This new lamp series, called Essential, is in the entry-level segment. I already have a lot of Philips Hue lamps. Installation is just as quick and easy as with all the other lamps I already own. What I've noticed is that the color range is less than the regular series, especially the color transition. Dimming is limited to 2% instead of 0.2%, and the color quality is slightly lower. That doesn't mean it's bad, but more because I can compare it to what I have. So, for entry-level or basic use, these are excellent lamps. They have at least the same features as the regular lamps. If you have the new Bridge Pro, these new lamps can also use Matter over Thread. The Essential lamps can then function as a kind of motion sensor. Based on the Zigbee protocol, the lamps detect movement and, for example, turn on when you enter a room. Very cool, and that's next on my list.

The Philips Hue Essential A60 E27 bulbs are truly fantastic. I added them to my Hue system in just a few minutes, and everything worked perfectly right away. The light is powerful and bright during the day, but can also be warm and atmospheric in the evening. The colors are vibrant and respond instantly via the app or voice.
A perfect addition to my existing Hue setup, exactly what you expect from Philips Hue!

After having previously experienced the Philips Hue G10 spotlights, it was now time for the table lamps. And I have to say, the Philips Hue E27 bulbs are a game-changer! Installation was simple – within ten minutes, the three bulbs were connected and renamed, and then it was time to play with the scenes and add them to my Google Home automations. What surprised me most was the quality of the light. From perfectly bright white for work to the most vibrant colors for the evening. The dimming and the scenes allow for any mood. But the real reason I love them? My kids! They love using the app to choose different colors or create a disco effect in the living room. It's really fun to see how much they enjoy the playful, changing lighting. Even with the Halloween scenes, it's been fantastic these past few days! Conclusion: This is more than just a lamp; it's a bit of coziness and fun in your home. Worth the investment!
