I was an early adopter of the Philips LUX bulbs and hub. I had this bulb first setup with the Philips Hue bridge along with my other bulbs. It worked fine for Philips products but would not Alexa integrate other bulbs like the excellent Cree smart bulb.
This has the round shape of more modern Philips LUX bulbs which is very difference from the trumpet shaped older models. It's closer to the size of an old incandescent bulb and its more lamps and fixtures.
When I got my Echo Plus with an integrated Zigbee hub I was anxious to move all the plugs tied to my Hue bridge to the Echo Plus. This requires a reset of the bulb. The Cree was easy with a series of on-off cycles. All the Philips bulbs required getting the serial numbers off the bulbs and using the Alexa app to reset them. (look in the smart home section)
When my smart bulbs were reset, including this one, pairing to my Echo Plus hub was as simple as saying "Alexa, Find devices". Easy-peasy. I still have great control over my Philips bulbs and now finally voice control over my Cree bulbs too.
Outside of voice control this Philips bulb is nice 2700K (warm white) smoothly dimmable bulb. Light quality is nice and I find it slightly brighter than earlier LUX models I own.
In conclusion, since I got rid of the Hue bridge I have one less thing taking up a power socket and network connection. All my bulbs work through the Echo plus hub and all are now under voice control. Philips still makes some of the best smart bulbs and this version of the Hue Lux bulbs has very smooth dimming and is a bit brighter than older models. Living with this bulb for several months I think it is excellent and earns 5 stars.
