Philips Hue Smart Bulbs

“With the exception of a few vintage/European pieces that are sadly incompatible, we run a Hue exclusive home/office/shop. Lighting is a massively underrated element of focus from where we stand. Bad lighting can take you out of any task and the best lighting allows you to single in on the most mind numbing of administrative chore. This full suite of products (and we mean FULL, they have everything these days) let you, obviously, choose any color of the rainbow (16 million of them per the site) and dim to your heart's content — but they also let you choose 'scenes' and 'routines' that play out over the course of the day. You can schedule your lights to go from a bluer shade to warm yellow as the day rolls on, brighten a desk lamp for the three hour stretch you write during on Wednesdays or have your living room pulse red when it's time to get to work (not recommended).”

“I like my lighting diiim. I have a variety of the “soft warm white” bulbs on every light in my house that’s not on a dimmer switch. Easy to use, with a wide dimming range for those of us want custom control of the vibe.”

“Instantly set the mood in any light fixture. The app has pre-set ambiance’s or you can choose from a color wheel. I’ve scheduled it so the lights turn on when the sun goes down and turn off when it’s bed time. They also have specific blubs with a candle flicker setting.”
