Questions about Philips Hue White & Color BT

Unfortunately, that seems to be correct.

Due to different suppliers and delivery conditions, there may be price differences compared to other suppliers, especially in international comparison. We always try to set a price in line with the market, but this is not possible for all products. We always try to compare ourselves with the most relevant suppliers, but we cannot always take all of them into account.

With a Hue Bridge, this is possible...

It seems to be 470lm @4000K and 320lm @2700K. So it depends on the temperature you choose (cool white or warm white).

According to the information available to us, they do not appear to be exactly the same bulbs (4 W versus 5.3 W).

If you have already bought one of the new Philips Hue light bulbs, for example the new White Ambiance Filaments, then you may have already noticed it: On the obligatory energy label, the bulbs now only get a G instead of an A+. I’ll tell you today what this is all about. The basis for the changes is a new Ecodesign Regulation, which requires manufacturers to produce even more efficient products. At the same time, a new Energy Labelling Regulation was introduced, which is valid from 1st September. As part of this, a new scale was introduced, which will ultimately be reflected on the product packaging. The requirements for the manufacturers have been increased, so to speak. Let’s take a look at the example of filament lamps: The classic White Filament consumed 7 watts of energy at a maximum brightness of 550 lumens. These approximately 78 lumens per watt have so far been sufficient to obtain the A+ energy label. On the new energy label, however, it is only enough for energy label G. For the F rating, 85 lumens per watt would be required, and for class A even 210 lumens per watt.

My understanding is that this model here is the newer one and can be controlled via Bluetooth or the Hue Bridge. The other model is older and only works with the bridge. The price difference is most likely because the other model is not sold directly by Digitec, but by Pfister.

I think so too, the new ones might also sell more. The smart home lamps are really on the upswing.
