Amazing!!!

I have been wanting smart lights because I knew I’d love them. After researching a lot I knew Phillips Hie was the way to go. Just got my hub and a few bulbs to start and I have to say it FAR surpasses my expectations. So excited to set up the rest and to get more. Only sorry that I waited as long as I did!!!

I love that I can set the mood and tone with these lights.

I can turn a whole bunch of lights off at once!

Now that’s mighty convenient, I’d say.

We did a 6 light theater set-up in our multipurpose living room. The versatility of the lights between daytime, night and theater colors is excellent. The various mood set ups are quite good and customized settings are easy. We have another controlled light system in the house and the Phillips app is significantly better. Would love to have the money to retrofit the rest of the house with the Phillips system.
