I have over 30 hue products, mostly color Hue bulbs. I wanted Lights to shine down on the Living room couch area when a little more light is required. Since these are double the Lumins of my other hue bulbs, they really do the job. I have Alexa routines to Turn On Dim Reading Lights, Turn On Reading Lights and Turn On Bright Reading Lights. (50%, 75% and 100%)

We have used hue lights for close to 10 years. Very happy with them overall. We had been wanting some higher wattage bulbs and these dont disappoint. They are MUCH brighter then the 60 watt. We have close to 50 bulbs plus other accessories, these were a great addition. Also love the 100 watt color bulbs as well.

Bright Hue bulb

Much brighter and a little bigger than the broken four year old 800 lumen Hue White bulb that it's replacing. Definitely agree with the 1600 lumen rating, it appears to be twice as bright. The light quality is good with a pleasant 2700K color. It was easy to pair with the Hue hub and responds quickly. Hopefully this one will last closer to it's rated 25,000 hour life!

Buggy light/app experience. I couldn’t get it to update, and the app just kept rapidly connecting/disconnecting. It was unclear that this doesn’t work with HomeKit. Returned!

The brightest Hue I've purchased to date, and for a great price. The Hue ecosystem is reliable and easy to use. Setup is a breeze and it connects easily with my Google Home setup. I recommend this product if you need lots of light. Be aware this bulb is longer than a normal bulb, so it doesn't fit in some smaller lamps without sticking above the shade.
A:It's not waterproof. I have one as our front light outside our front door but it doesn't get wet there. It's been there a while and seems to be fine.
A:Soft. This is more yellow at 2700k but it’s nice and bright. For reference, more white, which is what I think you’re looking for, would be in 4000k and blues are up in that 6000k range.
