Not sure exactly where I'll use these just yet, but I rarely ever see these bulbs for around $25 each. In for one pack. Thanks, OP!
I put these in recessed cans and they work fine. I've have probably 30+ in cans for close to 6 years and I had 1 die on me and 1 keep coming on and off randomly but oddly enough it was from the same can so maybe some weird issue with that one recessed can.
I think they work fine in cans that are in a normal ceiling height but if you have cathedral or vaulted ceilings it might not throw the light as much as you need it too.

Good to know you can use these in can lights. I have about 6 can-specific hue bulbs that I've been using for over 5 years now, and all have worked pretty much flawlessly since day 1.
These bulbs are certainly not the cheapest option out there, but they have been by far the most reliable (compared to the Wiz bulbs I have).

Yeah, Hue would be way more popular at a slightly lower price point. Everything Hue product has been really good quality and works right out the box no issues.

It depends a bit on the cans for whether these work well. I replaced some incandescent BR40 bulbs in cans with these when I first moved into my new house. Because the cans were made for bigger bulbs, it ended up funneling the light almost straight down, doing a poor job of illuminating the room. There is no BR40 hue bulb, so I eventually swapped out the bulbs for the dedicated hue downlights instead and it worked much better.
So while it will work in cans, keep in mind that it will light a narrower area than a properly sized/shaped bulb.
Really should've discounted the 1100 lumen (75 watt equivalent) to this price if anything. Even still, damn overpriced, but Hue is great.
I agree. I find the normal color bulbs too dim to use other than in a side lamp. I wish they would put the white ambiance bulbs on sale. I much prefer those to the colored. I just can't find a use for the colored bulbs.

These are bright enough for me but it would depend on your home, fixtures, etc. My ceiling fans take 3, other bedrooms take 2. Older house. I agree you'd need your fixture to take at least two.
Here are some of the ways I take advantage of the colors:
- When I dismiss my morning alarm, a Google Home automation turns the indoor lights on and sets them to the "Energize" scene to help wake me up faster.
- I turn on Music Sync which is connected to Spotify on my phone and cast it across the whole place during parties.
- I set my porch light to Blue temporarily when I order something for delivery, and put it in the driver instructions. Countless drivers have said how much easier this makes their job.
- Most colors even at max brightness use less energy than whites or yellows. Rather than turning my lights off when I leave I set the indoor lights to the "Tokyo" scene. Philips has an article on how color affects energy and even which scenes use the least energy. Tokyo and Rio use very little. Anyway, this allows me to leave lights on for my pets when I am gone and use very little power doing so. I also have one indoor camera with no night vision, so it allows that to function if I'm gone at night.
- I have another Google Home automation that makes all the lights mimic police lights, going between blue and red violently. I haven't had to use this, but if I had an intruder or spotted a possible one on my outdoor cameras I think triggering it would be a deterrent.

Yep. I still use them for the bedroom fans and stuff since I can use at least 2 bulbs at once, but I recently replaced our goosnecked (for lack of a better term) standing lamp in the living room with the 1600 lumen one. Snagged of eBay new for $33 (best offer), but they usually hover around $38Ish. What a night and day difference! The bulb is a bit bigger being A21 sized instead of the normal A19, but since it's covered by a shade, it fits fine.

That's why they are priced that way... Lol cheaper gives you headaches...
Novelty wore off real fast. It was fun wowing friends and family how I could change the ceiling light colors once or twice, but for daily use, I was struggling with the low light output. Replaced all the BR30 hue bulbs with bulbs that put out 2x the lumen and so glad I did.
Is Lifx the only smart bulb company that makes true 1100 lumen colored, super saturated bulbs? Remember reading how even the "1600" lumen colored Hue bulbs still only output 800-lumen colored light. Not to mention the color depth is limited to 16.7m vs way more on the Lifx.
