What is the Philips Hue Connected Bulb?

The new Philips Hue Connected Bulb system allows users to control the colour of various light bulbs around house remotely using a smart-phone app.

The system operated wirelessly around the house, though you can use the app anywhere with an internet connection – meaning you can control your lights at home whilst being anywhere in world.

Users can change the tone of whites and different colours using the app, and set different colours for different rooms, mood schemes and much more.

It is possible to pull different colours from a photo, creating a mood based on a particular photo.

Important: to use the Philips Hue system you have to buy the start pack first. You cannot buy individual bulbs without first getting the equipment in the starter pack.
