Model with 800 lumens*
Excellent and high-quality construction with sufficient brightness that, through the Philips Hue Bridge and the free Philips Hue application, unlocks millions of colors and scenarios.
A. For mobile, the main free application is Philips Hue, which requires the Philips Hue Bridge to fully utilize the Hue lighting.
There are also other notable third-party applications such as:
1. Hue Essentials (Costs about 6 euros and if you don't use the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box, it is a good solution to synchronize your mobile with your Hue lights for image and music).
2. Huegasm (Costs about 5 euros and is an application solely for music, but it is worth more than the Hue Essentials application due to better light settings).
Personally, I use both, the first one for movies and YouTube, and the second one for music, and I am fully satisfied with my mobile experience.
B. For the laptop, there is the free Philips Hue Sync application, which allows you to synchronize:
1. Scenes
2. Games
3. Music
4. Video
This specific application fully covered my needs for the laptop, and I didn't have to pay for any extra applications.
C. For the television, it is essential to have the Philips Hue Bridge and the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box, or by connecting the television with at least HDMI Version 2 (for better response), you can synchronize your Hue lighting with the television through the free Hue Sync application on the laptop.
I already own:
1. Philips Hue Bridge
2. Philips Hue Smart Dimmer Switch
3. Philips Hue White And Color Ambiance Single Bulb E27
4. Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Play Light Bar 2-pack
5. Philips Hue Smart Lightstrip 2m White and Color Ambiance Plus base pack
All the above lighting devices will be reviewed, so if you are interested, check each one and get informed.
Update: 2 years later, the bulb started making a buzzing noise, which, although not intense, may bother some people.
Apart from the buzzing noise, there are no other issues, it functions like the first day.
Prefer the 800 lumens for the bedroom.
The 1100 for the kitchen.
The 1500 for the living room.
