I went ahead and sprung for this set because of the Philips hue ecosystem. I was very excited about all the different products they offered. Two days after I set up three of the light bulbs, one bulb failed to connect to the system. I tried everything recommended such as resetting the bridge, resetting the bulb, deleting everything and reconnecting, etc. nothing worked so that's a bad first impression and I'm not spending any more money on this system. My much cheaper Wiz smart bulbs have worked flawlessly for 2 years. Hue is going back.
