Philips Hue bulbs, i use it where i want to have the possibility to also change color or dim in a big range

Ikea bulbs, much cheaper and also compatible with Philips Hue bridge (not the other way around)
The downside with those bulbs are the limit in dim range and not as good as the Philips lights.
You can have them for instance in a room where you just need light without ambiance or color like over the sink in kitchen.

Philips hue motion detection, really neat to have the light turned on automatically when enter hallway or kitchen. Also possible to have temp and lux data fetched from the sensors.
