I bought one and then another two days later after playing with the first



These aren't quite as bright as the hue bulbs but they have one huge difference (other than being standalone fixtures. Okay, two huge differences.)



These fixtures can handle all shades of blue and green. Vibrant green, light sky blue, deep blue with no purple...shades that just don't work with the standard hue bulbs. I guess there is a tradeoff between color range and brightness. These guys nail the absolute full color range while still being bright enough to wash a wall in ambient light. Bright green, light azure, or deep blue ambient light, plus everything else. And they look like jellyfish or sea creatures when unhidden.



Don't expect to be blinded but if you're going all in on the hue system, these lights are a great addition. My light scenes and other apps that draw on the full color palette are greatly enhanced by the expanded spectrum. They only miss five stars because of the steep price. Yet I'm probably going to order another.



Edit: I've added another of these to my life, and knocked off the negative price star. Yes, the system costs way more than I want to pay, but I also realize I'm loving it. I've bought some tech only to realize I'll never use it but, surprisingly to me, this isn't the case here. With apps like IFTTT and Espresso, I feel like I've only begun to explore the options.



Also, I think I underestimated the brightness by a bit. The color range is still incredible.
