I don’t get it. They’re colored lights. I think of my self as a pretty tech-savvy GenXer, and I’m kind of a lighting geek, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why I would want a lamp to be a particular color (other than 2800/3000/3200K) .

Note: I have 95CRI 3200K LED lighting in my kitchen and office where I spend most of my time and I have Caseta programmable/networked lights in the house. I’ve never felt the need to actually use the networking feature. What am I missing with Hue?

    I’ve not used the Phillips Hue lights, but I have used other brands, and the answer is that they are fun.

    • I used them in my patio light to set holiday themes
    • In rooms with front facing windows to add additional spooky ambiance for Halloween
    • Accent lighting for Tiki themed parties
    • Mood lightning for various occasions (e.g. watching horror movies or “date night”)

    That being said, the novelty wore off after about 2 years and I no longer use them … but now I’m thinking I might want to bring them out again.
