Philips 468926 Hue White Ambiance E12 Decorative Candle 6W Equivalent Dimmable LED Smart Bulb (Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Google Assistant)

I purchased 3 of these about 18 months ago for a ceiling fan fixture. Couldn’t be happier. They work great, look great, and I haven’t had a single issue. I use them with the Philips wall switch, which allows me to add a double tap and dims them to a night light setting! As well as a 3rd push for cool white for cleaning the kitchen!

Good color quality. Dimming works great.

Like the other hue lights, you cant beat these if you need them.

Hue is well known for a reason. These bulbs are a solid quality and have worked without issue since I put them in 3 months ago. They are normally a little pricey, but they go on sale all the time. Totally worth the money.

Love these lights

This is labeled as a NEW bulb, but this was NOT a new bulb. The box had been ripped open already, the bulb was dirty, and it was missing the usual Philips warranty information. This was clearly done prior to shipping, because the shipping package was still fully sealed with Amazon prime tape. The bulb seems to be working fine for now, but I have no way to know how long it was used for and how it could impact its life. Almost every bulb in my house is Hue and I love the bulbs, but this is extremely concerning. Clearly this was an issue with Amazon, and not Philips itself.

Im sure that the bulb itself works just as well as the rest in the product line, but the killer for me is the length of the bulb for my purposes. We wanted to replace the bulb in our bedroom ceiling fan, but it is a single-globe enclosure. The bulb is a good inch longer than the one in there now. So... Short of Phillips releasing a refrigerator style bulb or us replacing the light kit for the sake of a bulb, we wont be automating that light. Id send it back, but I doubt A will accept it since the box was opened. Buyer beware...

Light comes on at 10:30 p.m. and goes off at 7:00 a.m. Will buy two more for the outside.

I bought several Hue products to act as a system for automating my household lights in certain rooms for daily use, & also to give the illusion that someone is at home when no one is. The products included the one for which I am posting this review, and I will be posting the identical review for the other products I bought. The products involved are the White Ambiance Decorative Candle 40 W dimmable, the White Ambiance 60W Dimmable, the Dimmer Switch with Remote, the Motion Sensor, and the Hue Hub. I use these products over an eero based WiFi system, with the Apple HomeKit app operating on my Apple TV4. I control them remotely from my iPhone and my iPad, using the Home app from Apple and the Hue app. (You really need to use both to set the system up, because it maximizes your options to do so.) Setting up the system was quite easy, and all of the accessories work as one would expect. Nevertheless, there is room for improvement, which is why I’ve rated all of them, together, as 4 rather than 5 stars. The biggest problem I have with the system concerns our chandeliers. Both of the ones we have are dimmable, and one of them is controlled by switches at two different doorways. Both of them take 3 light bulbs, and neither of them will function reliably if all three of the bulbs are Hue bulbs. The problem is that when all three of the bulbs are Hue bulbs, they flicker on & off, rendering it impossible to use the chandelier at all. This is a known issue with certain light fixtures which are dimmable, and Phillips is upfront with the likelihood that this could occur. Unfortunately, you won’t know if you have the problem till you try it out. The best solution is to rewire the chandeliers so that they are not dimmable. But pending having that done, I discovered that the living room chandelier works just fine if one light socket is left empty. Not true for the dining room chandelier, but for that one, I discovered that if two of the bulbs are Hue, and the third is a refrigerator light bulb, the flickering does not occur. The problem is that in order to use the scheduling & remote features for the Hue bulbs, the socket the bulbs are in have to be switched on all the time, which means that in the dinning room, the refridgerator light winds up being on all the time. A minor problem I have with Hue lights is that they are all 60 watts (or less). This is not bright enough to read by. For instance, I had three 100 watt bulbs in both our chandeliers, and even when I get three Hues to operate correctly in them, it’s not quite bright enough. I’m hoping that Phillips is working on higher watt versions of the Hue bulbs. The remote device and the motion detector work just fine. Oddly, the motion detector also gives the temperature at the place where it is positioned. For what it’s worth, the ordinary Hue bulbs will work outside even when the temperature drops as much as 20 degrees below zero. At least, that’s been my experience after about a month of use involving a lot of subzero temperatures.

Works just as easy as all the other products.
