You need the bridge here in any case. These lamps cannot be operated without it.
You can then connect the bridge to google home and use it for voice control.
The base is supplied with the power supply. The power supply has three slots to connect the first lamp and one or two extensions. The extension does not have a power supply unit.
Innotec double-sided adhesive tape usually solves the problem for me.
It is very important to get the surface free of grease and dust, so I use this company's cleaner and then press very hard and long so that the glue is activated.
Yes, that is possible. The scope of delivery includes a floor stand and an adhesive mount. I don't use it in the classic sense behind the TV, but as an indirect wall lamp.

Die neue Bridge gibts ja teilweise schon ab ca. 50.-
The black ones are available but have a delivery time of about 2 months. This is because the two colours are supplied by different suppliers. Therefore, there is also a price difference, as the suppliers do not always have the same price.
The products are sourced from two different suppliers, so we cannot adjust the price at this time :( In this case, it is effectively cheaper (at the moment) to buy the products individually.
Try this: "Ok Google, sync my lamps".
With "Ok Google, switch [name of room/name of lamp] to [colour]" you can change them. If you have synchronised Google Home and the Philips Hue app with the command "Ok Google, sync my lamps", you can even apply entire scenes to adjust the lighting mood in one go. You can then activate your existing scenes in the Hue app with the command "Ok Google, switch on [scene name] in [room name]".
If you get the components cheaper, if you buy individually, than you have to do this :-). We work with different suppliers and daily prices.
Since it can sometimes happen that a bundle is more expensive
yes - unfortunately you always need a bridge for the Hue products. At another shop, the Play is currently on offer including a free bridge... and even cheaper in a set of 2 (https://www.brack.ch/philips-hue-tischleuchte-play-830301).
Hi Tonio94
The product with extension is simply two Philips Hue Play bases.
ATTENTION: This product requires that you have the Philips Hue Bridge without this product the Hue Play base cannot be controlled.
You can use the product as a lamp but only in one colour and constant light, also you can only switch them off without the Hue Bridge by disconnecting the products from the power supply.
With the Hue Bridge you can control up to 50 lamps, so it would be possible to buy four Hue Play bases and use them together as a group.

the following is stated:
Will there be an exchange program to update my V1 bridge for a V2 Hue bridge?
Currently there is no Hue bridge exchange program planned.
Google translation:

Currently there is no Hue bridge exchange program planned.
Accordingly, it should not be backwards compatible.
Important: Can the lamps in the set of 2 be controlled individually via Hue Sync? For example, beach scene: Left lamp lights up yellow (sand), right lamp lights up blue (sea). Or do both always light up in the same colour (both blue or both yellow)?
Since both run on the same power supply, I'm afraid that all the lamps connected to it are effectively treated as one lamp and therefore all light up the same and you need a separate power supply for each lamp if you want to control them individually.
