The new filament bulbs are a vast improvement over past versions that had only one color temperature. However, they lack much of the red light found in the visible spectrum so color matching to any surrounding lights that skew to a mid warm white is very tricky. I.e. You can find the same color temperature, but the missing color spectrum will make it feel off.
Perfect lights. Always work. If you are just getting into home automation or have been doing it a while, Hue products are the best, period. Cheap substitutes can be flakey and frustrating.
Won't work in any fixture that has a dimmer switch

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought these for use in a ceiling fan/light combo which is controlled by a wall dimmer switch. The bulbs do not turn on at all, regardless of what light setting the dimmer is at. I searched around our house and all fixtures with edison bulbs, except the hallway, have dimmer switches. Not putting $45 light bulbs in the hallway.
