Philips Hue Ambiance Multi-Color Tunable-White Smart Bulb - 3rd Gen (2016) vs Sengled Element Classic Soft White Smart Bulb (2017)

The Philips Hue Ambiance Multi-Color Tunable-White Hue Bridge 10W (60W Equiv) is one of the very best Light Bulbs that one can get for around $60. The Sengled Element Classic Soft White Sengled Smart Hub 9W (60W Equiv), however, while a very good choice at its $16 price point, falls just short of being remarkable.

Two highly trusted sources that perform well-thought-out in-depth testing consider the Philips Hue Ambiance Multi-Color Tunable-White Hue Bridge 10W (60W Equiv) to be a great product - it earned the "Best Hue Lighting Without a Hub" title from PCmag and "Ranked 1 out of 5" from Wirecutter in their respective Light Bulb roundups, which is a good indication of it being a notable product.

Returning to the Sengled Element Classic Soft White Sengled Smart Hub 9W (60W Equiv) - it was really well-received by reviewers at Wirecutter and CNET, which are among the most highly trusted sources on the internet and are known for their in-depth hands-on testing. It was named "Other good smart LED light bulbs" by Wirecutter and "Best for Amazon Alexa" by CNET, which points toward the Sengled Element Classic Soft White Sengled Smart Hub 9W (60W Equiv) being a high-quality product.
