range of colour options. The app also suggests different colour combinations depending on what mood you are trying to achieve including party vibes, dreamy, cosy and futuristic.

You are also able to set this up to use with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. The greatest compliment I can give is that I will certainly be installing these bulbs throughout my house when the existing bulbs need replacing!
Really easy to set up and integrate with my existing Hue system. Easy to control and change the colours in the app. I now have a spooky porch for Halloween! Set up - It was literally a plug and play job with my existing system. Plugged the light into my porch lamp. Searched for new lights on the Hue app. The light was found straight away and connected without any issues. If you dont already have any Hue products the app is really easy to set up and can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Playstore. General use - The light is bright but can be dim controlled down. The choice of colours is fun to play with, especially if you use the app and colour wheel to cycle through different shades or "hues". You can choose for the light to remember the colour you've ... MoreReally easy to set up and integrate with my existing Hue system.

The choice of colours is fun to play with, especially if you use the app and colour wheel to cycle through different shades or "hues". You can choose for the light to remember the colour you've chosen or for it to return to default white. For this light we have chosen to use it outside, it's helped create a bit of ambiance to our spooky porch display. At night it can seem quite dramatic if set to red however we've chosen to go with Green. However after Halloween it will go back to pink to match our front door. Value for money - Weighing up the value for money, the light bulb was easy to plug in, easy to connect to the app, easy to control and change the colours. Plus you have the ability to control the Hue system via Amazon Alexa or Apple and HomeKit. To me it is value for money and helps create atmosphere.
These bulbs have an almost endless number of different colours. There are different moods - for night time, reading, relaxing or whatever. I'm not sure you'd ever use all of them but you can do some fun things with them. These bulbs have Bluetooth as well as Wi-Fi and fit into a standard GU10 bulb fitting. You can use the Alexa app to get the most out of these bulbs. They will work with Alexa by downloading the Philips Hue Bluetooth app which will let you turn them on, off, change colour etc. If you want full control, i.e. while away from home for security issues then apparently you can do some cool things with the other smart devices in your home, for example you can also have your hue lightbulb light up when the Ring doorbell goes.

As well as all the colour options, you can also do things like gradually make it light up as the evening gets darker, or gradually make it go dimmer as the day gets brighter.
These Philips Hue bulbs are great; they are easy to set up and use. I like the white ambiance bulbs because you can change between different warmths of white light, to suit the room or the mood. Initially, this might sound like a bit of a gimmick, but I think it's actually worth having. The bulbs can be dimmed too, irrespective of whether the lamp or fitting was dimmable before, which means even if you have several fittings on one switch, you can also configure different parts of the room with different light levels. I have several other Philips Hue products so have a Philips Hue hub to control the bulbs. Adding these bulbs to the hub, via the Philips Hue app couldn't be much easier.

I find the app works well. Obviously you can switch lights, zones or rooms on/off or control brightness and colour. There is also plenty of functionality if you want to do something a bit more with your lights, like add automations or create scenes (configurations of multiple lights). If controlling your lights from your phone isn't for you, there are plenty of physical switch options available too.
I am not particularly familiar with interconnected technology, but was delighted to try these Bluetooth light bulbs as they sounded extremely easy to set up. This bulb was used in my son's room for his bedside table lamp. It was incredibly easy to set up, there are full instructions in the box, describing the app which you need to download and once installed on your phone or home device there are multiple options to make the most of your new bulb. Through the app you can change the colour of the bulb through bright whites to warm whites and 16 million colour variations. The colour options are not as bright as the white options but they give a lovely hue and mood to the room. The app also allows you to set up the light to be used as an alarm, coming on gradually in ... MoreI am not particularly familiar with interconnected technology, but was delighted to try these Bluetooth light bulbs as they sounded extremely easy to set up.

Although I haven't set this up yet, you can also use voice activation through Alexa and Google assistant. I am a real convert, I was delighted how easy it was to set up, the variety of options, and the mood setting of being able to change the colour, which really altered the mood within the space.
