I'm impressed with the white light, full spectrum brightness of the Hue.

toasterking:
Am I reading this correctly? They solved the existing problems by adding a battery that users will have to replace periodically and will cause problems when it is low? It seems more like they traded one set of problems for another!

dhouston:
I believe the problem referred to is that of the WiFi operated Hue being disabled by a standard switch left in place. Of course, this could also be solved by a blank wallplate and the older, batteryless remote.

For that matter, for those who already have the batteryless remote, it could be solved by putting duct tape over the light switch.  ;)
