Philips Wiz vs Hue Lights Comparison ( Pros & Cons )

Is the Cheaper Philips Wiz Smart Led Bulb actually better than Philips Hue?

Thank you for the video! Can you use Wiz only with Bluetooth? And is it possible to set up something like a wake-up light (scheduled sunrise similation) with Wiz?

Awesome thanks, I’ve been trying to figure out whether both have the same dimming range and can do true 1% → 100%.

Wiz has something important that Philips hue doesn't !!!

A 13W white bulb with Kelvin settings from 2700K to 6500K .
Philios goes only up to 11W and may be even only up to 9W.
11W is not enough power for reading / studing.

WIZ A67 E27 TW = max 13 W

I personally use on a white light bulb since I use it in the office and for studding. I need to have minimum of 13 W which provides about 1400 lumens ; strong enough for studuing and reading.
To me rge RGB is a gimic - I don' t need RGB.
I need a white bulb which I set its' light temp / Kelvin and see exactlly at what Kelvin I am - 5500K ot 4000K or 4200K or maybe 2700K .
I need to see the numbers.
I am studing with 5500K or 5000K since research says it enhances conentration. In the late evening I switch to 4200K or 4000K to prevent Melatonin ( sleep hormon) lose and make it easy at the end of the day to fall in sleep.
Again tge ability to change the white light ( no RGB) Kelvin temp eith the app and to kniw exactlly at what Krlvin temp the light - Is a must have in any modern lighting.
And 13W minimum. Enything below 13W or 12W doesn't worth buying.

I don't kniw if the philip hue app has the option to setvthe white light to a specific Kelvin value yet I know Wiz V2 app this important fiture.
Also as I have said, Wiz have 13 W bulbs with E27 screw type yet Philios hue does not.
9W is to dark to my taste.

Wiz wins in practicality.

Yerlight has the same problems as Philips hue, meaning only 9W and below, also its does not show tge exact Kelvin value !!
Wiz does not have those problems.

you don't need a Philips Hue hub if you have less than 10 lights. For more than 10 lights you need the hub.
