I hesitate to take you down the rabbit hole since there are a lot of ways to get lost and confused, but if this helps, this is how I set up my light to be a night light: When I got home, I did some searching and found some available online but I didn't order any or do any research on whether any of the ones I saw were any good. I don't have any specific recommendations, I only saw some at Menards. That, or the Go, which on another forum someone took photos of to show that it's much, much dimmer than the Bloom. I think a Hue Colour bulb in a suitable lamp/lamp shade is best, as Sleepy's suggested. The only advantage is that it can go on the floor and is easier to cover with a cloth or something. It doesn't quite do the nice soft orange the Hue Colour bulbs do. It's brighter than the normal Hue bulbs when fully dimmed! The colours are also very artificial looking and you can see the individual LEDs - it's either a plasticy red or, to mix the colours for orange, the green LED becomes visible.
A $100 ‘bowl of light’ may not be at the top of everyone’s needs list, but it could definitely prove a useful addition to existing Hue setups.Any links? I've only found one bird-shaped orange night light, now on Thanks.įWIW I've got the Bloom and might send it back. by the end of May or the beginning of June, which is a good deal considering the cost of standalone sunrise simulation wake-up lights. It’ll retail for $99.95 when it goes on sale at Apple Stores, Best Buy and Amazon in the U.S. It’s also compatible with third-party Hue apps, and can be included in any scenes you program using your Hue app and existing Hue system.
#HUE GO VS BLOOM LUMENS PORTABLE#
Overall, it’s plenty bright for most cases where you’d be using a portable lighting solution anyway, especially given that this isn’t a work light designed for the workshop, for instance. The Hue Go can output at up to 300 lumens when plugged in, but cuts it to 40 percent brightness when used unplugged to maximums battery, which gives you a pleasing but dim kind of ambient lighting. It also has the ability to act as a gradual wake-up light when plugged in on a bedside table, mimicking a gradual sunrise with alarm functions programmed through the Hue app. It’s very handy for exploring deep closet corners, for instance, or for providing a bit of patio lighting that marries a nice ambiance with decent visibility. In practice, the Hue Go is a useful utility light for any scenario where you need a moderate amount of omnidirectional lighting. The portability aspect offers freedom from fixed installation points, however. It’s a semi-spherical gadget encased in translucent hard plastic, capable of outputting light of any color just like the primary Hue bulbs, as well as a range of white tones. The Hue Go resembles some of Philips existing efforts to create companion accent lights separate from its connected bulbs, like the LivingColors Iris and Bloom, but with the unique feature of a built-in battery. The Hue Go has a single button that offers local control over light tone and dynamic effects, as well as a low power standby mode and auto dimming to maximize usage on the go.
#HUE GO VS BLOOM LUMENS FULL#
Philips has a new addition to their Hue smart lighting system: The Hue Go, a portable light that packs three hours of use on a full charge before it needs to be plugged in again.
