![]() ![]() You can’t connect to your router wirelessly. The downside? It requires a hub, which in the case of Hue, must be plugged into your router via ethernet. The Hue relies on Bluetooth and Zigbee, a wireless protocol widely used in smart homes to control lighting and other appliances that don’t need a lot of bandwidth. Here’s the biggest difference between the two bulbs. The colors were also richer and more attractive. TL DR: The Hue has the superior color range and wider color temperature palette. Overall, I think the Hue is slightly more color accurate and has a wide range at which it can operate. For instance, the reds were actually red, instead of a more pinkish color the Nanoleaf clocked in at. I also found the Hue’s lighting to be a bit richer than the Nanoleaf’s. That’s pretty good, considering both of these bulbs are considerably more expensive than a single incandescent bulb, which lasts about 1,000 hours on average. Barring breakage, a single bulb is rated to last 25,000 hours, which is about 35 months of continuous use. They consume 10.5 watts and 9 watts, respectively, making them incredibly energy-efficient. The Hue and Nanoleaf bulbs both put out up to 1,100 lumens of brightness - more than bright enough for residential lighting needs. I like the Nanoleaf’s funky design, but this is hardly a major determining factor. They still won’t work very long if the bulb breaks.) (Incandescent bulbs no longer need a vacuum to work, but instead rely on a mixture of inert gases to extend the life of the heated filament. I had one Hue bulb that performed fine even though the glass around the bulb had spiderwebbed. And they will work, mostly, if the bulb is cracked a bit.
