Switching to Philips Hue Smart bulbs was the best thing I ever did for my home – I can't believe I didn't try them sooner

If there is any rule in my home, it is that the 'big lights' (otherwise known as the ceiling lights) are never turned on. I prioritize making my home feel cozy, and using lots of lamps to layer lighting is a massive part of that.

However, while having lots of lamps with warm white bulbs in them is great for creating a relaxing ambiance, they are not all that practical if I need to read something in bed or on the sofa, clean something up, focus while working on a fiddly task, or find something. That is where the Philips Hue Smart Bulbs, available on Amazon (and currently discounted for Black Friday) came into my life.
