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?
They’re solid networked bulbs. They just work and there’s no annoying flicker like you may get with PWM LED bulbs. I like being able to change the color of them depending on my mood and the vibe. Friday night comes around and I set everything to fun colors, blast some music, have friends over, etc., it’s a good time and the bulbs contribute. I have a light strip around the mirror in my bathroom and another strip under my cabinets in the kitchen which provide better lighting than the ceiling lights.
I also sometimes set everything to red at night since it’s easier on the eyes. It’s nice being able to have super cool white for doing work, and warmer (sometimes nearly orange/red) for relaxing in the evening.
You could use Govee instead, they’re a little cheaper, but IMO Hue is generally nicer quality.
