Hey Siri!
Set it to bidness time!
Today I'm going to review Philips Hue personal wireless lighting.
And here it is. Philips Hue Personal wireless lighting.
White and color ambiance starter kit.
Meaning these bulbs can produce white light from warm 2000 kelvin to a cold 6500 kelvin plus colors.
And this starter kit comes with 3 bulbs and the new Hue bridge.
Each bulb is 800 Lumens
And this is light strip plus
It is 78.7 inches long and it can be extended to 32ft.
So yeah you can add 4 more strips to this.
It produces 1600 lumen at 4200 kelvin and just like the bulbs it is dimmable and it can produce colors besides warm and cold white.
Now the setup is very easy, you just download the hue app and then you connect to hue bridge plug it into the ethernet
And then the lights start blinking.
you follow couple of easy steps and it is ready to light up your room.
As you can see I put the lights here for the demonstration.
One here, one here, one there and the strip is behind the table
You can name the bulbs, so I'd like to introduce them to you.
Hey Siri turn off the lights.
- OK. The lights are turned off.
Turn on Hugh Jackman
Turn on Hugh Grant
Turn on Hugh Laurie
Turn on Hugh Hefner
- OK the Hugh Hefner is turned on.
OK. Now, let's look at the HUE app.
These are your scenes.
You can choose any photo and use it to create your own scenes.
You can set individual colors and dim levels for each light.
If you like, you can group the lights in any way you like.
So the color you select for those bulbs will be the same.
And if you don’t want colors simply group them all together and pick a white tone you like
Or just pick red... red is good. red is fine.
As you can see I created this one for myself, has my own settings or you can use one of their Light Recipes
Which is Relax, Concenrete, Energize and Reading
When you scroll it up you can select the lights you want to be involved in this setting
And you just hit save.
For example, this is Sunset.
This is Drake. You used to call me on my cell phone.
If I tap on it and wait, I can go to these settings and edit it rename it.
And then you have your alarms and timers and as you can guess you setup an alarm or you can create a timer
And then there is Geofencing, which is fantastic. You leave your house without doing anything, without turning off the lights
And when you reach a certain distance, it turns off your lights and it sends you a notification saying the lights are turned off.
And when you're coming back -if you set these on- it will turn on the lights with the scene you picked
These are more apps for HUE and I advise you to read reviews before getting these 3rd party apps
Now, let's go to settings. This is my bridge. You can check updates, you can clean up, you can change the Time Zone.
And then my lights here you can rename your lights
You can add new devices which can be a hue tab switch or hue dimmer switch
When you go to my App, you can make these adjustments where you shake your device to randomize color while creating a scene
Scene sharing
Geofencing zone, small, medium, large, maximum
I'm using small and it is more than a block away.
And then Apple Watch, you can select 10 secenes to store in your watch.
Here is the app.
As you can see, these are the settings I have
Bidness time...
Normal...
Concentrate
And if you force push it, you can turn them all off.
And then Siri voice control, you select the names you want Siri to recognize.
And these are your notifications. Once you're done with them you can hit X and delete them.
You can also have your HUE settings in your notifications and quickly select a scene or turn the lights off.
And on top of that
MeetTheHUE.com here you can find scenes others created. And if you select a scene... Grammys!
It will set your lights to that scene. From the web page.
And if you like a setting, let's try this for example. Yeah this is cool.
And I want to keep this. I can hit keep the scene you just tried.
And as you can see the scene I added from their website is right here.
And of course the best part is using Siri. - Hey Siri!
Turn the lights off.
-OK. The lights are turned off.
You can use your watch.
Turn Hugh Jackman on.
Turn all the lights on.
You can adjust the brightness. - Dim the lights to %40
And then you can select your Scenes. - Set to Energize.
Oh by the way once you setup your lights, you don’t need to be connected to your wifi to control them.
You can be anywhere in the world and you can control your lights.
And of course there are other apps you can use as well. For example HUE Party
For example you can go into Motion. When I start moving my
Phone around... the lights start changing with it.
That is for people who think they hold fires and lights in their hands while they are dancing.
It also can listen to your voice. (or any sound)
And change the lights accordingly.
And now let's go into HUE lights, this is one of my favorite apps
Police
Now you may be wondering what maybe the difference between a philips lightstrip and a generic 20 dollar lightstrip.
One will hurt your eyes. And to show you which one, I’m going to show you a video of the lightstrips
