SUMMARY

Identifying Philips Hue smart bulb models has become increasingly challenging due to the variety of models released over the years. The Hue app provides some information about the bulb model, but users often need to reference both the app and the physical bulb for accurate identification. A reference table has been created on Citizendium that includes details for nine commonly used Philips Hue models. Users are encouraged to contribute additional information to enhance this reference table.

Philips Hue was the very first provider of smart LED bulbs that can be controlled wirelessly. Over the years, as Philips sold ever improved models of smartbulbs, it became very difficult to identify exactly which model one of their bulbs is. Once I've installed a smart bulb, there is some additional information in the Hue app about the bulb model, but even then, I found that it requires information from both the app and from what's printed on the outside of bulb to be sure what the actual model (and its characteristics) is.

I am posting here because someone has now created such a reference table with sufficient details for identifying Philips Hue smart bulbs. It is on Citizendium (search for Philips Hue). However, it only contains 9 models (albeit the most commonly used ones). The table there is not complete. If you own other Hue smart bulbs and would like to help improve the reference table there, you could join that wiki and make changes yourself, or alternatively, message me on here with the information and I will try to get it added to the table.
