Philips Hue White A19 Starter Kit
Philips Hue White bulbs are included in the beginning set, as well as a hub for connecting them to other smart home devices. You can't change the color of these bulbs, but you can modify their brightness (up to 800 lumens) and connect up to 50 of them to a single hub. Philips bulbs are compatible with Alexa, Apple HomeKit, IFTTT, Google Home, and Nest, among other smart home systems.
Philips Hue lights also come with an app called Philips Hue Connect, which allows users to sync their smart bulbs with multimedia files on their Mac or PC. You can, for example, program your lights to flash and change color in response to music, video, and movies playing on your computer. Color schemes and themes can also be changed to fit the user's preferences. You can upgrade your starter kit to include four bulbs instead of two for $30 extra.
