TheВ Lux bulb will still work with the newer Philips Hue Bridge, so if you already have Lux bulbs, you can still use them with a newer setup without a problem. IfВ youвЂ™re in the market for a Hue bulb that only does soft white, thereвЂ™s almost no reason to get a Hue Lux bulb instead ofВ the newer Hue White, unless you can find it for cheaper. (Some folks have noted that they seem to put out less heat, too.) The Hue Lux bulb is an older bulb that has officially been discontinued.В The Hue Lux isВ essentially the same as the newer Hue White bulb, albeit with a slightly different shape and a slightly lower light output.

You can also buy a starter kitВ with Ambiance bulbs, which containsВ a Hue Bridge, two Hue White Ambiance bulbs, and a Hue Dimmer Switch.

Its price point also sits comfortably in between, at $30. It doesnвЂ™t allow you to change to different colors, but it does change temperatures from a warm soft white to a bright day light. This is PhilipsвЂ™ latest Hue bulb, which after much anticipation, is finally available to buy.В The Hue White Ambiance sits between the Hue White and Color bulb and the Hue White bulb. However, the Hue White Starter Kit is a whole $120 cheaper than the Hue White and Color Starter Kit, making it a great option for frugal shoppers, as well as those who donвЂ™t really need the fancy colors.
