The 2nd generation of Philips Hue smart light bulbs have been out for quite a while now, and 3rd-generation bulbs have just recently come out, but you can still buy 1st-generation Hue products at some stores. Here’s what you need to know about the 1st- and 2nd-generation Philips Hue hubs, as well as the newer 3rd-generation bulbs.
第二代飞利浦Hue智能灯泡已经问世了很长时间，而第三代灯泡最近才问世 ，但是您仍然可以在某些商店购买第一代Hue产品。 这是您需要了解的第一代和第二代飞利浦Hue集线器以及较新的第三代灯泡的信息。
Philips Hue released its 2nd-generation Hue lineup late last year leading up to the holiday shopping season, just three years after first releasing the smart light bulbs to the world. However, while most older products quickly get left in the dust when a newer version is released, Philips Hue has been an exception, mostly because the improvements to the 2nd-generation lineup aren’t incredibly significant, and you can still find 1st-generation Hue products in stores, sometimes at cheaper prices.
飞利浦Hue于去年下半年发布了第二代Hue产品系列，直到假日购物季，距首次向全球发布智能灯泡仅三年。 但是，尽管大多数较旧的产品在发布新版本时很快就尘土飞扬，但飞利浦Hue却是一个例外，主要是因为第二代产品阵容的改进并不显着，您仍然可以找到第一代产品商店中的色调产品，有时价格更便宜。
So if you’re wondering whether you should stick with your 1st-generation bridge and bulbs or upgrade to the 2nd generation or even the 3rd generation, here are the big differences between them all.
因此，如果您不确定是应该坚持使用第一代电桥和灯泡，还是升级到第二代甚至第三代，这是它们之间的巨大差异。
最大的不同是桥梁 (The Biggest Difference Is the Bridge)
The Hue Bridge is the Philips Hue hub, the central point that the Hue bulbs connect to. With the introduction of the 2nd-generation Hue Bridge, the device received an all-new design, as well as support for Apple’s HomeKit smarthome platform.
色相桥是飞利浦色相中心，是色相灯泡所连接的中心点。 随着第二代Hue Bridge的推出，该设备获得了全新设计，并支持Apple的HomeKit智能家居平台。
HomeKit merely provides a way to integrate your smarthome products into iOS more seamlessly, and it also lets different HomeKit-supported products work with each other in a way that they normally wouldn’t be able to. For example, I could set up an automation rule that would turn on my Philips Hue lights whenever I turned on my ConnectSense Smart Outlet (which is HomeKit-enabled).
HomeKit只是提供了一种将您的智能家居产品更无缝地集成到iOS中的方法，并且还允许不同的HomeKit支持的产品以它们通常无法使用的方式相互配合。 例如，我可以设置一个自动化规则，每当我打开ConnectSense Smart Outlet(启用HomeKit)时，它就会打开Philips Hue灯。
However, the biggest feature of HomeKit is Siri support, which means that I can use the voice-controlled virtual assistant to control my compatible smarthome products. With the 2nd-generation Hue Bridge, I can tell Siri to “turn on the living room lights”. The first generation can’t do these things.
但是，HomeKit的最大功能是对Siri的支持，这意味着我可以使用语音控制的虚拟助手来控制兼容的智能家居产品。 通过第二代色相桥，我可以告诉Siri“打开客厅灯”。 第一代不能做这些事情。
Of course, if you’re not big on HomeKit and Siri, or you’re an Android user, the new features in the 2nd-generation Hue Bridge are pretty much worthless. At that point, there’s no harm in getting the 1st-generation Hue Bridge, especially considering that newer 2nd- and 3rd-generation Hue bulbs work just fine with the 1st-generation Hue Bridge.
当然，如果您对HomeKit和Siri不太了解，或者您是Android用户，那么第二代Hue Bridge中的新功能将毫无用处。 到那时，获得第一代Hue Bridge并没有什么害处，尤其是考虑到较新的第二代和第三代Hue灯泡与第一代Hue Bridge配合得很好。
第一代工具包便宜一点 (1st-Gen Kits Come a Little Cheaper)
If the new features of the 2nd-generation Hue lineup have you on the fence about either getting 1st-generation bulbs or 2nd-generation bulbs, then it’s likely the prices of the 1st-generation product lineup that will have you making a quick decision.
如果第二代Hue产品阵容的新功能让您对购买第一代灯泡或第二代灯泡持谨慎态度，那么第一代产品阵容的价格可能会让您快速做出决定。
In fact, that’s likely a big reason why 1st-generation Philips Hue products are still popular right now. You can usually find a 1st-generation start kit on sale, and recently Philips discounted it down to just $99 (although it’s listed as sold out), which gets you the 1st-gen Hue Bridge and three 1st-gen color bulbs. That’s half the price of the 2nd-generation starter kit.
实际上，这很可能是第一代飞利浦Hue产品现在仍很流行的一个重要原因。 通常，您可以找到出售的第一代入门套件，最近飞利浦将其打折至仅售99美元 (尽管它被列为售罄)，这为您提供了第一代Hue Bridge和三个第一代彩色灯泡。 那是第二代入门套件价格的一半。
On Amazon, you can get the 1st-gen starter kit for $170, but we’ve seen it for as low as $135 on Amazon. Granted, if you’re going to spend $170, you might as well just get the 2nd-generation starter kit for $199, but we’d recommend waiting on a deal to show up for the 1st-generation kit, as they tend to go on sale much more often than 2nd-generation Hue products.
在亚马逊上，您可以以170美元的价格获得第一代入门套件 ，但在亚马逊上，它的价格仅为135美元。 当然，如果您要花费170美元，您也可以以199美元的价格获得第二代入门工具包，但是我们建议您等待一笔交易以显示第一代工具包，因为它们倾向于比第二代Hue产品更常销售。
第二代灯泡更亮 (2nd-Gen Bulbs Are a Bit Brighter)
The 2nd-gen Hue bulbs are slightly improved over the 1st-gen bulbs, but not significantly. One of the most noticeable upgrades is that the 2nd-gen bulbs are 200 lumens brighter than 1st-gen Hue bulbs.
第二代Hue灯泡比第一代Hue灯泡稍有改进，但效果不明显。 最明显的升级之一是第二代灯泡比第一代Hue灯泡亮200流明。
The newer bulbs shine at 800 lumens at their max, whereas the old bulbs can only get up to 600 lumens at their brightest. This means that the newer bulbs are 25% brighter. In the light bulb world, that’s a noticeable difference, but with the Hue lights, the bulbs actually only reach their max lumens at specific white color temperatures, and all the other colors are fairly the same on both bulbs, including the brightness levels. For instance, red is limited on how bright it can get, so the brightness of reds on both bulbs are pretty much the same.
较新的灯泡最大照度为800流明，而较旧的灯泡最明亮时只能照亮600流明。 这意味着较新的灯泡要亮25％。 在灯泡世界中，这是一个明显的区别，但是对于Hue灯，灯泡实际上仅在特定的白色温度下达到其最大流明，而所有其他颜色在两个灯泡上都完全相同，包括亮度级别。 例如，红色受到其亮度的限制，因此两个灯泡上红色的亮度几乎相同。
Furthermore, the 2nd-generation Hue LightStrip Plus lights are 10x brighter than the previous 1st-generation light strips, and they shine at an impressive 1,600 lumens. Plus, you can connect extension strips to the newer model to make longer strings of light. The newer LightStrip Plus also has more vibrant greens and blues, whereas the other Hue bulbs have a hard time getting a nice, crisp green or blue (except for the 3rd-gen bulbs–more on that further down).
此外，第二代Hue LightStrip Plus灯的亮度比以前的第一代灯带高10倍，并且它们的光通量高达1600流明。 另外，您可以将扩展条连接到较新的型号，以形成更长的灯串。 较新的LightStrip Plus还具有更鲜艳的绿色和蓝色，而其他Hue灯泡很难获得清晰，清晰的绿色或蓝色(除了第三代灯泡以外，更多的是更低的价格)。
The 2nd-generation bulbs are able to dim to a lower level and turn on just a bit quicker than the older bulbs, but the difference is likely negligible and you probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference unless the two bulbs were right next to each other.
第二代灯泡可以调暗到较低的水平，并且比旧灯泡更快地打开，但这种差异可能微不足道，除非两个灯泡紧挨着，否则您可能无法分辨出差异。对彼此。
第三代灯泡带有更多鲜艳的色彩 (3rd-Gen Bulbs Come with More Vibrant Colors)
Philips recently updated its Hue White and Color Ambiance bulb and introduced it as the 3rd-generation bulb. There’s not much difference as far as the brightness and functionality is concerned, but there is a big difference in the colors that the new bulb produces over the previous-gen bulbs.
飞利浦最近更新了其Hue White和Color Ambiance灯泡，并将其作为第三代灯泡推出。 就亮度和功能而言，并没有太大的区别，但是新灯泡与前代灯泡相比在颜色上有很大差异。
The 3rd-gen bulb now produces much better greens, cyans, and blues. Previously, a green on a 1st- or 2nd-gen bulb would show up as a dull yellow, cyan would look white-ish, and blues would look more like a purple.
现在，第三代灯泡可产生更好的绿色，青色和蓝色 。 以前，第一代或第二代灯泡上的绿色会显示为暗淡的黄色，青色看起来会偏白，而蓝色看起来更像是紫色。
However, the 3rd-gen bulb is a lot similar to the 2nd-gen LightStrip Plus, where you get much better color production from certain parts of the spectrum. Other than that, though, there’s really no other differences compared to the 2nd-gen bulbs. There’s also no new 3rd-gen Hue Bridge, nor were any other Hue bulbs updated alongside the 3rd-gen color bulb.
但是，第三代灯泡与第二代LightStrip Plus非常相似，在第二代LightStrip Plus中，您可以从光谱的某些部分获得更好的色彩产生。 但是除此之外，与第二代灯泡相比，实际上没有其他区别。 也没有新的第三代Hue Bridge，也没有与第三代彩色灯泡一起更新的任何其他Hue灯泡。
At the end of the day, the 2nd and 3rd generations are upgrades–but it almost definitely isn’t worth replacing all the bulbs you already have. And if you don’t care about HomeKit, you can save a few bucks by buying the first generation’s starter kit.
归根结底，第2代和第3代是升级版-但几乎绝对不值得更换您已经拥有的所有灯泡。 而且，如果您不关心HomeKit，则可以购买第一代入门套件来节省几美元。
