Just an FYI: IKEA RGB bulb is only 600 lumens vs. 800 lumens latest Philips Color bulb.

I didn't realize Ikea had smart home RGB bulbs. Where are you seeing these? I use a few Tradfri with my setup right now, but I could only find white and white ambiance

Maybe @Canadiansinner will know, I can try this once I get some.

I noticed that too, for ambiance lighting it's fine, but I would like reading lights to be brighter.

I can confirm that the IKEA Tradfri bulbs do work with the Philips Hue hub.

I have 4 GU10 and 2 color E26.

I don't know if you can pair them directly with the HUE hub, I'm using the Hue Lights app and Touchlink.

You do have to pair them one at a time and make sure that all other lights are off.

You can also use the remote that comes with the E26 after you've paired the bulb with the Hue hub.

App I'm using: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/hue-lig ... 09425?mt=8

just curious to know what benefit remote is providing here. also how much is the remote?
you don't need the remote to use the bulb, but it is an extra button that you can put on the coffee table or whatnot to control the light

So the IKEA RGB bulbs are rated at 600 lumens at 2700k.

I went on philips hue’s site and it turns out that they’re at 800 lumens only at 4000k.

Closest colour temp for the hue was 3000k, and at that temp, it outputs 570 lumens.

I couldn’t find data on what the IKEA’s bulb is capable of at 4000k, but at least around the warm white region, they are comparable in brightness, even slightly brighter(at least on advertised tech specs)

How did you pair your GU10 bulbs? I'm using these for the lights above my kitchen island and have no way of getting them close to the philips hue bridge.

Make sure you get the RGB version though, packaging is hard to differentiate
What was the price?? How many bulbs in a kit???

Went to two different HD stores. Both did not want to price match for me, since it was from a different province.

That's sad. when i went first time the manager literally told me, she suppose not to do price match with other HD but she want's to honor the price so she did it first time.

When i went yesterday there was a different manager.I told about the story and shown my receipt the one purchased earlier he said right way please give us 5 star review and ask the counter person to adjust the price.

I really like the ambiance lights now.
