The installation verlieft smoothly despite rather poor documentation and installation instructions. Nevertheless, a more accurate and Clearly designed installation instructions would have been desirable (for all who can not do anything with technology). Of course, this should not be an obstacle to buying.
It is not so easy to find the right lamps in which you want to use the three pears, but the selection of lamps but some cost me to time the bottom line I'm happy with my choice.
First, I have the original Hue app loaded from Philips down and see my lamps was no problem and you're able .... I thought at least ..... Here it appeared to me behind the lamps an exclamation point, and so I could not start at first a lot. "Lights are probably unreachable" so spoke the app to me but what this should mean for now ??? Again, I did not have a reading in the troubleshooting was .... am Well then after a little pondering himself came up with the solution because the lights need a closed circuit that is, the light switch must always be set to "ON" so are the app may be starting the play of colors.
First, I must mention that I addition to this starter set another Bloom, the Stripes and 2 Living Colors (even this may be in the Hue Bridge with problems to program) with use.
After the minor teething problems I could see the color of my new violence lights get to know and I have to say that these lights it really in itself. Abwinken colors to and for every mood and for every type would have here something to be there. The app allows one to save his favorite color and if desired even insert still an appropriate photo (light app icon). Thus arise 1000s possibilities of a color combination that can enlighten the apartment in all colors.
But what is negative I noticed, is the color depth and the intensity of the lamps. Unfortunately, I do not like the green at the lights (as opposed to Bloom, Stripes and LivingColors). The color depth leaves to be desired in my eyes very left that green is rather weak and boring. Just in the colors yellow and turquoise. Here would rectify Philips in my eyes the lamps anyway because the other products dominate the colors easily and see there, also great.
Summary:
+ A variety of color options
+ Easy to install and operate
+ Elevates mood
- Expensive to buy
- Colors in the colors green, yellow and turquoise rather bad
- Lack of or poor documentation
To give all in all a great possibility of his apartment a certain pizzazz. Unfortunately, the lamps are very expensive and only the acquisition of Lamps in the starter is not enough in my eyes.
You definitely need additional objects (Bloom, Living Colors).
Should you, however, opt for this system you will be guaranteed not disappointed and will certainly have a lot of joy to the colored lights :-)
