I outfitted my apartment with ikea lights for the last few years, and I am currently in the middle of replacing them with philips Hue.

It is insane how unreliable the ikea products have been and how terrible the interface is vs philips.

I am using both, the bulbs are equally reliable here, the Ikea bridge & app have had their problems in the past, but also work well atm.

I am moving to Deconz (Phoscon) for full flexibility though..

The Philips bulbs are much better. Ikea also doesn't dim as low as the Philips Hue. But the Ikea bulbs are cheaper so I still use those for storage rooms where the quality is less important.
