I know these might be an older style (non bluetooth), but for those of us that already have a hub and do not need ambiance.. this seems like a good deal for a two pack.

White and Color Ambiance: you can select any RGB color, any color temperature (warm white to cool white), and the light is dimmable

White Ambiance: you can set the color temperature and the light is dimmable

White (non-ambiance): you can only dim the light and the color temperature is fixed (2200k or 2700k depending on the bulb, it's on the box)
"This is Philips' latest Hue bulb, which after much anticipation, is finally available to buy. The Hue White Ambiance sits between the Hue White and Color bulb and the Hue White bulb. It doesn't allow you to change to different colors, but it does change temperatures from a warm soft white to a bright day light."

Great price for a two pack. However ambiance lighting is so nice. For me, I don't want to go back.

These are little brighter than Ambiance 840lm vs. 800lm.

Ambiance is the entire "white" light spectrum, from cool to warm - these are very basic and only offer a single white light, but still features the ability to dim or brighten.

Would these be good for a bedroom, or are they too much daylight?
And its seems they are Bluetooth from the title.

Have them in the bedroom. They work with zigbee as well. Can set the brightness level (with an app). Works with smartthings.

Or just order them online, where they are (currently) in stock. 3 packs gets you free shipping.

I'll never buy the base White ones again. I've bought ~30 White over the past few years and 8 have already died within the first 2 years. Even the latest version/gen of the White bulbs. No rhyme or reason they are just cheaply made. The Ambiance ones are much heftier like the Color ones and out of the ~25 of those, I haven't had a single Ambiance/Color fail since they were introduced.

Sure, this may be the cheapest these bulbs have ever been and I'm tempted to be "in for 3", there's personally just been an inconvenience factor to these White bulbs. Be sure to stock up on extras, don't put them in hard to install fixtures, and prepare to mess with your smart home configuration more frequently when they prematurely burn out one by one.

I'm patiently waiting for my bridge to receive the latest update so I can use HomeKit Adaptive Lighting (changes the warmth of the bulb based on the sun/time of day), which does not work with these White bulbs.
