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.
Set base resolution = 30fps, video will be crisp. I am leaving it to default.
OBS file extension is mkv. We need to remux to get MP4. The reason mkv is default, a lecture of 2 hours terminates after 1 hour then we would have the video up-to the point of failure. If we set default to MP4 then risk of loosing 2 hour lecture is very high. Leaving it to default. You will be Happy doing remux as a second step.
OBS start and stop buttons are visible. We can edit it in editing software or we can use shortcuts to start and stop the video. We can add Hot keys if we want. The path is Settings -> Hot Keys. Add your favorite keys here; Press

This can be installed using admin account but wouldn’t be visible to user’s other than Admin. To make it visible to say Shahzad user account, copy admin profile to a user-defined folder e.g c:\video\blackmagic folder. Open folder and run it from there. took me some time to figure out this work around.
