Hue lamps for a friendly price.

Fits Hue bridge
Zigbee
Light color differs slightly from original Hue lamps

Great lights for a reasonable price. They fit the Hue Bridge. They can also be controlled via Bluetooth and the Hue app.

The color differs from the original Hue lights. It's noticeable if you place them right next to each other. Otherwise, it's not a problem.

Review is 10 out of 10.

I'm happy with it!

Cheaper alternative
Beautiful light
All Hue features available
Light composed of different "points" - slightly less even than the original (when you look into the lamp)

Installation was a breeze, and the lights respond quickly via the app. The light is beautifully bright, the colors are vibrant, and it's easily dimmable. For this price, you get a surprisingly high level of quality and the same smart features as the original Hue bulbs. Perfect if you want Hue lighting without breaking the bank: a top-notch and affordable alternative!

Review is 9,7 out of 10.

Very good alternative for the expensive standard Hue lamps

Much cheaper than 'standard' Hue GU10
Light strength more than sufficient
More than enough dimmable
With 'standard' Hue lamps, the colours of the different LEDs are mixed better

I hardly notice any difference between the Essential bulbs and the much more expensive standard bulbs. In fact, the only difference I notice is that the colors of the various LEDs in the standard bulbs blend better when they're emitted from the fixture. With the Essentials, you sometimes see the different colors of the LEDs instead of just one solid color.
