And yes, like most of the Hue lineup, you need a zigbee hub, preferably the Hue one if you want to use their app, etc, although you can control them with any one, like the SmartThings hub, for example.
You can get Hue hubs for a song on eBay, since during Black Friday/Prime Day/etc, there are often sales where the starter kits with the hub are cheaper than the bulbs by themselves. I think I have four of them in a box somewhere, in addition to the one I use and the one I passed on to my folks.

There are cheaper smart lights that run over wifi, but then you have your wifi network congested with 30+ lights each with their own IP address, slowing everything down, including their own response time. They really aren't worth it in the long run. There is a reason most decent smart home devices don't use wifi, but an independent mesh network like Zigbee, Matter, Thread, Z-Wave, etc. Wifi is fine for security cameras, where you need the bandwidth, but for small, fast commands, it sucks.

Been in hue ecosystem for a very long time, zero concerns. They just work. 8+ year old hue bulbs, still working.
I started with LIFX because they were cheaper but switched over to hue shortly thereafter. All of LIFX products have crapped out for one reason or another.

This one does not come with a power supply so either you will add to an existing setup or get a separate one. I've seen some aftermarket ones that are much cheaper than the hue brand.

All Hue lights run on the Zigbee smart home protocol (although the basic bulbs have limited functionality once BT as well), which means you need a Zigbee hub. It doesn't NEED to be a Hue hub, but the Hue hub works with their app, which offers some additional Hue-specific options.There are cheaper smart lights that run over wifi, but then you have your wifi network congested with 30+ lights each with their own IP address, slowing everything down, including their own response time.

I don't mind a zigbee or matter hub. At least I don't need one per brand. One hub to rule them all. Also, the concerns about WiFi congestion is overblown. Any decent router can easily handle 50+ devices. If you can get one that's triband, there are zero worries of any kind. I have 50 devices on my WiFi and have no issues.
