Love it! I have transitioned to ALL Hue products for uniformity and I would never change it. Even my husband likes it and he doesn't dig new technology.

These light bulbs were exactly what I needed to replace a "White & color ambiance" bulb which was years & years old! (before 2018?)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for the kind words! It sounds like your original Hue bulb had a long and successful career. We're delighted that the Essential bulbs were the perfect replacement and that they're fitting right into your existing Hue setup. Enjoy your lighting!

Several are not working - Not worth the price
on October 7, 2026
Posted by: MikeMD
Have had 2 of these and a white one completely stop working in the last few weeks. At the price Phillips charges these bulbs, they should last longer than a few years. Will be buying a different brand bulb moving forwardas I can’t trust the quality or reliability of hue bulbs nor can I justify the cost of a product that doesn’t last anywhere near its expected lifespan.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. It's certainly unusual for multiple Hue bulbs to stop working after only a few years, and we'd appreciate the opportunity to look into this further with you. Please contact us at https://www.philips-hue.com/en-us/support/faq#contact, and when you do, have your proof of purchase available so we can check whether the products may be covered under our warranty terms and review the available options together.

Love these bulbs!
on August 18, 2026

I recently purchased a set of these bulbs and I am blown away by the quality of them. They are much more vibrant than my other smart bulbs. The dimming ability is great. They respond quickly and have a large range of dimming. The bulbs were simple to connect. After I set up my Hue bridge and the bulbs in the app, I set them up in Alexa. It was not a difficult process.
Response from PhilipsHueBy Nancy G, Philips Hue Support, August 19, 2026
What a pleasure to read! We're thrilled that the brightness, color quality, and dimming performance have exceeded your expectations. It's also great to hear getting everything connected to your Hue Bridge and Alexa was simple and hassle-free. Enjoy your lighting setup, and thank you for choosing Hue!

pay more - get less

Still very difficult to pair with Alexa. Im giving up in frustration. Paying more does not always guarantee the best product.
