Buying call

This is the bulb most Hue homes are built on, and the 1100 lm version fixes the old complaint that color bulbs were too dim to read by. Zigbee plus Bluetooth means it works from the phone on day one and gets far better with a Bridge. Color is rich, whites are clean, and dimming goes very low. It costs more than Wi-Fi bulbs, and you really want the Bridge.
