At 1100 lumens against 800 it is the brighter of these two color smart bulbs, for a small step up in power draw, 10.5 W against 9.5 W. Everything else matches: the same 2000K to 6500K white range and full color, Zigbee through the Hue Bridge with Bluetooth as a fallback, power-off memory, a Zigbee router inside, Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings and Home Assistant support, and a 3-year warranty. The Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White and Color 800 is the older model and the better reviewed one, and it is still plenty for a bedside lamp or a hallway. Take the 1100 for a ceiling light or a main room lamp, and the 800 where softer light is enough.

What the differences mean

Brightness

1100 against 800 lumens is a difference you see: the Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White and Color 1100 can light a room from a ceiling fixture, while the Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White and Color 800 is closer to a classic 60 W bulb, fine for lamps and accent lighting.

Power draw

The brighter bulb draws 10.5 W at full output against 9.5 W, a gap too small to matter on an electricity bill.

Model age

The Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White and Color 800 dates from 2019 and the 1100 from 2021. Both use the same Hue app, Bridge and integrations, so the newer model changes the output, not the experience.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both Hue color bulbs praise the same things: reliability measured in years, rich color with smooth warm to cool whites, and a Hue Bridge that keeps dozens of bulbs off the Wi-Fi. Both groups also give the same warnings, that the price is best paid on sale and that deep blues, reds and greens come out noticeably dimmer than white. Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White and Color 800 owners single out how low it dims for night lighting and Hue Sync for movies and games, and mention a bulb slightly larger than standard. Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White and Color 1100 owners talk about the jump in brightness when replacing older Hue bulbs, dimming with no flicker, pairing in seconds with the QR code and near-instant local control from Home Assistant, and note that wall dimmer compatibility varies.

Upgrading from the Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White and Color 800?

Moving from the Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White and Color 800 to the Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White and Color 1100 buys brightness and nothing else: 1100 lumens instead of 800, with the same color range, Bridge, integrations and warranty. It is worth it in a room where the 800 runs at full output all the time. If your current bulbs already light their room comfortably, there is nothing new to gain.
