 Cool....but globe is not very strong March 5, 2010

We purchased this lamp purely cause we are early adopters and thought it was cool. We like the lamp but the LEDs are too few. It doesn't really have enough power to fill a normal sized room but is better suited to a smaller one or a hallway.
There's rumors of a stronger set of LEDs in a future version. I would wait until that happens before buying this lamp.
LEDs not replaceable March 4, 2010

According to Philips, the life span of these LEDs are 10 years based on 1.5 hours a day. That is, if you use it every night (lights are usually on 6 hrs a night) then they really last about 2.5 years after which the lamp would be useless since the LED's are not replaceable.

This lamp is the perfect house accessory that everyone should have. With its 200+ different color wheel it can provide just the right mood lighting for any occasion.
Very nice lamps! February 16, 2010

The living color lamps are definitely on the pricey side, but after you set it up, it's a lot of fun to play with, and they're very cool. My main complaint with them is that it's not as bright as I had hoped. I wanted to replace a standard lamp with lampshade and 70watt bulb with one of these lights. But there's no way. Maybe if I made a shade for it to diffuse some of the light. But even that would be questionable. It all comes down to the fact that the pictures of the lamp are a bit misleading. When you look at the photos, it looks like one big bulb. But it's not. It actually has 4 large, LEDs (a red LED, a green LED, and two blue LEDs), with a diffuser (opaque piece of plastic) over top of the LEDs. It simply doesn't have the brightness of a normal light bulb.
That being said, it's still not too bad. Put two of these on opposite sides of a room, and you can create a very romantic setting. Just don't expect to replace standard lamps/lights in an office or similar room with one of these.
I heard/read comments about the remotes being fragile. I haven't experienced that. The remote seems fairly sturdy to me. I was a little disappointed that when I circle my finger around the color spectrum on the remote, the colors don't cycle as you would expect... at least not accurately. You really have to tap on the color wheel where you want in order to get the true color for that point on the wheel. Also, the remotes don't seem to have a very good distance. I'm thinking they may be using bluetooth in these things, which is only good for 30 feet (and usually not even that). I've noticed that the further I get from the light, the less responsive it gets. 15 to 20 feet away, and I find I'm tapping a couple times to get the light to change.
Still, these are all pretty trivial things. The lights are extremely cool, and basically work as advertised. I'd highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys mood lighting and can afford the price tag!
Philips 818566 Living Colors Lamp - AWESOME February 8, 2010

What a lamp!!! Believe me when I say it has made some great changes to my decor at home. Worth every nickel and dime folks.. If you have a flat screen tv and a DVD aquairum, place the Philips lamp on the tv stand (facing the wall) play the DVD aquarium and set the lamp color to a tranquil "green". Then check out the results!! The Philips lamp creates this illusion like your flat screen is a giant size aquarium tank. When my guests sees it, they don't want to leave!! Also, if you own a small or large liquor bar, place the Philips lamp on the side facing the wall and set it to a nice smooth lounge color like (purple or blue). It will transform your bar into a Hollywood hang out lounge. I have this feature hooked up to my bar and I feel like I need to start charging my friends for just the ambience of it all.. so now I have a hard time getting them to leave!! If you like to entertain, then baby Philip's color lamp is for YOU!! Remember to be very creative once you have this (there are millions of ways you can use this). But the bar feature will pay off folks as well as placing it behind your flat screen to give it a dramatic theather look. Just awesome folks.. simply awesome.
