Philips Hue’s budget-friendly Essential starter kit has hit a new low price

飞利浦 Hue 经济型智能灯泡入门套装价格创新低

Four Philips Hue smart bulbs with a Hue Bridge are down to $79.99, matching the two-bulb kit. 包含四个飞利浦 Hue 智能灯泡及一个 Hue Bridge 网关的套装现已降至 79.99 美元，价格与两灯泡套装持平。

Although most of Prime Day’s unusually good Philips Hue deals have ended, a few remain, and some, including the black Philips Hue Twilight Sleep and Wake-Up Light, are even cheaper. None, however, have fallen to a new all-time low price like Philips Hue’s Essential starter kit. Right now, you can buy a bundle containing four white and color E26 bulbs and a Hue Bridge for $79.99 ($40 off) at Amazon. Since that’s the same price as the two-bulb Essential starter kit, it’s like getting two bulbs for free. 尽管亚马逊 Prime Day 大多数超值的飞利浦 Hue 促销活动已经结束，但仍有一些优惠在持续，甚至包括黑色款 Philips Hue Twilight 睡眠唤醒灯在内的部分产品价格更低。然而，没有任何产品像飞利浦 Hue Essential 入门套装这样创下了历史新低。目前，你可以在亚马逊上以 79.99 美元（优惠 40 美元）的价格购买包含四个 E26 彩光灯泡和 Hue Bridge 网关的套装。由于该价格与两灯泡的 Essential 入门套装相同，相当于免费获得了两个灯泡。

Each of the color-changing bulbs can display millions of colors or tunable white light ranging from a warm 2200K to a cooler 6500K, while producing up to 800 lumens of brightness. The Hue app also offers a preset lighting scenes for everything from movie nights to the holidays, though you can also create your own. Meanwhile, the included Hue Bridge lets you control the lights when you’re away from home, create schedules, connect up to 50 lights throughout your home, and set automations so they can, for instance, turn on automatically when you arrive home. It also allows you to control the lights through all the major smart home platforms, thanks to Matter compatibility. 每个变色灯泡都能显示数百万种颜色，或提供从 2200K 暖光到 6500K 冷光的可调白光，亮度最高可达 800 流明。Hue 应用程序还为电影之夜到节日庆典等各种场景提供了预设灯光模式，你也可以自定义专属场景。同时，套装附带的 Hue Bridge 网关让你可以在离家时远程控制灯光、创建日程安排、连接家中多达 50 个灯泡，并设置自动化功能，例如在你到家时自动开灯。得益于对 Matter 标准的兼容，它还允许你通过所有主流智能家居平台来控制灯光。

As Philips Hue budget-friendly kits, there are a few premium features they lack that are worth mentioning. Most notably, the bulbs only dim to two percent instead of 0.2 percent. Philips Hue also doesn’t guarantee they’ll match the color accuracy of its flagship bulbs across generations. If you’re simply looking to fill your home with colorful smart lighting at a reasonable price, though, those differences may not matter much to you. 作为飞利浦 Hue 的经济型套装，它们缺少一些值得注意的高端功能。最显著的区别是，这些灯泡的最低调光亮度仅为 2%，而非旗舰款的 0.2%。此外，飞利浦也不保证这些灯泡在不同代际间的色彩准确度能与旗舰产品完全一致。不过，如果你只是想以合理的价格为家中增添多彩的智能照明，这些差异对你来说可能并不重要。
