Welcome back to our second review of the Philips Hue Smart Light Bulbs – this time, of the Gen 3 with Richer Colors. 18 months ago, I wrote a review of the first generation Philips Hue. Since then, Philips has released a second generation. And, more recently a third generation. I’ve gotten my hands on a Gen 3 “With Richer Colors” Hue bulb, and I’m going to give you the rundown of how this latest model differs from the earlier ones.
The Philips Hue was the first major brand smart color lighting system to gain popularity, but the first generation of Hue had some issues with color range, so that newer competition significantly surpassed those earlier Hue bulbs. Let’s start out by saying that these Gen 3 bulbs are much improved, making Philips Hue competitive again.
