Question 1

Can you change it to cool white?

Accepted Answer

It depends on which model you’re looking at. I’m seeing your question on the “White Ambiance” hue listing, which DOES adjust between warm and cool white. They do sunrise and sunset gradients well, there’s a really neat pale “moonlight” mode, and you can get a spa-like blueish white if you like.

The “Soft White” hue bulbs are just a warm light similar to traditional incandescent bulbs.

Both kinds of lights can use smartphone settings to dim the lights, turn on and off on a schedule, and be grouped into rooms or zones (like all your upstairs lights), and turn on/off when you arrive/leave home. Ambiance are my favorite… I don’t use the colors on my other bulbs much, but these have all the smart features and can be relaxing or mood-lifting like seasonal depression treatment lights. The basic “soft white” lights are still nice, especially for a little lamp where you wish to dim the light comfortably or not have to reach for an awkward switch.

Question 2

Question 3

Does the 1600 lumen white bulb allow you to change white temperatures (warm, bright, cool etc) or not ?

Accepted Answer

Be careful, Amazon has posted this question under the Philips Hue White Ambiance A21 High Lumen Smart Bulb, 1600 Lumens (can change from warm to cool white). And I assume it is also on the Philips Hue White A21 High Lumen Smart Bulb, 1600 Lumens page (cannot change white hue) since that is what comes up when I click the “answer this question” link.

Question 4

I am inferring the 100 Watt rating indicates lumen output equivalent to 100 W incandescent.  What is the actual power usage of this bulb?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you are correct. It's a 16 watt bulb with a light output equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent bulb.
