◆ opening - setting

The package of hue looks something like this.


There are three 8.5 W LED light bulbs, and the brightness of the light bulb is 600 lumens.


When you open the inside, on the right side there are three bulbs and a "bridge" that is the heart to change the color of the bulb with Wi-Fi.


Turning the end of the left side turned to be able to see the explanation.


I will peel off the seal in the middle of the package and open it.


Pakari


There are two boxes containing various codes, three LED bulbs, a bridge, and instructions.


The inside of the black box is the power cord of the bridge and the LAN cable.


To use hue at once, connect the power cord and the LAN cable to the bridge.


It is OK if all the lamps are on.


Then set the LED bulb on the lamp stand. Any lighting equipment can be used as long as it can attach a light bulb.


For the time being, I tried a switch and I got a light of a warm color system.

Also, by tapping the clock mark on the bottom right of the screen, you can set the time for turning on and off the open scene.


From the hourglass mark, you can set a timer that allows you to turn the lamp on or off after 1 hour, 2 hours, etc.
