Lights up my world

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 April 2015

I've been using this little rechargeable bowl of light both as a stand alone light and with the philips bridge that I already owned. As a standalone light I like it, but I really love it once used with the bridge which allows me to unlock its full potential.

Out of the box it's quite simply a beautiful bit of design. There's a lovely simplicity about it, it can be used either in tilted or bowl position and controlled via one button at the back if you are using it without a bridge. By itself you can use seven preset light moods and program it to turn off by itself. It's brighter when plugged in, but once charged you can use it wherever you want, inside or out, for a whole three hours before the charge runs out. It's a great centre piece for an outdoor dinner or relaxing bath side companion. The light sheds quite a large arc (to give you an idea of size the diameter is just above 14cm) and it's just really beautiful to look at as it changes subtlety through shades of blue or green or any of the 7 preset colours and the build quality is great.

As I've already said using it with the bridge (NOT supplied) is a lot of fun. There are plenty of free apps to complement philips own which allow the lamp to become a disco light which reacts to sound and keeps time to the music, an alarm, colour changing mood light or to wake you up. There are, literally, millions of colours and probably hundreds of things you could use the hue system for. Via my phone I can turn the light on and off and adjust the brightness, matching the light to any colour I wish.

All in all this light seems a step forward from previous hue lamps, especially if you have a bridge. The range seems quite good and I can pair it from upstairs with no issues and it hasn't dropped out when transported around the house, shedding light wherever it goes. I would remove a star for the fact that this is not supplied with a bridge but I think even without it this light is just a fantastic piece of stylish kit. It's a delight to own and just has a lot of potential. An indulgence maybe, but it makes lighting up the world however and wherever you want possible and it works brilliantly well. I love it.

ETA - a while on from writing this, I still love it, so much so that I've bought a second lamp - it's well and truly part of my home lighting. It works with the new bridge and can now be used with apple home.

Brilliant colour output - Portable mood lighting - GREAT BUY!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 December 2015

This is Philips' latest entry in their Hue range.

It's definitely one of the best in their recent range of wall-wash lights and ambience enhancing lighting products. Of course it's also easy to setup and sync with your Hue system.

I already own bulbs, lightstrips and a bloom but wanted more around the room (especially when gaming). I'd considered the Iris before settling on the 'Go'. My reasoning is the Go has the highest lumen output between the three lamp-style products, and has access to the full spectrum of colours (incl. Warm white/Cool white)

**So for reference, Go lumens is 300, Iris is 210 and the Bloom has 120**

So what is the Hue Go?
The Go is a portable and rechargeable mood light, it takes 1.5hrs to charge and will allow up to 3hrs use unplugged. Worth noting, if the light isn't connected to a Hue system - portable brightness is set to 40%, this can be overridden via the Hue app but will affect duration. Of course you can have it plugged in just like any other Hue lamp and enjoy 100% all the time instead.

You won't be able to light a whole room with just one of these, but it definitely can get bright enough for one corner whilst your other Hue lights take care of the rest - can even go under a coffee table =P

Positives:
- Can be operated without Hue bridge, has a button on device for easy use. (Basic functionality without)
- Portable/Rechargable can be used anywhere.
- Amazing colour reproduction, much better than previous generation Hue products.
- Super bright, lumen capability is higher than other Hue lamps (Not bulbs though!)
- Light is dispersed very well.
- Power cable can be detached to feed through places for neater lines.
- Can be placed tilted or flat like a bowl.
- Perfect size to have on bedside table as a wake up light.

Negatives:
- Poor power socket placement on device. Located on base so you need to have the bendy cable at an angle. This could affect stability but is NOT a deal breaker!
- 3 hrs battery ok for me, maybe not enough for some.
- Plastic build all over, the Bloom has ceramic outer shell.

(**TIP: You can keep this plugged in with no degradation to battery!! Philips have already confirmed via their Twitter feed, so feel free to choose this over the Blooms)

I absolutely love these Hue Go lamps. Highly recommended because you get all the benefits of the older Iris and Bloom lamps, with the latest Philips innovations to stay up-to-date!

I was surprised how good it was

I've become more than a bit addicted to my Phillips Hue setup and had held off on buying a 'GO' for a while. It seemed a bit overpriced for what it appeared to be and I thought I'd be better off with the lamps, iris and lightstrips.

However I finally took the plunge and bought one of these - I wish I had gotten it sooner! This is probably my favourite of the bunch.

First impressions were that it was smaller than I thought it'd be and was worried that the brightness when not charging would be disappointing. However waiting until it got dark and adding this to the mix - I couldn't believe how bright it was! On full brightness it's almost too much but it's impressive glow is noticeable whether it's bright or dull. It produces all of the colour wheel pretty nicely and can be orientated to face upwards or at an angle to accent a surface. Carrying it around is easy and it becomes so flexible - put it on the coffee table, put it on the bedside table, the kitchen.. take it to the bathroom! It just fits every job - I almost wish I had about 4 of them!

The only downside is the battery life. The box claims 3 hours on a full charge but I feel I've gotten a bit under this. Either way it's disappointing when the battery dies and it needs to be charged again. It's not a big enough problem to dissuade anyone from purchasing, but is the main limitation of this light. That said it still works perfectly fine when plugged in, so it really just depends on how you use it.

A great portable light.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 November 2015

I bought this to use in the bathroom when bathing my 1 year old daughter before bed as the overhead light was far too bright. I already own and use the Philips bridge with other lights in the house and thought this would be a useful addition.

It's a well made item but be warned that the construction is plastic, not glass as it may appear in the photos. As with all the other Philips Hue products it has the option to show almost any colour possible, all controlled from your smart phone. If you don't have the Philips bridge, it can be used without it (but functionality is more limited). There is a button on the back that when pressed will cycle through some pre-determined colours and brightnesses. The last option will actually see the unit cycle through a range of colours on it's own.

One thing I have noticed is that the battery drains even when it's not in use. When you press and hold the back button to turn it off (or use the app on your phone) it goes into a 'standby' mode (so it can still be controlled by the bridge software on your phone etc), which means if you leave the light disconnected from the mains charger it will run out of power in a day or so. I found this out after I charged it for my daughter's first bath, we only needed it for about 10-15 minutes then afterwards I held the power button and the light faded away. I used it again the following day and it was fine, but by the third day it was completely dead. Just bear this in mind if you plan to use it away from a power supply for long periods of time. On the flip side of that argument, it does charge quickly - plugging it into the mains supply for 30 minutes or so gave plenty of charge to the device, but there isn't any way to find out the battery level (as far as I'm aware).

My last niggle is that it's also difficult to have the light sat on it's side and plugged in at the same time due to the charging cable. When it's plugged in you will have to leave the light facing up towards the ceiling.

What would make this light a 5 star item would be if it came with a wireless dock to charge it. Then you could easily move it around when you needed to without having to faff about with unplugging cables. Unfortunately as it stands the wires actually make it more difficult to use and essentially remove the option for it to be a directional light while plugged in. It's battery (only lasting 3 hours) means you would constantly be connecting and disconnecting it to use it as a regular light.

Great Product

I bought two of these while they were on offer and have one each in the lounge and bedroom. I have been upgrading to smart lighting anyway so already had the Hue bridge which you DO need to get the full functionality of these. Unless you are going the smart lighting route in full, these are probably not what you need in terms of stand alone lamps. They work without the bridge but the functions are limited. The design is very simple and if you plug the cable in correctly, these are perfectly stable on a flat surface. It's not difficult to work out how the cable needs to be attached.

I have been very happy with these lamps. With the full range available they can light up very bright on the bright white setting and easily light the whole room. I tend to keep them on a lower warm white setting which is comfortable for most activities. They are integrated with my Echo dot so are easily voice controlled to turn on and off effortlessly and the Hue app offers even greater flexibility with set routines for leaving and returning home, wake up and sleep routines and automatic on/off when leaving or returning home. I have my bedroom one set with wake up routines and it very gently increases light in the room which never fails to wake me just before my alarm.

I anticipated these would always be plugged in, but a recent power cut meant these were extremely useful on battery mode. They provide ample light on battery and we had no issues for the hour and half we used them for. I have not had need to use them any longer than that on battery mode so cannot say for how long they would have actually lasted.

I admit these are expensive at full price as is all the Hue range, however at the offer price and with a 10+ year life expectancy along with other smart lighting products and what they offer, I consider this money well spent.

Let down by position of charging, but produces good light. Good that its portable, expensive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2018

Hue system is fantastic but this item lets it down a little bit.

The charging for this portable light is poor, you cannot stand the device up as per the pictures because the cable hangs out.
Apart from that the light itself is good, however sometimes my hue systems says this device is off. I press the button on the back to turn it on, then I use the app to turn it off. Few hours latter when I want to use the app to turn it on, it doesn't because it either runs out of battery or doesn't turn on. I have to go press the button again on the back to turn it on.

I think for the price this needs to be a lot better. That being said, the light it produces is very good, feels like a solid build and it does look good and it is portable, even though battery life isn't that great. Least the cable and charger is light and can be moved to different rooms for charging quite easily.

Best ambient lighting solution by Philips

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2018

It's probably the best ambient lighting solution by Philips I can see. It's brighter than a Philips Bloom, diffuses light gently under the light, and has a battery making this thing portable! Arguably, the design is either better or worse. Other than that, it sits behind my two monitors and creates a nice backlight up the wall and ceiling for long computer use sessions and gaming. Helps with the eye strain.

It also makes my room in particular look more cozy, as this works alongside my lamp to deliver a nice, warm evening light.
My parents use this downstairs and have it tucked next to the sofa to also create a nice ambient light.

The product features one button which the Bloom doesn't have which allows you to control it without the app. While yes, the app will unlock more features and functions of this light, this light doesn't make it feel like the app is a necessity. It comes pre-loaded with custom lighting presets, and can colourloop. You can even use the button to stop the colourloop on a specific colour you like.

It also comes with a charger cable which can keep the light on indefinitely. This is if you wish to use it as some sort of permanent lighting solution like me. :)

Fantastic addition to the Hue family - warning though, highly addictive!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 August 2015

Verified Purchase

I have to admit I am hooked on Philips Hue. I purchased the starter set of three bulbs and a bridge from Amazon some time back (keep an eye out for the Lightning deals) and loved the effect. You can have normal white light for when you want it then subtle shades to complement your decor and, for appropriate times, go for it with an app such as Hue Disco for the full effect.

Once I purchased the starter kit the addiction set in. First though was that now we have colour changing lights it would be good to get rid of the magnolia walls and change to matt white. OK - 2-months of decorating later and I had smooth, white walls which benefited the Hue lights. Of course 3 was never going to be enough so more changes with matching upright floor lamps and an enclosed, globe type, ceiling light. Not to stop there - perhaps a few Hue Blooms and Iris's would go well and off you go, more and more!

I do like the system though - add a Hue Tap for the rest of the family to use and you have a great system that is also designed to last for years with low energy LED too.

When the Hue Go came out I thought I would give it a try to light up a dark corner and it does exactly that. Plugs in and links to your Bridge without fuss and provides a nice, subtle, light. Of course the key benefit with the Go is the fact that when you need it to be portable (summer evenings with a BBQ perhaps) then you unplug it and it is always ready with charge so you can use outside. Even if you don't have the Hue Bridge you can still press the single button in succession for different colours and brightness.

I have added this to my wish list for further Lightning deals and will surely buy more when appropriate. Overall, highly recommended.

Great Versatile Modern Lighting System

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 December 2016

We bought this lamp along with three Hue lightbulbs and a bridge recently, to be able the change the light setting in some rooms and change the ambience when required. We also bought a Philips BRIDGE which is a little modem like device that means you can control all your Hue items from one point. I use my iphone and my Ipad. You can set the lamp and the bulbs to a huge array of colour shades, but Philips has also helpfully provided a pre-set colour selection. So, for example, when I need a bright light in my office (I work from home) I use the 'concentrate' option, but once I've finished working (or concentrating, or I should be...!) I set it to relax. You can also use your own photos to set a colour - so for example, choose a flower or a sunset or holiday photo that you really like the colour of, and it will set the bulb/lamp to a matching colour - clever! The other really useful thing that we have found is you can turn the lights on remotely. So if you are out and about and haven't already got timers on your lights, you can turn them on when you want. Nice to be greeted by the perfect light set up when you get home. Yes, they are not cheap, but they will last for ages, and use minimal power so 5/5 for me!

These are my favourite lights from Philips

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 November 2016

Using the free Philips app, we have automated these lights to add value into a variety of places in our home.

(1) In our toddler's room:

We use this as a toddler night light (dim-blue) and for evening dress time (warm-but-bright-white), for their storytime (transitioning from warm-but-bright-white to a red ) and bedtime (which starts as a more-illuminating blue and moves towards a dim-blue for bedtime).

We use it to simulate a sunrise to let him know when to get up.

It stays on for another hour, giving the kids time to get dressed and head down to breakfast.

(2) In the dining room:

We find this creates a more personal warm-yellow lighting scene for dinner times, rather than using the ceiling lights. We keep it on all evening and have it fade out when it's time to go to bed (because I struggle to get to bed on time).

In the morning, this light also creates a sunrise while our teenager has breakfast.

The various scenarios may sound onerous or regimental, but the scenes happen naturally and transition gradually, feeling very natural.

I honestly can't recommend these lights highly enough.
