This new lamp series, called Essential, is in the entry-level segment. I already have a lot of Philips Hue lamps. Installation is just as quick and easy as with all the other lamps I already own. What I've noticed is that the color range is less than the regular series, especially the color transition. Dimming is limited to 2% instead of 0.2%, and the color quality is slightly lower. That doesn't mean it's bad, but more because I can compare it to what I have. So, for entry-level or basic use, these are excellent lamps. They have at least the same features as the regular lamps. If you have the new Bridge Pro, these new lamps can also use Matter over Thread. The Essential lamps can then function as a kind of motion sensor. Based on the Zigbee protocol, the lamps detect movement and, for example, turn on when you enter a room. Very cool, and that's next on my list.
