Our verdict
A Philips Hue starter kit with a Hue Bridge and four dimmable E27 smart bulbs that can show millions of colours as well as warm-to-cool whites.
You set it up in the Hue app, dim down to 2%, use Hue’s preset light scenes and control the lights by voice with Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple Home. The Essential bulbs work with the wider Hue range, so you can add more later.
Our verdict: A good-value way into the best-known smart lighting system.
