Philips Living Colors UK Philips Reviews

By J B Kitching

The price may seem a little steep but this lamp is well worth it, the effect of changing the hue and saturation of the colours really compliments what effect you are after.
The lamp can also cycle through lots of different colours automatically. The remote control is a joy to use, simple, fun and neat looking too.

This is a great lamp. I had toyed with mood lighting but the electrical fitting and overall cost put me off. This is a great and more affordable option. Can display just about any colour with varying intensity it really is infinite the colour you can have. The LED's are quite bright so place it with the LED's facing the wall or object so you dont catch the brightness in the corner of your eye! I put it illuminating a giant wooden parrot I've got. Scary scary atmosphere when watching Resident Evil in gory red!! Though it may seem pricey its certainly a great buy that makes a huge difference to the atmosphere of any room its used in. You'll wander what life was like without one or two of these puppy's!

I've always liked the impact of coloured lighting in a room. Having read some of the other reviews, I knew it was not going to be that bright, so I purchased two of these for my living room that has near white walls. I found the colours great, but with only two of these in the corners of the room, you would need another light on to have a useable level of brightness for reading etc. I know Philips probably didn't expect people to use them as the only room light, but I though this might be a lazy way to put in remote control lighting.

So in order to test my theory you needed more, (and much to my wife's dismay), I brought two more. I have them in a 12ft by 18ft room, and the light levels just right. (Although these are no match for a normal light).

One thing I noticed is the remote control does sometimes fail to activate all the lights, but this seems a range thing. (I guess it could be interference with wifi which has been mentioned, but its not happened enough to be an issue.

In terms of setting up all lights to the same remote? easy, worked straight away. (Although I now have three extra remotes sat around doing nothing, as you can't re-tune the remotes to the save as each other)

Over all very pleased with them, the ability to lighten the colours is great, as you can use them normally, and make the colours more intense when your entertaining. Now if only I can work out how to link them to my computer and control them via music........

p.s. like many others, I couldn't give them a five start rating, because of the high price point.
