Philips Hue is a line of color-changing LED lamps and white bulbs which can be controlled wirelessly. The Philips Hue line of bulbs was the first smart bulb of its kind on the market. [ 3 ] The lamps are currently created and manufactured by Signify N.V. , formerly the Philips Lighting division of Royal Philips N.V. [ 1 ] [ 4 ]
The major advantage of a lighting control system over stand-alone lighting controls or conventional manual switching is the ability to control individual lights or groups of lights from a single user interface device. This ability to control multiple light sources from a user device allows complex lighting scenes to be created.
Lamp bulbs with dual carbon filaments were built as early as 1902 to allow adjustable lighting levels. [1] Certain compact fluorescent lamp bulbs are designed to replace 3-way incandescent bulbs, [2] and have an extra contact and circuitry to dim to a similar light level. In recent years, LED 3-way bulbs have become available as well. [3]

The GU24 fitting is intended to maintain the energy efficiency of the light by preventing an occupant from using an incandescent bulb instead of a CFL. Adapters to use incandescent bulbs in a GU24 fitting are illegal in the State of California as they would be a fire hazard in fixtures designed for the lower heat output of a CFL bulb. [2]
These bulbs tend to be transparent white or colors, and are often ornately designed with crystal-like patterns. Later bulbs called C 7 + 1 ⁄ 2, have diameters of seven and a half 1/8th inches (15 ⁄ 16 in, or 24 mm) using an E12 candelabra base; however, these have a blunt shape (and should therefore be called B 7 + 1 ⁄ 2, or B24).
An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an electric light with a filament that is heated until it glows. The filament is enclosed in a glass bulb that is either evacuated or filled with inert gas to protect the filament from oxidation. Electric current is supplied to the filament by terminals or wires ...
