Philips' Hue Connected Bulb lets you change the color of your lightbulbs and control them from your phones. It's easy to use
And -- most importantly -- nails the basics
Boldly colored customizable lighting powered by your iOS device. Easy to set up and use. Expands to support up to 50 total bulbs.
The editors didn't like
Complicated to use
Bulbs aren't very bright
Official app is a bit clunky and not that geek-friendly
It's not immediately obvious how to control different groups of lights
No way to set separate weekday and weekend timers without taking matters into your own hands
No official API or SDK yet
Migh
Expensive
Three-bulbs-and-a-hub is expensive at $199
The novelty factor will wear off for many users quickly
And Android users apparently come in second on Philips' app development priority list
App is slightly cumbersome and lacks recurring timers. Bulbs lose color scheme when manually powered off. High cost for starter kit
Wireless, works with your current lights, powered by your smartphone, works remotely, SDK, up to 50 lights on one system
Expensive, smartphone required
We like Philips Hue, in fact we like Philips Hue a lot. It's a clever system that appeals to us, as geeks, and it's also useful if you need to use your room for different events and want to set a mood. And besides all that, it's terribly clever, and th...
Abstract: That's because each LED, or light-emitting diode, is a small chip, the product of the same sort of manufacturing process that spawned the digital revolution. The chips are backed up by more electronics in the stem of the bulb. These bulbs are smart, or at...
Fun, Lots of possibilities on what you can do with the Philips hue, No need to worry about switching on/off your lights, APIs are easy to use
Expensive, Lack of APIs for control over the Internet
The only thing standing beside the Philips hue and me is the price. I love the product and the limitless possibilities of what I can do with the lights, but the price is not very attractive for me yet.For guys and geeks, if you have some spare cash or loo...
Système très simple, Fonctionnalités vraiment utiles, Le concept du jeu de lumière
Puissance un peu juste, Un seul type de culot, Retard à l'allumage physique
Une lampe qui s'allume par le smartphone, c'est amusant mais pas indispensable. Créer un jeu de lumière sur plisseurs lampes en faisant varier l'intensité et la couleur, c'est éclairage du futur. Et Philips prouve d'emblée que c'est simple et accessible à...
Marche, et du premier coup, Palette de couleurs impressionnante, Réactivité / fonction réveil, Application sympa
Puissance d'éclairage faible, Prix élevé, Usage distant via interface Web
Les ampoules Hue sont la vraie bonne surprise de ce dossier: Philips a conçu un système qui marche bien, du premier coup, et qui se révèle fort agréable au quotidien. En effet, pouvoir créer différentes ambiances lumineuses chez soi sans avoir à multipli...
Change véritablement l'ambiance de la pièce, Programmation de l'éclairage, Allumage progressif possible, Faible consommation, Une certaine ouverture pour les développeurs, Utilisation du protocole sans fil ZigBee
Pas de mémorisation des couleurs au niveau des ampoules, Uniquement des ampoules avec un culot E27, Prix
Le kit Hue de Philips est un véritable coup de coeur. Il permet de voyager sans changer de pièce ou plus simplement de refaire la décoration d'un clic. Bien réparties dans la pièce, les trois ampoules intelligentes de Philips autorisent la création de vér...

conception, simplicité de configuration et d'utilisation, les vastes possibilités de réglage, qualité de l'éclairage.
Vous l'aurez compris, le produit en lui même m'a vraiment convaincu et me donne envie d'équiper l'ensemble de la maison avec les différents produits de la gamme. Le potentiel est énorme, aussi bien au niveau esthétique qu'au niveau pratique grâce à la cré...
Basata su sofisticate tecnologie portate nel quotidiano, Settaggi estremamente semplici, “Effetto stupore” assicurato
Utilità pratica discutibile, Costo troppo elevato
Hue Philips è un prodotto davvero affascinante per qualunque geek. L'idea di poter cambiare la tonalità delle luci di casa usando una immagine e quella di controllarle con un iPhone è qualche cosa che rientra nel perfetto immaginario di chi vive la tecnol...
