Are you looking to make your home a little more colorful and hip, then check out Philips Hue Smart Lighting!
What I loved about the Philips Hue lights is that not only are you able to control the light’s colors and brightness from your smart phone but there are so many colors to choose from to make any situation unique.
Want to create mood lighting to watch a movie? Want to create disco lights for your kids or a party? Want brighter lights for everyday use? All of these unique moods are so easy to create with the Philips hue White & Color Ambiance Smart Lighting Starter Kit and controlled from your phone.
When my daughter and I we tested out the lights in a variety of places in our home. At one point, we even put the lights in the hallway to simulate a dance floor for when her friends come over. We have a New York size apartment so we have to improvise and make the best use of our space.
But that is not how we ended up using our lights, my daughter thought why not use them in the bathroom. My first instinct was “what?!!” Why is this significant? Getting my daughter to take a bath is like pulling teeth. But with the lights now installed, we set up the lights to light up the bathroom in a wash of flashing lights and synced to music. She now happily enjoys her bathtime to a colorful light show while listening to her favorite music. The flip side is that she is in there forever.
After her bath time, we set it back to natural white light for every day use.
So how does it work? The lights are connected to your wireless network and then you can set the mood from your smartphone from an easy to download Philips hue iOS app or Android app. It really is super easy to use.
The Philips hue Lights have a multitude of additional ways you can use them. You can turn all your lights on as you are getting close to home or use the lights as an alarm in the morning to wake you up at a specific hour. You can amp up your home entertainment by syncing your lights to music, movies, or even use the IFTTT and ESPN apps to flash a custom light show when your team scores. And finally, it doesn’t always have to be a light show, sometimes I just want to relax and read. For those moments of when I want to reenergize and relax, I can set a custom “recipe” setting offering up a range of natural white light.
The Philips hue LED White & Color Ambiance Smart Lighting Starter Kit includes 3 A19 Smart Lightbulbs, a Wireless bridge which allows you to control up to 50 hue and Friends devices such as light switches, dimmers, lightstrips, lamps, power adapter, and 6.56’ Ethernet network cable.
