In my mind, this product is ideal to put on a table by the side of your bed. Changing colors sets a nice mood. Turning lights off and on from your phone is handy. The biggest thing by far is setting it with your alarm so that it helps you wake up. It makes a big difference shining in your eyes and helps me get on track.
The build is nice and solid enough. My child dropped mine and the top popped off. I put it back on and we've been good to go. No big deal. Battery life isn't going to be incredible because it's a light—it burns serious power. But it works for a romantic outside date—maybe 1.5 to 2 hours depending on brightness. The button on the back is legitimately helpful. If I'm outside I might not be connected to wifi and don't want to only control from the app. So turning on and changing colors with a physical button is really handy.
It's quite bright. Totally sufficient for setting the mood in a bedroom or use as a reading light. Think something like a small beside lamp and you'll be on the right track.
Learn to have fun with it. Away on a trip I put on sappy red for my wife back home to let her know I was thinking of her. My kids like to pretend that they're on the moon finding martians (yeah, doesn't make sense) so changing the light to green on my phone tells them the martians are coming. Still, my favorite uses are setting a mood and waking up in the morning.
One small gripe. The charger cord has a funny bend so the light can stand up. That's all fine I suppose, but after only a year and mostly just beside my bed, it's fraying. I'm not sure how I would replace it without ordering from Philipps directly. So I'd like to see better construction there.
Overall, totally glad I got this product and recommend it without reserve.
