Earlier this year when I was in New York at the BlogHer Conference I learned about Philips Hue, a new line of lighting that I thought was really neat. The lighting consisted of palette of colors and the ability to control it from an app! I was tickled pink when I received a couple of the Philips Hue products to review.
I received the Philips Hue Go which is a portable and wire free smart light that is AWESOME! You can choose to plug in the light or carry it with you. It has a rechargeable battery that provides up to 3 hours of battery life. When you turn on the light there is a button that can click which change in between 5 patented “natural dynamic effects” including:
- Cozy Candle
- Sunday Coffee
- Meditation
- Enchanted Forest
- Night Adventure
Each of these effects has its own mix of colors to set the perfect mood. You also have the option of a warm white light and natural white light as well. I have always enjoyed burning candles to get that low lighting so my favorite is the Cozy Candle light effect but I have had fun using all of the lighting effects.
The Hue Go can do even more! With a router, the hue bridge and the Philips Hue app you can experience lighting in a whole new way. In addition to the Philips hue Go I also received the Philips hue White and Color Ambiance Starter Kit that includes 3 of the Philips hue A19 lightbulbs and the bridge that is necessary to make the magic happen.
With the smartphone app, some Philips Hue products and your Wi-Fi connection you can change the lighting in your rooms to your own mood-setting coloring schemes.
When using the Philips hue app you have a palette of colors available at your fingertips to make your rooms relaxing, festive, energetic and more! You can choose from preset light recipes or create your own. With 16 million colors available it is like being able to paint your walls with color without the paint!
Since a router is required to make the bridge connect with your products I also received the Netgear Nighthawk DST router that supports 10+ connected devices and has Geek Squad included. This is a brand new router that was exclusively developed between Netgear and Best Buy to provide consumers with an easy and all-in-one solution to support their home’s connected devices. This fancy router also comes with a “Dead Spot Terminator” adapter to help eliminate Wi-Fi dead zones and improve Wi-Fi access.
With my new Philips hue lighting there is no need to buy different white bulbs. I can choose from fine-tuned shades of white with the app or maybe go with a color from one of my favorite photos using the palette.
Lighting has never been so fun!
