The configurable detection interval is what separates this from cheaper PIR sensors: most are locked to roughly a minute of cooldown, which makes them useless for lighting a corridor you walk back down thirty seconds later.
Full details →Who the Philips Hue White & Color Ambiance Smart Bulb E27 9W is for
Buy it if: Anyone who wants very low dimming, accurate colour, and automations that survive an internet outage.
