Philips Hue Essential Smart LED A19 Bulb – White & Color, 4-Pack
The Philips Hue Essential line brings the full Hue color experience to a more accessible price point. This 4-pack delivers 800 lumens per bulb across a wide 2200K–6500K color temperature range, plus the full 16-million-color palette. The new Essential branding reflects a slightly simplified feature set compared to the flagship line, but in daily use the differences are negligible. Over 4,000 units sell monthly on Amazon, and the per-bulb cost of roughly $13.50 makes this the most affordable way to outfit an entire room with color-capable Hue lights.
