Philips Hue Infuse Medium Ceiling Lamp, Black

Philips Hugh does not make bright lights, but this one is a significant disappointment in terms of its output. They do hide the number of lumens, it is not listed on the box, but there was a figure listed in the Amazon product description that was not accurate. In the real world it sheds about 10% more light than 100 W Phillips color ambience bulb at its peak output frequency. I measured the peak output of this light at about 1250 lm. It is an unexpectedly beautiful light fixture though, and the halo light at the top is quite striking. It integrates well with the Phillips Hue systems, but a single fixture is barely sufficient in my case to illuminate a tiny hallway. This fixture would be wholly unsuited as the principal ceiling light in any room larger than about 5 x 5‘ in my opinion. A much better and cheaper solution would be to find ceiling light fixtures that you liked and that also took standard base bulbs, and then fill it with multiple Philips Hue hundred watt bulbs. Note that this would need to be a large larger fixture because the 100 watt bulbs are about an inch longer than the standard 60 watt equivalent hue bulbs. I will live with this one but, at least in terms of overall lighting output and quality, I have to consider it a downgrade. I would say do not buy this fixture.
