New great light, same limited colors

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had high hopes for the new light designs from Philips, but was left a bit disappointed by their lights still being unable to produce a decent green hue. They claim to be brighter than the old bulbs, which they are, but don't expect a night and day difference. Chances are in most situations you are not going to notice the increased brightness unless you have the two bulbs next to each other.
Other than that, they are exactly what you would expect: high quality casing, responsive, easy to install, and low energy usage.

Enhance your Hue lighting system with this Philips Hue dimmer switch. Removing the control unit from the magnetic base plate lets you use it as a handheld remote, and the on button also adjusts Philips colors and set ambiance levels. Adjust light settings precisely with this wireless Philips Hue dimmer switch.

Easy to install, set up, and it just works

I wish all my Hue products worked as well as this. Installation is as easy as sticking it to the wall with the provided tape or mounting it similar to a light switch. The working parts of the switch are actually a small remote control you can easily disconnect from the housing (it uses magnets) and bring it with you to control the lights from anywhere within your house. Setup pairs the switch with a scene you have set up previously allowing one switch to turn on multiple lights in multiple colors and dim them all together.

Solid lighting solution, but limited color range
on November 17, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was excited to get these installed in my arcade area where I was hoping to produce some dynamic lighting -- instead I got some decent lighting. Installation was fairly easy for a tech guy like myself. The range on the hub is a little worrying as it doesn't seem to like going through floors. While I was able to connect to all my lights, there are times I'm unable to remotely control my lights due to lost signal. As you might expect, it's comparable to a wi-fi signal.
My biggest surprise and disappointment are these lights simply cannot produce a decent green. There is NO forest green or even just green available. You go from a blueish green to green yellow.
The default Hue app is just good enough to do the job, but not much more. Thankfully, Philips hasn't locked their lights down and some 3rd party software really comes through to pick up the slack for a very reasonable price (typically less than $5).

Don't expect a "game like" experience
on November 17, 2015
Posted by: TinFoil
Verified Purchase:Yes
This thing went down hard. To be fair, I went in expecting something that mirrored or at least tried to mimic the game which was the wrong attitude going in. At best, it's an OK action flick, but there are plenty better out there.

Amazing quality for the price

Let me start by saying I'm not an Audiophile, but I am a musician from my high school and college days. For the cost, you get solid highs and mids with very rich sound. The speaker is nice looking with or without the cover. This thing is heavy too! Bumping into it isn't going to send it flying or even moving under most circumstances. Easy to install if you have an existing setup. Getting this speaker out of the box is probably the most trouble you'll have with them!

They say for most people that doing is learning — being told how to do something, or even shown, isn't nearly as effective as jumping right in and giving it a try for yourself. Learning to play the guitar certainly applies to this principle, and hands-on, on-the-go sessions are the most effective way to elevate your skills. Whether you're a novice picking up the guitar for the very first time or an old hand fine-tuning your technique, Rocksmith gets you results fast, by putting the guitar in your hands, plugging into your console and getting the party started. Rocksmith 2014 Edition takes the same proven methods of the original edition and enhances them for a fruitful learning experience that will soon have you riffing with the best of 'em.Newly designed for an enriched, re-imagined experience, Rocksmith 2014 Edition features new menus and in-game interfaces for clear, smooth and blazing-fast learning. Receive feedback and play along with more than 50 hit tracks, from alternative rock to heavy metal to classic rock and more. If you own the original Rocksmith, the 2014 Edition is backward compatible with those songs as well for a rich library of tracks you know and love. Designed for ease and speed, the features are more accessible and flexible than ever, allowing you to select your section, difficulty and speed on-the-fly in the fully customizable Riff Repeater mode. Experience a revamped Master mode that is more approachable to learn songs by memory. When you want to ease the pressure a bit, jump over to the Guitarcade for more than 10 mini games that will help you have fun while honing your skills. Session mode lets you experience the feeling of jamming with a band — choose the combination of instruments you want backing you up and following your lead. Showcase your sickest performance with integrated capture and streaming features, which are exclusive to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of Rocksmith 2014. Import your existing DLC purchases from your Xbox 360, so you can grow your music library without having to leave your favorite tunes behind. Become engrossed in the learning process with 1080p high-definition graphics that offer improved clarity and visual quality, which make it easier to follow along. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced axe man, there's always something to learn, and Rocksmith 2014 Edition makes it an enjoyable, worthwhile experience.

Solid teaching tool

Unlike Rockband or Guitar Hero, Rocksmith will assist with actually learning to play the guitar. The built in tuner is very helpful for new players and the lessons are fun and engaging. It's quite remarkable how well it can tell what notes you are and aren't playing and when. The issue I had with Rocksmith is the somewhat limited starting songs for those not willing to DLC new tunes.
