Another great Hue product by Philips
on March 25, 2019
Posted by: Josh
from Wichita Falls, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
These E12 LED lamps from Philips deliver Hue smart controls to a nightlight-sized fixture. The lamp itself is larger than a standard filament-driven nightlight bulb, so be careful when sizing. I purchased these for a specialty table lamp, and they work perfectly on my existing Hue hub for smart home controls across Amazon Alexa devices and Apple HomeKit. Only negative is the price. These are nearly twice the price of a standard Hue lamp.

Rocky IV Part II - Son vs Sort-of-Son
on March 25, 2019
Posted by: Josh
from Wichita Falls, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
The transition to Adonis Creed as the central character has breathed new life into the Rocky franchise and hearkens back to when boxing was a much more central sport in the American (and global) consciousness. This film is essentially a retelling of Rocky IV, but with the children of the previous film substituted in this version. That said, the story still comes off as fresh and is entertaining from start to finish. The soundtrack is great, the visuals sparkle on the UHD BluRay transfer, and the audio mix is outstanding.

Well-acted lead, unoriginal story, cringey images
on March 25, 2019
Posted by: Josh
from Wichita Falls, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
First, please let me say that the female lead is well acted. After that, the story is nothing original - just a modified version of I Spit on Your Grave (Day of the Woman). This version does deliver on the premise of the female revenge film, but it doesn't really bring any new depth to the genre. (Should this even be a genre?) The visuals are graphic and may be hard to watch at times, so buyer beware.

An action-filled romp of the modern disaster film
on March 25, 2019
Posted by: Josh
from Wichita Falls, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Rock leads the way as Alexandra Daddario charms audiences as his somewhat unbelievable college age daughter (she's full grown and looks it). But, suspend disbelief and enjoy the action of this modern disaster film. There's little by way of new ideas, but the action makes up for it. The 3D BluRay delivers all of the depth of the cinematic adventure from the comfort of your living room. The digital version transfers as UHD 4K (at least mine did).

Amazing UHD Transfer of a Modern Sci-Fi Classic
on March 25, 2019
Posted by: Josh
from Wichita Falls, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
This film continuation returns us to the world of the Firefly TV Series, and this UHD BluRay delivers the highest quality image available for home viewing. This combo disc is a must-purchase for Sci-Fi fans and can stand-alone as a great film, but is much enhanced if you've previously viewed the Firefly series.

Good premise, good acting, but the film falls flat
on March 25, 2019
Posted by: Josh
from Wichita Falls, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
The premise was good - sort of a "Redneck Oceans 11." The film is even well-acted by several high quality performances from Daniel Craig and Riley Keough. Unfortunately, the pacing is too slow and the film falls flat in its overall delivery. The comedic elements just don't come off as funny as they should. It's not a bad film, but it definitely not good either.

Great image quality, same poor audio leveling
on March 25, 2019
Posted by: Josh
from Wichita Falls, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the fourth time I've purchased this film, each time hoping that the audio will be re-mastered and corrected. Unfortunately it has not. I really enjoyed the film's fusion of the different classic Universal Monsters into a special-effects beat-'em-up. Sadly, the film has always suffered from a poor audio mix that is short on bass levels and is clearly missing an entire range of sounds. The film was released this way in theaters, and has suffered the same flaws on DVD, HD-DVD, BluRay, and now UHD BluRay. I hope it's fixed in the future and remixed for Atmos.

A Comedy Classic
on March 25, 2019
Posted by: Josh
from Wichita Falls, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
This BluRay version of the comedy classic is a fantastic addition to any collection. The transfer and audio quality is vastly superior to my previous DVD copy and looks amazing. The black levels are well balanced and details are visible across the darker parts of the film. Spend an evening an enjoy this cult-classic comedy - you will not be disappointed.

Awesome Show, but product differs from listing
on March 25, 2019
Posted by: Josh
from Wichita Falls, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
Firefly was an amazing Sci-Fi adventure that overdelivered during its too-short run on Fox. The show alone is 5-Stars. The lower rating here is due to Best Buy advertising the 15th Anniversary Collector BluRay, but delivering the standard BluRay version. The transfer quality is still amazing, and is far superior to the original DVD copy that it's replacing; however, the changed product was less than desired.

Not Feature Packed, But Solid Wireless Solution
on March 25, 2019
Posted by: Josh
from Wichita Falls, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
This wireless keyboard and mouse combo is not feature packed, but does offer a solid implementation of the RF-based wireless standard for basic keyboard and mouse functionality. This was a replacement for a short-lived combo from Logitech that didn't even last a year. This combo utilizes a single dongle for both keyboard and mouse.

Will these fit in an A15 socket?

No. This is an E12 socket lamp.

Can this be used in outside coach lights?

Yes, if the coach lights are E12 socket. That said, I wouldn't recommend it. The Hue lamps are not really rated for indoor/outdoor use. Exposure to elements could likely ruin the internal chips of the lamps and render then inoperable. They're a pretty expensive option for them to ruin or go bad. Also, most coach lamps utilize multiple bulbs, and Hue E12 lamps would be really costly to install - even in a single fixture. A better recommendation would be to utilize a series of all-weather LED lamps in the coach lights, and then change the control switch inside the house to a smart switch (like one from WeMo or Amazon) that con be connected to your Smart Home system and turned on/off by smartphone apps or by voice from an assistant like Amazon Echo or Siri.

Does the work with the google home

Yes. The Hue devices are compatible with Google Home. Depending on your Home system, you may need a separate Hue Bridge hub.

Could i use this in a salt lamp?

That would depend on the socket. If the salt lamp is sized for E12 (nightlight), then yes. That said, be aware that the LED lamp will not get as hot as a typical filament-driven bulb, so the aromatic benefits of the salt lamp may be minimized.
