Hello everybody Have now been a few days the Philips hue Go here to get at an unbeatable price, and had time to test them adequately. First impression is quite positive: beautiful packaging, as always with Philips, the lamp also makes a high impression. Although plastic all around, but somehow it seems more noble than in the iris. I had the Go expecting a little bigger. The manual is ok, but my father would despair. In operation alone was very nice, all the colors are beautiful. The connection to my Hue Bridge went without problems of Equip, just like the connection to my LivingColors remote control. So far so good. Next, I tested the Go along with my diverse Iris (2nd and 3rd generation). Each color can be adjusted relatively easily on the remote control, the Go not always accurately represents the same color as compared to the iris. The Iris 2nd and 3rd generation here were always the same. When dimming the Go behaved like the Iris 2nd generation: they can be dimmed down to zero percent down, which at the Iris 3rd generation, for whatever reason, no longer works .. Next, I set the automatic color change on the LivingColors remote control, the slowest color change. Here, the iris of both generations behave exactly the same, while the Go arrives in the course from red to green much faster in green. The area of the Orange / Amber leaves left at the Go in automatic color change to clear wish. (Hence my question about the red-weakness here). After the Go Green as the iris changes identical until it arrives again at Orange / Amber. Same game. Next, I have the Go connected to my Hue & Ambilight App. I have a Philips TV 42PFL6057K. The colors are given as well as the back of the iris do, no problem. BUT: after exactly 80 minutes, the Go turns off. I had previously completed the night completely to the charger, it was thus completely loaded. This is very disappointing, but promises Philips 3 hours Run-time in the operating instructions. 80 minutes, so short is not a feature film and as short is not a football game. A battery-operated lamp should here clearly have more maturity, I think. 3 hours should be the minimum value !!! A word about the brightness: this is quite comparable to the iris, maybe it would have done to achieve 210 lumens to ensure longer term. Here again the advantages and disadvantages of the different lamps: Philips Iris 2nd generation: very nice, bright colors, can be dimmed down to zero, very quality remote control, 3 custom colors / gradients storable, Hue compatible Philips Iris 3rd generation: very nice, bright colors, can be dimmed only on about 50% down, only 2 request colors / gradients storable, color wheel not so wertig in the 2nd generation, Hue compatible Philips Hue Go: very nice, bright colors, can be dimmed down to zero, no remote control, gradients different from Iris, very weak battery, Hue compatible
I hope I have helped you a little bit with my little test MfG Chris
