Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White 1100 vs Ring A19 Smart LED Bulb comparison

Updated June 2026

Data from Amazon and official Philips and Ring sites.

2026 verdict

Even as Hue's simplest white bulb, the Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White 1100 clearly beats the Ring option, winning on rating, connectivity, integrations, power-off memory and Zigbee routing. It is a brighter 1055-lumen warm-white bulb on a reliable Zigbee mesh, and it works with Alexa, Google, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT. The Ring A19 Smart LED Bulb is more limited: an 800-lumen fixed 3500K bulb that only turns on and off, requires a Ring Bridge and connects to Alexa alone. Its lone advantage is the lower price. Both bulbs are fixed-tone whites without color or app dimming, so this comes down to reach and reliability. Buy the White 1100 if you want dependable warm white that plugs into almost any platform, and the Ring A19 only if you are locked into Ring and Alexa and want the cheapest bulb.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which fixed-white bulb is better, the Hue White 1100 or the Ring A19?

The Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White 1100 wins on rating, brightness (1055 versus 800 lumens), Zigbee routing, power-off memory and support for six platforms. The Ring A19 Smart LED Bulb is a basic Alexa-only bulb whose main draw is a lower price.

What is the biggest difference between the Hue White 1100 and the Ring A19?

Connectivity and reach. The Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White 1100 runs on Zigbee and integrates with Alexa, Google, HomeKit, SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT, while the Ring A19 Smart LED Bulb needs a Ring Bridge and works only with Alexa.

Do either of these bulbs offer color or tunable white?

No. Both are fixed-tone white bulbs: the Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White 1100 is 2700K warm white and the Ring A19 Smart LED Bulb is 3500K. Neither changes color, so the decision rests on brightness, platforms and price rather than color features.

Who should buy the Ring A19 Smart LED Bulb?

Buy it if you already use Ring and Alexa and just want an inexpensive bulb for on/off or motion-triggered lighting. It is not the pick if you want broad platform support or a Zigbee mesh.

Who should buy the Philips Hue Smart Bulb - White 1100?

Buy it if you want bright, reliable warm-white light that works across Alexa, Google, HomeKit and more on Hue's Zigbee mesh. It is the sturdier, more connected choice for everyday white lighting.
