Serious question?
The scope of delivery includes 3x GU 10 base lamps (standard size)
1x the bridge
1x the dimmer switch
Hi Jasmin
You need to connect the bridge directly to the wifi router as a priority. Then check whether the bridge can control the bulbs.
If this is not possible, you will need a repeater with several ethernet ports so that you can connect (at least) the bridge to them. Then check the range of the bridge (depending on the size of the flat).
As far as the repeater itself is concerned, you need to test between a PLC repeater (power line carrier). Basically, you plug it into an electrical socket (which MUST be on the same phase) and it should pick up the WiFi signal. Practical but not always stable!
Or think about an "extension" of the wifi network ("mesh" network).
hoping this helps ... a little
Hello,
I'm not a specialist, but the only difference I see is the power whatts (9W vs. 10W).
good day
BT means Bluetooth, you can change colour and brightness with your app and wouldn't need a Philips Hue Bridge.
The set with three bulps without BT is from another seller (Pfister), not directly sold by Galaxus. Maybe that's where the difference in pricing is comming from.
On the other hand you can also buy a set with three bulps with bluetooth
https://www.galaxus.ch/de/s14/product/philips-hue-white-color-ambiance-bt-e27-9w-leuchtmittel-11235542, which is also more expensive, so Galaxus prices aren't always that understandable anyways...
I ordered this kit last Friday and it actually says 9W on the box. It also says Bluetooth and Zigbee support on the box. From that I assume it is the 5th gen.
Due to the change in the efficiency classes a few years ago, both details are often still displayed:
Energy efficiency class until 2020: A+
Energy efficiency class from 2021: G
The 1s and 2s have the addition "BT" (for Bluetooth). This means that they can also be operated without a Hue Bridge. The wattages are probably identical for both versions. Depending on the version, the lamp was measured and specified at 100% or 80% dimming.
Yes it is. The lamps can be added and arranged in the settings of the TV.
I have installed the bulbs outside. It has lasted over 1 year so far, so I would confirm that you can use the bulb in the lamp outside.
I bought this set in March 2021 and it still had the old dimmer switch.

The description is nevertheless accurate and complete.
- bridge (bridge for wifi connection)
- network cable
- 3 light bulbs
- a dimmer (button)
- power adapter
The two you see in the link both have a remote control. The one from Galaxus has none. Otherwise they are the same sets

This item is a starter set with bridge. Unfortunately, neither we nor our supplier know anything about the size compared to a previous model.
The A and F you quoted cannot be compared directly with each other, as they are based on different regulations. Take a look at the specifications for this product under "Energy declaration".
Since 2021, there are new or changed conditions regarding the energy declaration. The meaning of the energy efficiency classes and the classification of appliances into them have changed.

Philips Hue only fits Philips Hue or products that are explicitly compatible with Philips Hue ("Friends of Hue"), but these are more likely to be switches etc. There are now many products.
The statement that there are both with and without BT refers to the lamps - in this product the 3 spots - and they are BT-compatible. However, the Hue Bridge needs to be connected to the network via Ethernet. If you then have the bridge in operation, the lamps are no longer controlled via BT but via Wifi. Without the bridge, you can (as I understand it) control the lamps directly via BT.
Yes, it would even be advisable to remove the dimmer and install a normal switch.
Depending on how exactly the Hue lamps are to be used, they must have power all the time, even when they are off. The control system is located in the lamps/lamps themselves.
The Philips Hue bulbs work in any suitable socket plus app and remote control.

Bridge is included. Lamps can also be operated without a bridge via Bluetooth.

Both bulbs are coloured and can also be set to white.
Good day
Where exactly does it say 3W?
Because with a GU10 lampholder, which is connected directly to 230V, there is normally no fixed output power.
I think not. I have the product and could not find any reference to bluetooth. I think the Hue products with BT have a small blue BT icon on the box (see Hue Lightstrips).
