Philips Introduces New Ambient Hue Lights

This Accessory is a must if you have Philips Hue Lights. Once set up it works just like a regular light switch with the ability to store up to 4 light settings. No need to open up an App on your phone or computer to turn on lights. I suggest one for each room you have Philips light installed.

Being a home theater enthusiast adding these lights to my philips hue sync box which is already syncing to my tv makes for an unbelievable movie watching experience! Super fast shipping from B&H. I would highly recommend if your a philips fan.

I have a number of lights in the Philips Hue family, and the blooms are no joke! Very light weight, but very well made. It fills up so much of the room with its light without being overpowering. Definitely well worth it!!

Great sound, still mastering some of Siri’s tricks to control my Philips Hue lights. Audio is great for speakerphone, and it creates interactivity at gatherings, like a disembodied extra presence.

I've been using Philips Hue for almost 10 years and I'm happy with this smart light system.

I already use Philips Hue lightbulbs (they’re amazing) and decided to try this lamp when we were in the market for a new bedroom floor lamp. What a hit! Its floor footprint is tiny (perfect for our tiny Manhattan apartment) yet the lamp is bright enough to replace a “proper” floor lamp — it delivers way more than just “accent” light. We’re obsessed and already want to buy more.

Fantastic ambient lighting provided by this strip connected to a HUE Sync Box.

I use my Kenko meter for sports photography in arenas. Tired of the color temp of your backgrounds not matching the color temp of the close-up subject? The light fixtures in most arenas have two colors of non-daylight-colored light. Like most non-incandescent lights, they pulse many times per second -- one dominant color and a second that emits as the power falls off before the next pulse. Although easy enough to look up the specs on the bulb/fixture manufacturer's web page, it's often impossible to determine the precise type of bulb used in your locations fixtures, and in any event the wall paint schemes affect the hue. This meter helps me measure the two temps of the ambient lighting, and then gel my arena strobes first to absorb the primary hue missing from the ambient fixtures, and then to gel again to absorb the second hue. The meter is then used again to fire the strobes, and then by changing the shutter speed on the meter with that single reading, it reports both the color of the strobes and the ambient light to help ensure you've got them reasonably matched. It's expensive, but if you invest the time to master it, you can build formulas and gel packs for every arena you shoot. I've even used it on occasion to gel my camera-mounted strobe to match the ambient light.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Philips Party Speaker is awesome, the lights are bright weather day or night. Easy to carry not too heavy! Very easy to hook up with Bluetooth as well!

Love it. Music, podcasts, makes phone calls and controls Hue lights. Great sound quality over other smart speakers
