I've been using these for about 2 weeks now and they work great. Just ordered a couple more so Alexa can earn her keep.

I take it you need the bridge for these to work?

You do I'm afraid. Got mine on the Ocado/ Groupon offer a few weeks back. I've heard they usually come on offer Black Friday.

well the bulbs will work without a hue bridge but you won't be able to dim them or anything, so they would basically just be on a default setting.

LIFX.
Better and bridgeless. Just wait for offers.

If you have a lot of these bulbs, aren't you still better with hue, aren't they more stable etc?
BTW, have way too many of the hues, but am yet to try LIFX

Why on earth haven't they release a Hue light switch?

Maybe they're afraid they'd make less money from the bulbs?
I have 8 'dumb' LED GU10s in the kitchen that I'd love to be able to automate with Alexa and a Hue motion sensor if a switch became available, but I'm not going to spend £200 replacing all the bulbs.
they have, 2 different ones. really easy to install too.

I'm in the same boat, would rather replace switches in various rooms than loads of bulbs, I've had a look and cant seem to even find a smart light switch.
