Philips Hue bulb brightness about to double, but with drawbacks

If you’re unhappy with Philips Hue bulb brightness, it appears the company is about to solve the problem with a new 1600 lumen version in an E27 fitting. However, there are two drawbacks with the new model. SmartLights.de reports that it will have higher power consumption, and you’re also stuck with a single color temperature. The new White E27 lamp has a consumption of 15.5 watts. The color temperature is a fixed 2700 Kelvin and cannot be changed.
