The Philips Hue Bloom connected bulb/lamp costs under €50 on Cdiscount, down around 41% from the usual price.
Philips Hue recently dusted off its catalog of connected lights, and the little Bloom lamp cleverly capitalized on that makeover. The luminous flux of this free-standing decorative light increases to up to 500 lm.
The new generation Philips Hue Bloom offers better performance than its predecessors. It glows more and better in cool white, but it still struggles in warm white. The very extensive application has been developed for the creation of light scenes and promises numerous possibilities as well as double connectivity via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (which is a real plus). It really works. We see this light more as an addition to a Hue ecosystem than as a standalone lamp.
