I don't need any more bulbs, but I figured for this price, getting an extra hub would be the nice. I don't have any where near the 50 recommended max amount of Hue devices connected, but I wanted to add the second hub in the basement. I figured it would act as an additional node, like how node routers work (i.e. Eero) so that I wouldn't have connection issues, but I investigated on Google just to be sure.
The result... if you plan on using more than one hub, know that you will need a separate account. Each hub acts independently to each other, so you cannot access devices of one hub from another. It doesn't sound difficult to switch over to your other hub/account, but that kind of defeats the purpose for my intention. The only reason for having more than one hub, from what I can reason, is if it's for a secondary home/house/apt/etc, if you live in a mansion, if you've exceeded the recommended max allowance per Hue hub (I read somewhere that 50 devices is not a hard cap, so 50+ devices are "possible"), or you just want to group devices beyond what you can already do (like per room/space) to devices per account. Actually, the last one could be the strat if you live in a home with a large family, and everyone wants to control their lights independently without accidentally turning on/off someone else's light or vice versa.

1) This just says dimmable: "Set the right mood
Hue bulbs and light fixtures use a soft white light. Dimmable from bright daylight to low nightlights, these smart lights allow you to fill your home with just the right level of warm light when you need it."
2) But in the specs it says: "Color Temperature: Adjustable white"
And searching the model number elsewhere it's still vague. Basically I only want them if at full brightness they are closer to "daylight" color temperatures (which some wording hints at, but never states a Kelvin range anywhere that I can find.)
Edit: By "Daylight" I mean at least 5K (so if at 100% they are just "bright but still yellow (2700k or something) I definitely couldn't use them.

But excellent advice, I appreciate it, as I'll probably be near 50 devices before long (counting several dimmer switches, and a few motion sensors, etc). But nice to hear it's just a soft-cap, so I may not need to worry about a second hub like I thought I might.
