In my personal experience, Phillips Hue is unreliable in general. I just replaced every Hue bulb in my home because one in four had either turned inti a flickering haunted house prop or failed entirely.
- alphabettsy 3y agoIn my experience they have been the most rock solid piece of all the smarthome tech for a decade for me in multiple homes and apartments. I still have and use the original bulbs that came in my first starter kit.
- dharmab 3y agoSome of the failed bulbs were purchased after 2020. I suspect quality has declined.

- cjdell 3y agoFor me, Phillips Hue has been the only bulb to have NOT done this, despite being the oldest. But the cheaper bulbs I've bought on Amazon have all started flickering or just out right failed completely. This has really enforced the "buy cheap buy twice" idea in my mind. It's possible you've been scammed. I suspect there's a big market in selling knock off Hue bulbs because they can mark up the price so much more.
