Works for a while - Long term reliability questionable
I have 3 of the Hue White Filament bulbs in a pole lamp. The original bulbs worked fine for about 2 years. One of the bulbs began to flicker and turn on by itself. I deleted it from the Phillips app and re-paired it. Still no luck. So I bought another from eBay. Same result. I bought a third bulb from Home Depot and it seems to work ok so far. So I guess the bottom line is that the bulb will work for a while and then the wi-fi connectivity will fail rendering the bulb useless from a smart-home perspective.
Even better as you can dim and otherwise control them remotely … make them twinkle if you want. It makes my place look more inviting over the glaring Hue White bulbs.
