Phillips Hue Lights - Anyone Try These?

I stumbled on these on the Logitech Harmony site. Supposedly the Harmony Ultimate can control them.

They look cool, but wonder if they are just an over-priced gimmick... Wondering if anyone has used them and what your thoughts/experience has been. Wondering how well they work.

Never heard of them before.

But I bet they are insanely expensive.

$200 for the starter kit (comes with 3 bulbs, and the bridge...) - yeah, very expensive!

They could look sweet in the right application, though.

I know. Even with the steep price tag, I'm mysteriously drawn to them like a bug to... well...

I have a "built-in" audio rack. The strip lights would be sweet along the inside edge all the way around.

That's pretty cool

Many of the higher end Harmony remotes can control X-10 devices, switches, dimmers etc.. Might be a cheaper route, and X-10 devices have been around a long time. It's a proven technology.
