The Bulbs:
Serves the job. They're brighter than any of the other A19/E26 bulbs that Hue sells. But they can't be color or temperature adjusted. Personally, I want more than a dim light when getting ready for bed. I want warm light. I want to cut out the blue light. And as a result I would strongly recommend users upgrade to the next light kit Hue sells. It's only $10-15 more, and it will give you warm to cool light on top of being dimmable. I only use this bulb over my shower because I like it's brightness and I don't tend to want to fall asleep in there.
The Switches:
These switches are great. They can control up to 10 bulbs at once with no bridge. No additional purchases required.
They also contain a chunk of ferrous metal in the middle, it gives them a satisfying heft, and also enables them to stick to magnets. This means they easily click into their provided wall switch. It also means, that you can put magnets inside furniture and they will stick to that, too. Check out these pictures of my bedside table. I absolutely love that this is possible.
As noted above, these bulbs aren't really that adjustable compared to other Hue bulbs. However, for those of you looking to buy this kit to add a dimmer switch to the rest of your Hue bulbs, THESE SWITCHES ROCK. They immediately upgraded my experience.
All my other bulbs are able to produce gentle light at varying levels of brightness. But accessing them through a phone means 1) looking at a phone screen when you're trying to get ready for bed, and 2) making at least 8 taps and swipes to get to the scene I want to launch. With these switches, I can launch at least 15 different functions and scenes with just a press of a button. And that is awesome. It's convenient. It's pleasant. And it's awesome. (For example, if I hold down the dim button, it does a different function than when I press it. And when I press it, it does a different function that when I press it when all the lights are off. - Because why would I be dimming darkness? I wouldn't. So I converted the Dim Down button into another On button in that particular scenario.)
Now, getting this many functions out of a dimmer switch requires a different app than the free Hue app. But it's officially sanctioned by Philips, and is easy to accomplish.
You can completely control your room without getting out of bed.
The Wall Plates:
These wall plates are also awesome. They feature a built in 3M adhesive you can use to stick them to the wall, and the wall plate comes apart to reveal a hidden compartment where screws can be used to fasten the plate to the wall. Contrary to others reports, you CAN use these to replace your switche plates! I have done so. (See my fourth picture.) The wide screw holes allow it to screw into the drywall on either side of your light socket.
Take note, the Hue ecosystem is designed to run with the power always connected. (Think the wall switch always being on), and then relying on your phone, or dimmer switches to electronically switch the light on or off. So, when I installed this switch in my bathroom, I removed the old switch, connected the wires inside so it would always be on, then position the Philips wall plate over the old hole, and screwed it into place. It has not budged.
I have not used the provided adhesive, as I wanted a more removable and reusable option. For my bedroom, I left my old wall switches as they were, (just turned to the on position), and used 3M Command Strip Velcro adhesive strips to attach the plates above and to the side of the switches. (See my second picture). 3M velcro adhesive is also sold on amazon, can be removed with no marks to the walls, and allows me to temporarily take the plate down if ever I want to.
Criticism & Buyer Beware:
1) Bulbs:
These bulbs can't be temperature adjusted. For me, this is a huge issue. I only own one of these bulbs and I use it over my shower for this very reason. I only ever really want to shower with full light. In my rooms, my bathroom, my closet -anywhere else- I want more range of light from my bulbs. When it's bed time, I don't just want dim light, I want gentle light.
The upside, is that no amount of philips hue upgrades will lead to more productivity for this bulb; buy this kit and you'll buy everything you're ever going to have. (No bridge or app required.) The downside, is that these bulbs don't have any upside, and, personally, when i want to get ready for bed, I find converting to warm light, as well as dimmed is a necessity.
2) Switches:
I really wish these remotes weren't symmetrical. They do have a little bump on the back of the remote to help it click into the wall plate, but this isn't something I immediately think about. Aside from that, when I grab the switch in the middle of the night, there's nothing else to tell me which way I'm holding the switch, and I've hit the on-button many times when I meant to hit the off button.
3) App:
This isn't really applicable to this particular set, as this bulb can only be turned on, off, and dimmed, but for those looking to invest in the philips ecosystem, the app is.. okay.
This is easily fixed with officially sanctioned after market "Friends of Hue Apps" made by other providers, but these do cost money, not much, but something to be aware of. I strongly recommend making the purchase, however, as using an aftermarket app, my dimmer switch has 15 different functions from only 4 buttons. I can turn off the lights in my room and the entire house. (I think, theoretically, 24 different scenes would be possible.)
Bottom line:
This product is solid. I highly recommend the Philips Hue eosystem. The app may be clunky, but with excellent workarounds like the dimmer switch available, it dramatically upgrades a room with only one purchase.

This was a much lower cost solution than hiring an electrician to modify our house wiring and the results are terrific. I greatly prefer the warm color in the 2700K range to the 5000K bright whites of other outdoor LED lighting.
We wanted to be able to control a post lantern that lights an outside stairway together with a wall lantern by our garage level entrance. These fixtures are on different circuits. The pole fixture was switched only by a (defective) light and motion sensor and the wall fixture by a single pole switch inside the basement entrance.
It was really easy to install the Philips Hue bulbs in the two fixtures and place two control remotes - one by the basement entrance and one by the front door. This effectively equalled having a 3 way switch. But it's so much more, since it's dimmable by either remote as well as by the Philips Hue App on our iPhones.
Next up is under cabinet lighting for the kitchen and floodlights for the driveway.

Ahora en septiembre de 2021, sigue funcionando excelente, no es que le ocupe demasiado, quizá por ello no he agotados las baterías. Por la razón que sea, es genial!
Package comes with the dimmer switch and a lightbulb. The dimmer switch actually acts as a remote -- the middle part (powered by a CR2450 battery) is held in place by magnets and can pop out. The casing itself can be attached to walls via an adhesive strip.
Out of the box, it works without problem, and can support up to 10 builds without a hub, which can be attached via the app. The dimmer can't control colours, but it can control on/off, and lowering and raising brightness. However, the brightness controls are a bit slow -- it takes four seconds to dim them to their lowest setting.
In addition, using the app allows the on button to rotate between five different saved scenes if you keep hitting it. For the default white bulbs, you can program this for brightness. For the ambient white, brightness and warmth. And for colour, brightness, warmth and colour. The nice things about these scenes are that each bulb attached to the switch can be individually set, so it is easy to have a bunch of different options.
The bulb is the default Philips Hue bulb -- white and capable of dimming. If you own a hub, you can easily pair it to the hub as well to give more control options.
Overall, a very useful addition for those not quite ready to move into the world of fully voice controlled light automation yet.
El único "pero" hasta ahora es que la persona que lo regresó inicialmente rayó el control de la parte trasera pero no se ve una vez instalado y no afecta al funcionamiento.
También ya venía sincronizado hacia otra cuenta pero se soluciona rápido con un reset inicial.
