Philips Hue White 2-Pack E27

Purchased these after l purchased the white ones the white ones are cool but these are just amazing easy to io install and update using the Hue app.These are amazing to use being all the colour combinations you can see and all the drifferent modes of colour to can make using the Hue app. You won’t be unhappy with these..the only thing is these are a bit expensive but for these bulbs can do that’s okay..

Great lamps and you can link them with the Phillips hub. So much better that having those plug in timers which can trip the fuses

Now then. If you're able to read my other reviews, you'll appreciate I've been through quite some mission trying to find the right Philips Hue lighting products for my home.My criteria were simple; I needed bulbs that were of good quality and capable of displaying a colour range (gamut) that's would be close to their lightstrip plus product which I have already invested in and am very pleased with. Sounds simple, but the quest has not been so easy in practice.I initially chose the HUE Bloom units, which displayed the colours, but we're insufficiently bright and the lighting elements are permanently housed in cheap, plastic lamps, which are flimsy and lightweight.

If you're able to read my other reviews, you'll appreciate I've been through quite some mission trying to find the right Philips Hue lighting products for my home.My criteria were simple; I needed bulbs that were of good quality and capable of displaying a colour range (gamut) that's would be close to their lightstrip plus product which I have already invested in and am very pleased with. Sounds simple, but the quest has not been so easy in practice.I initially chose the HUE Bloom units, which displayed the colours, but we're insufficiently bright and the lighting elements are permanently housed in cheap, plastic lamps, which are flimsy and lightweight. I returned them.Next, I purchased the Philips HUE GU10 spot bulbs.Based on internet research, one (literally) glowing video review suggested that these GU10 bulbs were capable of the same colour gamut, but were more powerful. However, as these are simply bulbs, they would require lamp holders to house them (sold separately).I purchased 4 holders from another vendor (at a not-inconsiderable additional expense) which appeared to be suitable, along with 4 GU10 bulbs.Unfortunately, there were two problems. Firstly, the Philips HUE GU10 bulbs are much deeper than a regular GU10 spec bulb, which means that they protrude from the holders enough to be visually unappealing, not to mention vulnerable to potential damage. Not a deal breaker, but worthy of mention.Most importantly however, the colour gamut of the HUE GU10 bulbs is severely compromised in the green and cyan spectrum, only capable of producing a very weak green, which verges on the yellow and dark blue, with nothing available in teal, lighter blues or emerald greens. When I say nothing I mean it, the light just reverts to white, so when using with the spectrum device in the HUE app, be prepared for bitter disappointment. It is not a fault.I contacted Philips to complain who advised me that what I needed were the A19 type bulbs with 'Richer colour', the review for which you are reading now.Having returned the previous items for refund, I purchased a double pack in B22 (bayonet) and another double pack in E27 (Large Edison screw).I am finally delighted to report that these bulbs will mimic the colour gamut of the lightstrip plus, producing wonderful arrays of greens, cyans and everything else with style. They are plenty bright enough and consume around 9 watts each, which is superb.I would recommend these without reservation and hope this review prevents you from undergoing the same rigmarole I had to undertake before finding the right product.
