Philips Hue light bulbs

[80B]

Boss girl and I bought a pair of blue pendant lights when we were in Murano Italy, and put them in our kitchen. Their color reminded me a bit of the stained glass in Chartres cathedral. Once installed, i thought what the hell let's have a bit of fun with them.

We bought the color Hue bulbs that have WiFi built in and a hub that attaches to our router (most dimmable Hue bulbs are not multi-color). The Hue app is pretty cool, with a lot of color schemes to choose from, as well as basically any color, temperature and brightness possible, and you can group lights together, or control them separately. We put one bulb in a globe-shaped fixture of perforated copper we bought in Morocco, and the different colors are pretty cool.

The bulbs integrated very easily with our Google home hub, and we enjoy changing the mood of these rooms with a quick "hey Google" voice command. There are apps that can do more with these bulbs, but I've not played with any yet. GE has a line of bulbs that don't need a hub and integrate with Google Home, but they didn't yet have colored bulbs when I got the Hue lights a couple months ago.

I will probably swap out some bulbs to Hue bulbs in the listening room at some point, but for the time being am fine with simple dimming on those.

I use the LIFX downlights, they are excellent and as per the Phillips easy to setup and use.

Great addition to the audio room

I use Lightify color downlight and bulbs. The color bulbs are fun. Mine are integrated through the Wink Hub to turn them on an off on a schedule, and I use Alexa occasionally to change the color scheme. I bought a bunch of Lightify light strips and bulbs when they were 80% off a couple of years back and put them under the eaves at Christmas. They worked out great
