I have a few Philips Hue lights at home and they are great. I have just discovered that the newest models work with Bluetooth as well, not requiring the bridge and wifi network, and they make them with a GU10 connection. This means I could outfit my studio ceiling with them. Very cool!
Before I jump into that, are there any noise concerns? From the bulbs themselves, or the bluetooth connections, or who knows? It doesn't seem likely but I thought I'd ask here first!

It doesn't seem likely but I thought I'd ask here first! I bought 4 of these on sale at the 'Depot, for use with my video appearances on Zoom and other platforms. They're not bright, but the Logitech web cam doesn't require bright. It's great to control via phone app the brightness and color temperature of each light, as well as the color. I've got my DAW on while I do it, never heard a buzz or whine from the lights. |

I may be speaking on a different LED light than you but the small led lights that come on a roll w/ a remote from Amazon are definitely noisy in my studio.
Less than a MBP fan but adds up so anything being recorded they get turned off unless it affects the vibe. May be the way i have things plugged in but I have noticed some slight interference even with all balanced cables w/ them on before.
