REVIEW: Philips Hue Starter Kit, smart and versatile light bulb

Have you ever thought about lighting your home in a different way? The RGB LED package Philips Hue Starter Kit gives you a multitude of customizations that involve colors, light intensity and even the possibility of turning your whole house into a ballad. Check out how it was the experience of having these lights at home for two weeks!

What's in the box?

The kit is very practical, it contains three RGB LED lamps with more than 16 million colors and one Hue Bridge in the box, which enables interaction between devices through the brand's applications. Each RGB LED lamp has a flat tip appearance and its material is milky. For use, the lamps can be placed in any standard E27 socket, without the need for adaptations.

Apps

Philips Hue e hue sync are the applications that make it possible to customize the lights. The first, installed on the cell phone, already comes with pre-set color options and settings, but also has a vast gallery and allows customization according to the user's taste. The second one can be installed both in the smartphone and on the computer, and makes it possible to create environments that work with audio and music, synchronizing the lights with what happens in the speakers or headphones.

To use the application hue sync it is necessary to connect to Hue Bridge, which comes in the kit, into the socket and plug it into the Wi-Fi or network cable.

Voice command

The devices in this line are compatible with voice commands and assistants. Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit and others can be used.

How was the experience?

Installation is very easy and practical, exactly the same as installing any other lamp. The slightly confusing part, in my opinion, was having so many bulbs connected at the same time in the mobile app. However, it's a matter of practice, slowly you stop confusing the lamp in the living room with the one in the kitchen and vice versa.

The lights are intense in all modes and colors and you can play with the intensity a lot. If you prefer a more clean and intimate, there is a setting in the application Philips Hue call candle light, it's really fun to leave the lamp on in this mode. It's important to remember that they can also be left in white or yellow if you don't like exaggeration and want something more basic, but it's worth using and abusing all the alternatives offered.
