So we’re going to go down the rabbit hole. I also got a reply from Philips after emailing them about a week ago - they seem totally baffled that 1% light output is still too bright! Goes to show how many people don't realise how sensitive the eyes are when fully adjusted to real darkness. I think the Hue Colour bulbs are both better and more versatile and since they cost the same it makes more sense to have one of those instead. I'm moving in under a month so when I do I'll get a lampshade that diffuses and attenuates the light even more. I've found that covering the one I have works well. I've ended up just using the colour palette to choose manually, and I used that to find a nice deep orangey red for the night light mode. It just seems to put one bulb onto one of the colours and another bulb onto another of the colours rather randomly it seems a bit pointless.
#Hue go lights how to#
I'm using the most recent app and I can't get my head around how to choose a colour from those default scenes (or from a photograph). I’m sure there’s a way to program it to be a true night light with the alarms setting in the app so it comes on at a particular time at night and turns off when you want it off, but I’ll leave that to you to experiment with on your Thanks. Now any time I click on that scene when I need the night light the light illuminates to that shade of red and to the lowest dim setting. It was still too bright (these bulbs are 9 watt bulbs that are capable of functional white light at 6500K so they are not meant to be used as night lights), but I have it in a lamp that has a lampshade so that helped diffuse it even more. Then I dimmed the bulb to the lowest setting it would go and saved my settings. I did this at night too so I could see what I thought looked the best. I dragged mine into the upper right corner where the darkest reds were. In that scene you can select what color you want the bulb to be by dragging the light bulb icon to the color of choice in the image. I used the “sunset” scene that came with the (1st gen) Philips Hue app. I hesitate to take you down the rabbit hole since there are a lot of ways to get lost and confused, but if this helps, this is how I set up my light to be a night light: When I got home, I did some searching and found some available online but I didn't order any or do any research on whether any of the ones I saw were any good. I don't have any specific recommendations, I only saw some at Menards. That, or the Go, which on another forum someone took photos of to show that it's much, much dimmer than the Bloom. I think a Hue Colour bulb in a suitable lamp/lamp shade is best, as Sleepy's suggested. The only advantage is that it can go on the floor and is easier to cover with a cloth or something. It doesn't quite do the nice soft orange the Hue Colour bulbs do. It's brighter than the normal Hue bulbs when fully dimmed! The colours are also very artificial looking and you can see the individual LEDs - it's either a plasticy red or, to mix the colours for orange, the green LED becomes visible.
#Hue go lights full#
You don't need a Bridge to use the Go, but if you want to unlock the full potential of your Go, you might need it.Any links? I've only found one bird-shaped orange night light, now on Thanks.įWIW I've got the Bloom and might send it back. You can also control your lighting with your voice using Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, or Google Assistant. Connected the Go to the Bridge allows you to control your lights from one of the many Hue-compatible apps on the market. The Philips Hue Go smart table lamp can work on its own, but it also works with the Philips Hue Bridge. Use these effects to create a mood, help you concentrate, or get ready for bed. Looking for more? The Hue Go has seven lighting effects built into the device, which you can change with the push of a button. Plug it into an electrical outlet to charge and for continuous use. There are very few products that can last that long with regular use.Ī built-in rechargeable battery means you use the Hue Go anywhere you want for up to three hours between charges. If you use the light just four hours per day, its life cycle jumps to 5,000 days, or over 13.5 years. With a 20,000-hour life cycle, the Philips Hue Go could run 24/7 for more than two years.
