Overview: The Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance A19 Starter Kit
(#563296) consists of four Wi-Fi
controllable LED bulbs and a wireless bridge. You can control the bulbs (turn on/off, dim/brighten, change color) via Bluetooth in a single room, or pair them to the Hue Bridge as part of a whole home smart lighting system. The Hue Personal Wireless Lighting system allows you to set up
light schedules, and control the lights when you\’re away from home. Additional Hue products can be added
to the system, up to a maximum of 50 bulbs and 12 Hue accessories that can be controlled by a single
bridge.

Hue Compatible Products: This Starter Kit not only works within the Philips Hue universe, but is compatible with many third party products, including many of the top voice assistants. Hue products work with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Cortana by Microsoft (bridge required). Using
simple voice commands, you can turn the lights on and off, dim or brighten the
lights, and set a light scene. In addition, other "Friends of Hue" include IFTTT (If This, Then That), Logitech, Nest, Xfinity, and SmartThings.

Light Bulbs: The four White and Color Ambiance LED bulbs included in this
Starter Kit can be used in standard light sockets (Edison E26 screw base). They
have an A19 form factor, and are 2.4" at the widest
point and 4.4" tall. The bulbs are rated at 10.5 watts and
1100 lumens, with a brightness equivalent to a 75-watt incandescent bulb. Each bulb has an estimated nominal lifetime of 25,000 hours, and up to 50,000 switching cycles. Inside the bulb is a wireless interface that allows
you to choose from up to 16-million colors, or change the color temperature of the light from warm white to cool daylight (2200K to 6500K). The internal software is automatically upgradable when connected to the Philips Hue bridge. The bulb
has a beam angle of 160° (±20°), and instant 100% light output at startup.

Bridge: The Hue Bridge 2.1 is the heart of the Philips Hue
system, and can be wall-mounted or placed on a
desktop. It connects to your router via the included Ethernet cable, and
communicates wirelessly to your smartphone or tablet and the Hue lighting
products. It operates on the 2.4GHz band (2400-2483.5 MHz), and Zigbee Light link protocol, and
comes with a AC adapter with a 5V 1A DC output. Dimensions: 3.58" x 3.58"
x 1.0".

Hue Personal Wireless Lighting: The Hue Personal Wireless
Lighting System lets you individually control the lighting products in the
system using your smartphone or tablet. Three types of Philips Hue lights are
available: White and Color
Ambiance (this starter kit), White Ambiance, and White. Through the Hue app, and with the right Hue products, you can do the
following:

• Paint With Light: You can choose from 16-million colors
  to light, or change the look of, your room. Your favorite light settings can
  be saved for later recall. (Requires Color Ambiance bulbs)
• Sync Lights With Movies, Games, or Music: The lights can be
  synchronized to change with the scenes in a movie or video game, or pulse to the beat of
  your music. (Third party apps may be required.)
• Create An Ambience: The app lets you use different
  shades of white or color light to create an ambience. The bulbs can produce shades of
  light from energizing cool daylight to relaxing warm white light, an virtually any color you desire.
• Light Mood Presets: Preset light moods let you
  instantly change the lights in the room to fit the moment. Optimal settings
  are available for reading, relaxing, concentrating, and energizing.
• Wake Up: Gradually increasing light intensity helps to
  gently wake you up with light, similar to the natural light of the morning
  sun.
• Light Schedules: The lights can be programmed to come
  on and go off at a preset time, including lighting rooms at different times.
  At night, you can let the lights turn off gradually, so you don\’t have to
  worry about leaving lights on.
• Remote Lighting Control: When you\’re away from home,
  you can turn lights on or off from your smartphone. You can also check the
  status of your lights when you\’re not there.
• Geofencing: When the bridge detects that your
  smartphone is within a certain distance, it will automatically turn lights
  on or off. For example, as you approach your house, your lights will
  automatically turn on so you won\’t have to enter a dark room. (Third party
  apps may be required.)

Philips Hue App: The Philips Hue app, when used with the Hue Bridge, gives you full home control of your Philips Hue lights. Within the full Hue Lighting System, you can set timers and schedules, control lights away from home, set wake-up and go-to-sleep routines, and sync the lights to your music, movies, and video games. Additional Hue products
can be added to the system, up to a maximum of 50 bulbs and 12 Hue accessories that can be controlled by a single
bridge. Bluetooth control has been incorporated into the Philips Hue app, allowing control of up to 10 Bluetooth-compatible Hue products from within the room. The app is available for Apple devices running iOS 14.0 or later, or for Android devices running Android 10 and up.

Bluetooth Control: The bulb is Bluetooth-compatible, allowing you to control the light from the room without the Hue Bridge. Up to 10 Bluetooth-enabled lights can be controlled from your smartphone or tablet from up to 30 feet away. You can turn the lights on or off, dim or brighten the bulb, and apply Light "recipes" for everyday tasks. You can even control them with your voice through the Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. Bluetooth control requires the Philips Hue app.

Voice Control: The Hue A19 bulb can be controlled by voice commands through your favorite Voice Assistant. The lightstrip is compatible with Siri (Apple HomeKit), Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant.
