Now that you've got some lights set up and ready to go, this is where it gets fun. It was very hard for me at first, after a lifetime of being told to turn the light off, but it gets easier in a hurry. Once the lights are ready to go, turn on the light switches and (this is where it gets tricky) leave them on. Beyond that perhaps consider a light you use often or a light in an area with an inconvenient switch. I suggest one near an entrance/exit for reasons you'll see below. Once you make the purchase, take the bulbs out of the box and screw them into the fixtures of your choice.
AMBIFY HUE FULL
This way you can start with the less expensive Lux bulbs and expand to full color later if you prefer. One advantage to the Hue hub is that the hub is essentially free in the kit and whichever kit you decide on, both types of bulbs will work with it. Wink sells a hub separately, and WeMo has a hub too. You can get a hub with either the Hue or Hue Lux starter kit, a set of bulbs that includes the hub.
(Wink and WeMo are both white-only lights, LIFX is the other main multicolor bulb.) Most styles require a "hub", a small puck that sits on your network and allows for all the control.
Primarily you see two styles of bulbs: the "Hue" bulb which can be adjusted to a variety of colors, and the Hue Lux which is a white bulb that only has brightness adjustments.
There are others from companies such as Wink and WeMo, and most of the same concepts apply to these bulbs. Generally, setup isn't a big deal, but once you have them, then what? For people who are mildly curious, here's a gentle introduction to the world of Light Bulbs You Can Boss From Your Phone: For now we'll mostly deal with the "regular" light bulbs, specifically the Philips Hue line of LED smartbulbs. If you're interested in smart lighting, resources to help you can get overwhelming in a hurry.
