Electrical Identifying Philips Hue smart bulb models

AI Thread Summary
Philips Hue was the first company to offer smart LED bulbs that can be controlled wirelessly, but identifying specific models has become challenging due to the variety of versions released over time. The Hue app provides some information about the bulb model, but it often requires cross-referencing with details printed on the bulb itself. A reference table has been created on Citizendium to help identify Philips Hue smart bulbs, but it currently includes only nine of the most commonly used models. Users are encouraged to contribute additional information to enhance the table, either by joining the wiki or by contacting the original poster. This collaborative effort aims to provide a more comprehensive resource for Philips Hue bulb identification.

Philips Hue was the very first provider of smart LED bulbs that can be controlled wirelessly. Over the years, as Philips sold ever improved models of smartbulbs, it became very difficult to identify exactly which model one of their bulbs is. Once I've installed a smart bulb, there is some additional information in the Hue app about the bulb model, but even then, I found that it requires information from both the app and from what's printed on the outside of bulb to be sure what the actual model (and its characteristics) is.

I am posting here because someone has now created such a reference table with sufficient details for identifying Philips Hue smart bulbs. It is on Citizendium (search for Philips Hue). However, it only contains 9 models (albeit the most commonly used ones). The table there is not complete. If you own other Hue smart bulbs and would like to help improve the reference table there, you could join that wiki and make changes yourself, or alternatively, message me on here with the information and I will try to get it added to the table.

Some time ago I posted this Raspberry PI DIY Mass Spec using Raman Scattering. It's was something of a cumbersome project though, needing a 3D printer and special heat-resistant plastic giving of carcinogenic fumes during printing. To be blunt it was also not very mobile and interpreting the results was further cumbersome Recently though, I've been told that Arduino, and it's various sensor packages, has matured to the point where it's a usable alternative. Now I realize that a cigarette...
