Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White 800 vs Philips Hue Smart Bulb

Updated June 2026

Data from Amazon and official Philips site.

2026 verdict

These are the same warm-white Hue bulb at two brightness levels, and the Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White 1100 wins on the two things that actually differ: it is brighter at 1055 lumens against 806, and it is the more affordable of the two. Both are fixed 2700K warm-white bulbs that only dim, with no colour, no tunable white and no dynamic scenes, and both run on the same Zigbee-plus-Bluetooth platform with identical integrations, power-off memory and a three-year warranty. That leaves brightness and price as the whole story, and the 1100 leads on both. The Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White 800 remains fine for a smaller room where 806 lumens is enough, but there is little reason to prefer it. Choose the White 1100 for more light for less, and the White 800 only if you specifically want the lower-wattage bulb for a compact space.
