Summary: great outside
Comment: I know it's not exactly what it's made for, but when I'm outside of an evening, I always take this out and put it on the table pointing up at the parasol.
It somehow makes the ambience so much nicer having a warm glow, or just on the rotating colours if I have music on.
So much better than normal boring lighting
Customer Rating:
Summary: Poor
Comment: I like innovative light designs but this was a great disappointment and, if I was more organised, I would have returned the light to Amazon. While it does provide a full range of colours the light is simply too faint when the full noticeable colour intensity is set. You can make the light brighter but you lose the colour. If you want mood lighting from this buy several. At £100+ the light is not an economic or practical solution.

Summary: Good, but you'll need more than one to use them as the only lights.
Comment: I've always liked the impact of coloured lighting in a room. Having read some of the other reviews, I knew it was not going to be that bright, so I purchased two of these for my living room that has near white walls. I found the colours great, but with only two of these in the corners of the room, you would need another light on to have a useable level of brightness for reading etc. I know Philips probably didn't expect people to use them as the only room light, but I though this might be a lazy way to put in remote control lighting.
So in order to test my theory you needed more, (and much to my wife's dismay), I brought two more. I have them in a 12ft by 18ft room, and the light levels just right. (Although these are no match for a normal light).
One thing I noticed is the remote control does sometimes fail to activate all the lights, but this seems a range thing. (I guess it could be interference with wifi which has been mentioned, but its not happened enough to be an issue.
In terms of setting up all lights to the same remote? easy, worked straight away. (Although I now have three extra remotes sat around doing nothing, as you can't re-tune the remotes to the save as each other)
Over all very pleased with them, the ability to lighten the colours is great, as you can use them normally, and make the colours more intense when your entertaining. Now if only I can work out how to link them to my computer and control them via music........
p.s. like many others, I couldn't give them a five start rating, because of the high price point.

Summary: Mood lighting at its best and most affordable
Comment: I absolutely love this light, and am now ordering a second. It's wonderful at matching or lifting your mood, changing to any one of millions of colours. I'm a photographer and really appreciate the relaxing ambience this lamp creates. Well done Philips!

Summary: Unimpressed - took mine back
Comment: As an owner of a Philips Ambilight TV, I thought I'd extend the mood lighting to another part of the room.
I found the colour intensity very poor. As soon as you take the unit far away enough from the wall to not have an intense spotlight, the colour intensity dramatically reduces. That's why they display this in a small boxed compartment because that's the limitation.
Something about the lighting on all colours seems cheap and cold. It has almost a tubelight feel to it.
The unstable body is a terrible idea. The material it's made from scratches as soon as it makes contact with the parquet. The stand is just a loose 'ring' that you are supposed to place the spherical body on, but of course that severely limits the angle because it's top heavy and just rolls over (and off the surface you place it on if you're not careful!)
The remote control is excellent, it works from quite far. However, if you have WiFi at home, it does interfere. Clever People.NL
You need a small room, and the room needs to be white, and you need to have low expectations. Far to expensive for the 5? LED's in this over sized lump of plastic.
