Hue Go Safety Issue Spotted
I bought three of these lights and used two as night lights and bedside lights for my young children. I was then horrified to see that, while gently unplugging the power cord, the end of the cord easily broke off, leaving one half stuck in the plastic body of the light and the other half as live electrical wires coming from the D/C power supply. In all the hundreds of electronics I've used in my home over the years, I've never seen this happen and want to post this review as a safety alert to all. I hope this was a failure that doesn't reoccur in any of the other Hue Go lights in the market but the consequences could be so bad that I felt compelled to post this (and the photo).
Besides that, the lights are a great idea but the execution is B-. When they work, it's great, but they are unreliable and often become unresponsive in my home.
