According to our smart light expert
Discover the possibilities of smart lighting with the Philips Hue White Ambiance Starter Pack with Dimmer. This starter pack consists of 3 separate bulbs and a bridge. The light sources can be screwed into your existing lamps and the bridge connects them to your WiFi network. The Philips Hue app or the Hue remote control can be used to control the lamps. You choose the light color and the light intensity. When you dim the lights, the light color becomes warmer. This way, you can always create the atmosphere that suits the occasion.
Philips Hue lights are compatible with various smart home platforms, such as Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, IFTTT, and Apple HomeKit.

I was lucky enough to test the Hue White Ambiance for a month. The package I received contains 3 lamps, a remote control/switch panel and the bridge, to which everything is connected via WiFi. The installation takes a few minutes and is very easy. Most of the time is spent understanding the app. This is not always easy and efficient. For example, it is not possible to choose your own light scene in the widget, but only the pre-delivered scenes. Which means you sometimes have to turn on the right lighting via a detour. However, the app is very extensive, so you can set everything as desired.
The lamps are ideal for a multifunctional space. For example, I live in a studio, where I work, sleep, eat and spend my free time. Instead of buying different lamps to create the right lighting for every activity, I can just adjust my 3 large lamps with the Philips Hue lights and an app on my phone. I also use the lamps before getting up, because they can also work as wake up lights, which come on slowly in the morning.
Because everything is connected via WiFi, you can also control the lamps remotely. So if you forgot to turn off the lights, you can easily do that from work with the app. But there is also a function to automatically turn off the lights when you leave the house. It's just what you prefer.
In short, you don't know what you're missing if you don't try. I now use all kinds of functions, which I didn't think about before, but which have made my life much easier.

Nice system that you can easily expand throughout your house if you want. Highly recommended, especially the colored lamps, you get a real mood maker. It is all super easy to operate and set up via the app. Tip: you save on a dimmer if you buy these lamps, which may make the price a bit softer.

We have a historic 1933 house that does not have a toggle switch. This is easily solved by assigning 1 Hue ambiance lamp to the dimmer. Stick it at the bottom of the stairs with the supplied self-adhesive tape. The dimmer is in the wall holder with handy magnets and is easy to take upstairs in the evening. Maximum flexibility!
