Go 2.0 White & Colour Ambiance Smart Portable Light with Bluetooth, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant (Pack of 1)

We love this light. I know have 3 as bed side lamps. They are well made and look good. With the battery making them portable the kids have been known to pinch them for night time reading under the covers. They provide plenty of light that we don't always use the main bedroom light when we have these at full brightness.

We have a large number of smart bulbs and sockets in the house, many of which are Phillips. We do have a Phillips hub, and we use Alexa. We spend many evenings outside in summer and wanted a coloured light to add to the other lights we have out there. We also plan to use it indoors. I was concerned about some reviews saying it needs charging after every use. We have had this 3 days now, and after only one charge it has been on every night. The light can be operated from Alexa, although the colour choice is limited. Using the Phillips app gives lots of colour choices. We have kept the brightness level quite low as that seems to work best outside. Operating the colours manually offers a few “scene” choices like candlelight, but these are not replicated on the app for some reason. You can create the look you want though, using the app. I think this looks lovely outside, and it will add some colour and atmosphere to an outdoor party. It was expensive, but we are pleased with it.

Positive: The colours are good. The set up is very easy. The light is very customisable. Good size. Gets very bright. Negative: The single button at the back feels like a cheap component. It has almost no click and it feels like I am pressing into a marshmallow. I am concerned about the wear and tear of this button over time since it felt mushy since day 1. I have to use this button to light because sometimes the app can't connect to it when the light is turned off. This is not a deal breaker but I think worth mentioning on a product which charges more than other competitors on Amazon.

This object in itself is a party piece, or a meditation piece, or a reading lamps it is incredibly versatile. I take it to friends and it sets a mood and ambiance. At home it is linked with my Hue Bridge and outside I use the Bluetooth to pilot it with my phone. It has some pre-set mode and colours including a candle mode which is my favourite mode at night when orientated towards my (fake) living wall, and it is enough to create a fantastic atmosphere of cosiness. For what it is and the way it presents itself it is a bit overpriced -it is all plastic after all, and the hole to plug the lead is badly placed in my views. But it is a great purchase for a mobile lamps.

You can either connect this to your phone via Bluetooth or the Philips Hue bridge. If you can be bothered with this you can just use the button on the bottom. The light can get very bright which was a very nice surprise and has made us reconsider buying a lamp for our living room. The range of colours it can display are vivid and vibrant so big plus marks for that too. There are lots of other modes too, our favourite so far is the candle like effect which gives a cosy, warm flickering light.

Great product, purchased for two teenagers rooms. They originally had hue iris lights, but the lower light settings were not very dim and highest setting not very bright. We already had version 1 of the hue go and knew it could go much dimmer and brighter, better suited as a bedside lamp. Added bonus, the v2 light could be controlled by both a hue bridge and the new Phillips hue Bluetooth app. So we could control lights overall with a bridge or pair with a light switch, but the kids could also manage colour and on/off state with bluetooth app. This meant we didn’t need to give them the hue bridge app and access to the other hue lights around the house. If you don’t have a hue bridge you can still use them standalone with Bluetooth app or the mode button directly on the light. Battery powered too is a bonus... If using with both a bridge and Bluetooth then configure the light with the bridge first, then setup up Bluetooth. We did Bluetooth first but it seemed to lose that configuration when we added light to bridge. Setting up Bluetooth after it remembered both setups. Great solution for a kids bedroom or up light in a living area, great with Alexa too.

My living room is a converted garage with heavy curtains, which is usually inhabited in the dead of night. In spite of knowing this, it took me half a decade to realise that it was actually kind of dark! It was only when my husband brought down a reading lamp so that he could actually see a book that I looked around for some solutions. I ended up buying two of these cute Hue Go lamps (one at first, which I liked enough that I bought it a twin). They're small and inconspicuous so it was a simple matter to place them on top of high book cases where they weren't in the way and wow, they have made such a difference to the ambient light in my living room! They're bright enough that they solved the problem of the gloom even angled up towards the ceiling. The cables are slim and white so they're not really visible when they're tucked away. The lights are designed to be unplugged and made portable for short periods of time but I haven't actually needed to use this feature yet. They'll be handy in a power cut, though. I use Hue lights elsewhere in the house so I quickly paired my new Go lamps and set them up in Apple's Homekit; the Home app let me link them so that they perfectly match colour and brightness whenever I want to mess around and they come on with my main living room light when I flick the switch; in other words I have all of the benefits of permanent lights without the hassle of installing permanent lights. My current favourite ambiance is to turn off the main light and just use the Hue Go lamps when I'm watching movies; I set them to an eerie violet so that I can see what I'm doing without getting distracted from the screen. Colour changing lights are great fun.

A great addition to my hue system, looks like a permanent candle in my living room, and bonus it can be unplugged and used on battery!
