Have you seen these new Philips Hue lights yet? If you are looking for a great home upgrade, this is it. You never really think about how the lights may effect your mood, but they DO. Not enough light… sleepy, wrong shade for reading… tired eyes, etc.. Having the ability to change the lights to whatever you want? AWESOME.
And that is exactly with Philips Hue lights do.
Installing the Philips hue Starter Kit was SO easy! You just take our your current bulbs and screw in the hue Bulbs. Connect the hue Bridge to your router, download the app, and you are set! Literally. That is it. They have literally HUNDREDS of color options, if you can think of a color, you can get it. It’s pretty sweet.
Plus they have the hue Go, you simply plug it in to use, or when charged you can move it wherever you want!! You get about 3 hours of rechargeable battery life and with the hue Go there are five built in colors. When you connect with the Philips hue App and a hue Bridge you get access to ALL the colors. Talk about the ultimate nightlight!!
You are going to want to make sure you have a great router too, and I was given the opportunity to checkout the Netgear® Nighthawk™ DST Router and DST Adapter and wow, HUGE difference in speed and connectivity throughout the house. Even in parts of the house where the connection was previously “sketchy”, it is now awesome.
The Netgear® Nighthawk™ DST Router and DST Adapter with Geek Squad included (new and exclusively at Best Buy) comes with the complete package. If you have Wi-Fi Dead Zones that affect streaming, gaming, and connection to your devices, you want to check out this new Netgear® Nighthawk™.
Netgear® Nighthawk™ DST Router and DST Adapter
- The AC1900 includes one DST (Dead Spot Terminator) Adapter to eliminate Wi-Fi dead zones. (Our router is in the basement so we plugged the adapter in upstairs in the living room)
- High-performance router built to support 10+ connected devices.
- Ability to prioritize devices for streaming videos or music.
- Advanced features for lag-free gaming.
- Geek Squad Set Up and Support via phone and web, for one full year! This service allows you to call or get help 24/7 whenever you want, instead of scheduling an appointment.
Having a good router is really imperative for this whole system though, because you want to be able to control it all through your app anywhere in the house. Speaking of the app…
Philips hue App
- Get full functionality of the Philips hue app when connected to the Hue Bridge so you can adjust colors, set timers, notifications, alarms, geofencing and more.
- Select from preset light recipes like Sunset, Beach, Blue Rain, Pencils, Relax, Energize, and more. You can also create your own with 16 million colors. Love taking photos? Create and save scenes using your favorite photos as palettes so you can enjoy those colors whenever you want.
- You can set the hue lights to Reading, Relax, or Energize to get the color of normal bulbs as well.
Yes, you read that correctly…. 16 million colors. WOW right?!!
