I got 4 last time. I'm still waiting for two incandescent light bulbs to burn out before I put all four in, but the two I did install in the basement have been working great!

Tips:

If a dimmer switch is on the circuit with the Hue lights, the bulbs may buzz or even flicker. Making sure the dimmer is on 100% helps solve these issues; better yet is just having a basic on/off switch.

There's 3 stages to Hue ownership. First, you get the cheapest "soft white only" bulbs to see what they're about and why people say they're better than cheaper options. Second, FOMO strikes again and you find out the hub is TOTALLY worth it over just using Bluetooth, and you buy a bunch of color bulbs so that you can instantly "decorate" for the holidays. Stage 3 (or at least where I'm at now), the novelty of colors has worn off, and the scheduling, independent dimming, and remote control features are the features you use every day (and really the holidays still need more decorations anyway).
As usual, baby's first Hue lights. These have their uses but just know that they don't do any of the "wow" things people generally associate with Hue. These are locked at 2700K. Using the app (or home automation), you can set timers, dim them, and do a minor flicker effect to simulate fire. But these don't change color or temperature.

Also, as usual, Woot has bonkers pricing. 2 lights for $25 or 4 lights for $27. What?
I have 5 can lights on one switch. I can turn on just two over my island on any combination.

I can also dim them. I use Alexa for my commands.

I do have a TP-Link switch at the wall. The hue never loose their settings.

Great deal. Very useful for rooms where color isn't needed. Thank you.

Good price I got it last time, but they flicker and flashes and I have new ones that didn't do that so keep that in mind when you buy these.

I purchased these long ago to replace my overhead kitchen lights and they were so dim I couldn't even see to cook. I recommend looking at the lumen output on your existing bulbs before pulling the trigger so you don't encounter the same issue. I ended up going with LIFX BR30s instead at the time as those were the only smart bulbs I could find above 1000 lumens.

As I said, they have their uses. I have plenty of 2700k hues in my house. Some in my walk in closet that turn on/off automatically based on the door being open (I have a ring sensor). Par38s outside that can be changed individually based on what we're doing in the backyard or flashing to let me know if someone's at the front door. Etc etc. mixing hue with home automation is a winning combination.

I always try to post that warning, though, because many people are unaware that there are hue bulbs that don't do color or temperature changing.

Don't put your hue lights on a dimmer. Good Lord.

Just a heads up: does not support HDMI 2.1, so if you plan to use with gaming systems (a very good use for it!), you will not be able to get 120hz through the sync box, along with all the other bells and whistles of HDMI 2.1.

Reccomend holding off until a newer model comes out that supports this (Govee has one coming in the Summer, so Hue in theory should have a competing product).

LOL!!! I thought I was reading my own experience. However, I've really enjoyed having certain scenes on high in lieu of normal lighting to be nice. Mixes of reds, purples, and blues. I find the scenes to be easier on the eyes while still providing decent lighting.

When I got my first set of Hue bulbs, turning the dimmer all the way up wasn't enough.. I had to take the entire dimmer switch out of the wall and replace it with a standard one.
