Philips hue can be setup in minutes. The intuitive app allows you to remotely control your home lighting to help secure your home, personalize your home lighting experience with custom settings and program timers to help manage your daily schedules, all through the convenience of a smart device. An intuitive and seamless system, Philips hue is upgradeable and future-proof, with the potential for more features to be downloaded and enjoyed in the future.


This is a really cool idea with a lot of possibilities, but this is limited by expense and LED lighting. The bulb here is rated at 600 lums, or compared to about a 50 watt incandescent bulb, and priced at $60 each. That's not much light from a single bulb. A starter pack is required that includes a required LAN bridge and three bulbs for $200. That's not at all practical, but more solutions should be coming to market soon.

The Philips Hue system goes on sale today at Apple's online and retail stores.
