The set includes two A19 screw fitting bulbs, plus the Philips Hue bridge that you need to control them, and connect them to the rest of your smart home devices so you can control them with voice commands, trigger them to switch on when you arrive home, or switch off when you close your bedroom door (to give just a few examples).
The Philips Hue system has long held the top spot in our guide to the best smart lights, and once you've got this starter kit, you'll be ready to start expanding your setup with lamps, more bulbs (including spotlights), strip lights, and much more.
