I love Hue and the color changing is cool for these but not sure how much I'd use it for overhead lights. I have some light strips and regular bulbs, but this would cost me a ton to change the dozens of recessed lights in my house!
I installed Lutron Caseta dimmer switches all over my house instead and they're awesome! They work without wireless and I have them all synced up to routines with the rest of my smart home.
Does hue have a circadian feature that will change the color depending on the time?
There might be something that can be installed on the hub, but if you have a dedicated computer running all the time you can use f.lux to control Hue lights.
These do not get as bright as other lights but very cool and work well with the remote switch.
They're reported as 700lm. My current retrofit kitchen lights are 950lm, but often they're too bright (we'll usually run them at about 70% - our Caseta middle button gets used a LOT in there) but sometimes it's nice to kick them up to 100%.
These are probably best for some living area where you don't often (ever?) want it to be really bright, or have additional lighting available.
I have these in my whole house and they work great. Full color; can also set schedule; all on wifi, no bub needed.
Happy so far. Don't quite get the diff between these and hue. Price difference seems to be high.

Your point #2 and 4 are not valid since both of these products are from Phillips, and if you compare the specs..they are exactly same except for hue integration

I paid 55 and tax for each few months back.
This makes it 45 and tax for each unit

Pretty sure the gougers would have bought majority of the stock and now they will again start selling these on ebay and other places for 2x the cost
