I'm amazed at how easy it was to install, setup, and use the brand new Philips Hue Bluetooth enabled light bulbs. Watch me setup a colored, white ambiance, and white bulb to my iPhone quickly and easily using the new Philips Hue Bluetooth app. What other smart home devices should I try out? What other Philips Hue lights should I show off how to use? Tell me in the comments!!

Yes, the music is loud. Yes, I should have shot it in a darker setting 😅 I’ve learned my lesson! ua-cam.com/video/cBXqiqBbKL4/v-deo.html
Justin_tech are there a maximum users on 1 light bulb or can my whole family just connect to it on their phones?
I’m having problem connecting them with google home
Yeah one of the worst demos I've ever seen
I need that black canister lantern in my life, but the link is broke. +1 Like for an updated link please, please, please? :)
Waisted my time
Good video but the background music is too loud
Will keep that in mind moving forward! Thanks
@@Justin_tech no worries
It got annoying
Wassup shevon I’m tryna buy these how u like yours
Agreed on the music. Also the sunlight coming into the room drowned out the differences between the two white bulbs.
Sad when a lightbulb has Bluetooth and the Nintendo Switch doesn’t
SUPΞRSONIC 523 SERIOUSLYYYYY 😫
It does now!
@@FleaOnMyWiener yes I know that
😂
I don't care about any of the things. Music, etc.
You helped me immensely thank you.!!!
Great Job Justin! Thank you very much for this video it is exactly what I was looking for.
Super easy, super useful....this is the kind of video that I appreciate so much!!!
Great video, I have some questions:
1. In a dark room, just how dim can the bulb really get before the bulb completely turns off if you know what I mean, say with the white ambiance version?
2. Since you can set this up with Bluetooth, does your phone ALWAYS have to have bluetooth turned on for the bulb to function, or after you set the bulb and you have your ideal settings can you then have bluetooth off on your phone and the bulb will still turn on/off from your light switch with the settings you initially put?
3. You said it is also possible to connect the bulb to wifi, does it have to be 2.4 ghz or can you also connect the bulb to the 5 ghz network on your phone?
Thanks this really helped. I was going for clap on lights but this is way better.
Do I just need to buy the bulbs? Or the kit I have already 4” recessed light install
thank you!!! i got my boyfriend this as a gift and could not figure out how to set it up this was a huge help!
Yay! :)
Hey man. I can't find that light canister. The link you doesn't seem to match up with what you have displayed. Can you help?
Great job. I'm looking for to replace my pot lights. Does Hue carry a product
line that would be simple to interchange.
this helped me a lot !
Do these lights work as a sunrise “alarm”? Like can they fade in over the span of 30 mins?
do these light bulbs work well in outdoor string lights?
I can’t wait 😁
Do I need to have bluetooth ON or be connected to WiFi when changing colour of the lamp from the app?
Dude, why doing it on daylight? You're reviewing a hue bulb. I can't even appreciates the colors on it.
Exactly. Wtf was that?
Because that’s the hue line. Silly. I just ordered a four pack it came with white ones not sure If Amazon returners f’d me on that one or not but meg
Mwrrreehhhhhhh*
There were colors on it?
Great video. Thanks for the info!
Glad it was helpful!
Can you set up timers for these? Example turn on at 8am and then turn off at 830?
I really wanted to watch this, but I just couldn't with the music....
Does the power supply should be turned on/off ?? And also can we put off the light with the app?
Thanks for the review. The only downside with Bluetooth is that your limited to control it only when your within 30 feet of the bulb. Wifi bulbs can be controlled anywhere you have internet.
These bulbs are still WiFi ones. Just have the added Bluetooth ability
I have just set mine up with my echo so now where ever I am using the Alexa we can control it any we have internet
Is there a list of phones that can run the app? My Droid Maxx (old phone) is incompatible. But my Galaxy s6 is.
Hey does the Hue Bluetooth app work with Alexa? By the way, your music is too loud. It makes it hard to focus on what you are saying.
Yes the lights/app work with Alexa. A lot of people have been asking, so I’ll make a video on how to do it soon...sorry about the music! I know and I’m making sure future videos have better music levels. Stay tuned for more :)
I need the one with Alexa too. Thank thank you. From a great grandma in Virginia ♡♡♡
@@Justin_tech Not with my Echo 4th Gen, it just doesn't work. A video guide would be great.
Hi, Thanks for the review, can you please tell me Max how many Kelvin can I reach with the only white bulb? As I can see is kind of yellow color. Thanks in advance and have a nice day!
Good video. Wish u had included which app to download, how toe set timer and pair with Alexa.
Helpful video. Thanks and subscribed :)
Glad you liked it! Any other videos you would want to see me make? let me know!
PLEASE REPLY !!! I have the Bluetooth ones I can tell Alexa turn off or on but I don’t know how to set them up for alarms like 7am and the lights turn on can you please help
You are funny! So down to earth :) Thank you for the intel too
Why thank hue! ;)
@@Justin_tech aaaand don't forget, handsome too. ;)
How bright is the whife on tbe color model, looking to put 2 in my room and the main lightbulbs and would be set to white sometimes and colored other times, thanks.
800 lumens. They are bright. Brightness similar to most basic bulbs.
Can you use the google nest mini to use the light bulb? And do you have to leave the light switch on at the wall to be able to use it?
Yes you need to keep the switch turned on. You can use google nest mini :)
How do you set up the alarm with hue lights? (iPhone user)
Can you set it to light up when you receive phone calls on your phone?
I just switched all of my lights from LIFX to Phillips Hue and I don't think I've ever been happier. I will say, I miss the brightness of LIFX because let's face the facts, LIFX puts out more Lumens... It's brighter overall and there's no getting around that but Phillips Hue is no slouch and us easy to get used to with some eye training. I got the Light strips, 3 Play Light Bars, and 6 White and Color Ambiance bulbs. Love them!! I also got the Bridge and Remote. Still thinking about going back and getting one or two Go Lamps for floor accents. Idk yet. I love that I don't have any of the connection issues with the Phillips Hue bulbs that I suffered through with LIFX. The only thing that's a pain is the incredibly long update process for the bulbs which I have to do before each bulb will even think about working with SmartThings.
Rove McClain 💯 💯 💯
how to get it work with google home mini without a bridge?
I've just bought one of these to use with my Google home, due i need the hue bridge to work with my Google hub? I've got the light on but can't get my Google hub to connect to it
What kind of lamps you have to purchase to use these light bulbs ?
Will the timer work if your away on vacation
How do you know what kelvin you have when only seeing the circle?
Hi Justin, how can I add secondary users to my Philips Hue app please. This will enable them to make use of the full app while I am away from home.
Will it stay on when it looses connection or just turn off?
Oh - that’s awesome! Definitely getting some of these!
Hey! So if I hang these bulbs upstairs in my room and eventually connect them with my bridge, will they be able to connect to the bridge?
Noah Langenhuijsen yep!!
Great vid!
Thanks!!
Can you create room and zones in the bluetooth app?
Great video!!!
Thank you!! More Philips hue videos coming soon.
Justin, thanks for the video; even a year later. I have a question that is important hope you or someone who reads this can answer. I tried Philip's LIVE CHAT and they were worthless. I am considering getting three Hue White and Color for the 3 bulbs over my kitchen counter. They all work off one on/off switch. I know I have to install each manually. I'm not real tech savvy. My question is: once that is done and they are in: is there a way so that I can change the color and ALL THREE will change at the same time? Or do I have to do EACH bulb individually? Thanks much!
Yep yep! It's easy. This video will help you learn it all: ua-cam.com/video/XyJGGSudqYE/v-deo.html
@@Justin_tech Wow, THANK YOU, the set-up is very informative and clear. One last question so I can be sure. I only care about 1 thing: the 3 bulbs on one switch. Do I need to purchase a BRIDGE for that? Or can I run the 3 bulbs together as you showed without a bridge if there is only one switch being used?
Yes they will all work with the light switch, but I'd recommend getting the bridge if you want to do the more advanced settings and it you want to invest in Philips Hue switches for scenes. The normal light switch you have will cut the electric from the lights causing them to not be able to get controlled by the app.
are these bluetooth bulbs also hue bridge compatible (aka. via wi-fi) or not? I couldn't find answer to this anywhere
Rok Ljubi yes they are!
Are the lightstrips available with Bluetooth or can i expect them to be shortly?
No idea!
Great video other than the background music being a bit distracting :)
thank you! Yea I've been very aware of background music with future vids :)
*Do the bulbs need to be connected to a WiFi network?*
I bought a different coloured light and it wasn't bright enough are these bright to fill a whole room or only part of a room, please?
only part of the room. They do sell a white light that is very bright.
Doesn't the Color bulb do a fade mode where they slowly change color on it's own? , I have xiaomi smart bulbs all over my house and they costed be half the price than the philips one and they do so much more
Hey what if we disconnect the bluetooth or walk out of the range,will it remain the way it is or will it turn off?
They will stay on
I’m going to change all my bulbs in home just to get a full Philips Hue System, but I have a question. Are the color bulbs worth? I mean, do you really use them like in differents colors or something? I ordered 4 ambience and 4 color + ambience just to try and see if I can see a worth difference but anyway I really want to know the opinion from some one who really use them maybe the first days I’ll be happy changing the colors and that but, in a real life scenario you still using and exploding the color capabilities or just use a regular set up?
I think its worth having the color bulbs in certain areas around the home, but not everywhere! It's cool to have a splash of color in corners or hitting the wall or in lamps. Ceiling lights I think are overkill. I use a cool canister fixture (link in video description). I think it's cool to have one or two color bulbs in each room, but majority of lights should be ideally ambience white. I like having cool light during the day (wakes you up) and warm white in the evening. Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@Justin_tech thanks for the advice, was thinking the same think. I live alone and I think I need the hue and a schedule for my work schedule but this helped emencly.
Can you still set routines with the Bluetooth lights? Like slowly start lighting up in the morning before your alarm goes off
Yes you can.
@@silasseil7762 how?
@@silasseil7762 can you do it without a hub?
@@jojoboy222 no you need a hub.
@@jojoboy222 im doing it with the Alexa app.
Does the hue app track your location?
These lights only work for lamps ? or you can use them as regular ceiling lights?
They can be used in ceiling. There are some other bulbs they sell that could work well too
Do you need a hue bridge?
quick question, what is the hue bridge for? do i need it for app control?
The hue bridge allows you to create more scenes and routines with your lights. it also allows you to create rooms and zones for your lights so you can control multiple lights at a time and create scenes. Without the bridge, if your Hue lights work with Bluetooth, you don't need it. I recommend the bridge for everyone who wants more control - the bluetooth app is pretty limited and only allows up to 10 lights I believe.
@@Justin_tech oh thankyou so much for the explanation!
It helped me so much! Plus you are so cute
Yay I’m glad I could help 🙂
I switched phones and logged back in to the app but can make the bulbs to work. They won't pair again. Ugh
Are you able to turn light on and off even if you are not home? Or you need to be close to them so they work? Thanks for your answer.
If you have a hub you can control them from anywhere. If you’re using Bluetooth you need to be within range, about 35 feet
@@Justin_tech great. I do have the hub but can I include the Bluetooth bulbs to the hub so I can control them by it? Sorry for so many questions.
I bought 2 white and color ambiance bulbs with the blue tooth symbol in the top right and am in the app and it perpetually says connecting.
How do o set them up with no bridge and Google home??
Great another video about playing with your with your phone
My bridge isn’t finding my Bluetooth lights. Do you have a link to your video where you added it to your bridge?
The light cant be connected to the bluetooth app. So you need to delete from that app first.
Can I add these light in Apple HomeKit app directly(Without hue app or hue bluetooth app)? Does these lights come with HomeKit QR code?
You will need a Hue bridge to connect to Homekit.
Hello,
I have a problem. I have two bulbs connected to a Hue dimmer. I got today an extra white and color ambiance bulb that comes with the hue bridge. I was able to connect the hue bridge and created a room with it on the app, and it's all good. Problem is that I cannot connect my lights linked to the dimmer to my hue bridge I guess, because the lights appear in the app, but it says "Impossible to establish the link" (translated from french so legend in english could be slightly different). Also, when I try to add the dimmer in accessories a similar thing happens. Thing is that dimmer had been active much before the hue bridge. What could I do to add my lights connected to the dimmer (and the dimmer itself) to the rest of the room in the app? Any ideas?
Thanks for the video btw! :)
Hey there, I would reach out to Philips Hue - their customer support is great at getting back to people quickly!
Hey Justin, Could you tell me the difference between Hue Bluetooth and the Bridge ? Does the bridge have more addition ?
Yes! So the bluetooth bulbs will work with your phone and voice assistants (Google and Alexa). The bluetooth app only allows you to control one device at a time. The bridge opens your setup to even more possibilities (and I definitely recommend having one especially as your Hue lights increase). The bridge allows you to create rooms and zones for your lights so you can control a bunch of lights at a time. You'll also be able to set them up with Siri/homekit with a bridge. You'll also need a bridge if you ever get the Philips Hue Sync Box (ua-cam.com/video/cBXqiqBbKL4/v-deo.html). And lastly, the bridge allows you to connect your hue system to other smart home systems like Samsung Smartthings and Logitech Harmony which is important if you're trying to create an entire smart home. Hope this helps!
@@Justin_tech Very informative !! Thanks very much. I already have the Hue bridge with 4 bulbs. I do enjoy them. I asked as I thought the bluetooth ones do the same job as the bridge. But not, unfortunately. I am planning to increase my home with Hue lights. Thank you very much :)
Does philips still make the regular wifi ones or its bluetooth only now?
These work just like the originals, but now have the added Bluetooth ability. Lights were never wifi. They work with the bridge over Zigbee technology (another form of connection)
That's cool that Phillip hue did that but the problem is if you already have a Philips hue ecosystem in the bridge can support up to 50 bulbs, you're going to go the traditional route because it'd be more convenient, I think the Bluetooth bulbs is good for new beginners.
Can you group bulbs together for individual rooms?
Not with Bluetooth. You’ll need a bridge.
Can you set a schedule on the lights via bluetooth app?
g no, you will need a bridge for that. Link in bio!
what model is that?
would you recommend these for ceiling lights
Absolutely!
Seems like color loops are unavailable in bluetooth :( Correct ?
How do I connect my led lights to my phone without a bridge? Or do I need a bridge?
if they are bluetooth, download the bluetooth hue app. If they aren't, then you need a bridge.
What app did you use to setup for google assistance. I can't get my Bluetooth lights to connect to my google home....please help
You do this within the philips hue bluetooth app. Go to Settings > Voice Assistants > Google Home :)
@@Justin_tech it still doesnt work
@@zbhshaha6935 you may need to go over to the google home app and allow access or do something from there...i dont have a google assistant at the moment, so i dont have any other info for ya - sorry!
Could these light bulbs be used outside? Like on the front of a garage.
If those lights have standard bulbs already, I'm sure it's fine. Hue also makes some really great outdoor fixtures.
Works with HomeKit ??
I wish they gave more than just a color wheel where you had essentially hue and saturation as if we were in adobe photoshop or anything along those lines. The developers of the app were lazy to say the least and there's no grouping or "lock" feature to not change a certain light.
You just demonstrated lightbulbs during the day, smart!
Learned my lesson!
Can you have rgb and white with one light bulb and also can you connect them with Siri and one more thing do you need a Philips Hue bridge to connect them in a iphone
You will need the bridge to connect hue lights to Siri through Homekit. Yes, colored bulbs produce white and color.
i got a question if you forgot to turn off the lights and if your far from home. can this app turn it off even when your not home?
Yes it can. You will need a bridge to unlock that ability. Once set up, you can go to settings > out of home and setup your lights! :)
Is it possible to connect these bulbs to Philips Bridge and operate them with Apple Homekit?
Yep!
So you can just screw them into the lamps and they work right?
Yes, with the Bluetooth app. As long as you get Bluetooth supported bulbs.
curious why would you set up to the bridge if you don't need a bridge?
I like having my lights connected to the bridge for even more functionality - check out my latest Hue app walkthrough and you'd see why.
thank for the video but in the end to set up with my echo I have to say to it "discover" and find it I was able set up on my phone first but its all good now THANKS
Hey man. How can I turn on or off the lights when being away from home? Because lights can't be found when am away through app...
You need a hub. Won’t work over Bluetooth. Once you have a hub you need to create a Hue account on the main app
So can I leave the lightswitch on and turn off the hue bulb with the app and it won't waste power?
The light will always remain “on” even when it is off. But these bulbs Barry use any energy. Costs about $2 a year to run them.
Ours won't connect to bluetooth. They both had, until a system update somehow removed the app from the device so we had to redownload the app. Now Phillips Hue Bulb denies the pairing request. Any hints you can give us?
I have no idea - contact Philips Hue support on Facebook. They should get back to you in under 24 hours
Nice video Bro!! I have a question. Are yo using WiFi and Bluetooth to setup this lights or just using via Bluetooth and the app??
In the video I’m using Bluetooth, but I have the bridge, so i generally use all my hue lights over wifi
@@Justin_tech hi bro do you need the bridge for the bulb to work?
Can we turn on the bluetooth lights with voice control without bridge?
yes! its in the settings - alexa and google assistant supported.
my white ambience isnt connecting to my iphone. it sits in that purple screen that tells you to unplug bulb and wait. I tried that and it still never connected after a couple minutes of waiting. i also tried restarting everything and redownloading.
Alec DeContreras sane have you found a fix?
I’ve always been confused if you absolutely need to have wifi or not In order to use these? I’ve purchased bulbs before that state Bluetooth connectivity but require wifi as well 😑😑
Hey Justin. Can you just put these in any light? Looking to up my ceiling lights
Yep any socket a bulb goes into will work!
@@Justin_tech Do you think one is bright enough for a 3 by 3m room?
Quick tip. Do it in a dark setting 😉👍
Wanted to see the colour one in action but your head was in the way...also music was a bit loud. Thank you though and happy xmas..
How bright are these? Is one brought to light up one room?
They reach up to 800 lumens. They get brightest at white. I’d recommend at least 2 to light up a smallish room. Also depends on the fixtures, whether they let a lot of light in or not.
