Philips Hue offers different ranges of brightness in its smart bulbs so that you can get the perfect amount of light for any room in your home. Use this guide to learn more about lumens and smart bulbs, how to convert from lumens to watts, and how to choose the right brightness.
What are lumens?
Lumens measure how much light the human eye can see coming from light source — the brightness of a light bulb, for example. The higher the lumen rating, the brighter the light appears. This measurement is different from watts, which indicate the input power of a light bulb rather than its light output.
Model 1600 : Up to 1521 lumens
The brightest smart bulb from Philips Hue, this range comes in White, White ambiance, and White and color ambiance. Light up larger areas of your home, such as the garage or kitchen, with bright light for functional tasks, or dim down to set the mood. This range comes in standard A60/A19 bulbs with E26/E27 bases.
Looking for 100 W? If you want a bulb that’s as bright as a 100 W incandescent bulb, this is your pick.
Model 1100 : Up to 1055 lumens
This range offers powerful light in White, White ambiance, or White and color ambiance that fully illuminates medium-sized spaces, such as hallways — yet can still be dimmed to a low glow. You’ll find this range in standard A60/A19 bulbs with E26/E27 bases.
Looking for 75 W? When converting lumens to watts, this bulb is the equivalent to a 75 W bulb.
Model 800 : Up to 806 lumens
The most common Philips Hue brightness, the 800 range of Philips Hue bulbs are available in White, White ambiance, and White and color ambiance. You’ll see this in the standard shape (A60/A19) and base (E26/E27).
Looking for 60 W? This bulb is equal to how many lumens are in an incandescent 60-watt bulb.
