Looks like the 1100 lumen models with replace the 800 lumen models at the same price point.
$50 Color 1100
$90 color 1100 2-pack
$25 White Ambiance only 1100
$15 White 1100
Amazon listings up and Philips site updated too. 1600 lumens ones will defiantly be a higher price point but hopefully not too much.

I can't find it in Amazon. Link please?
Philips Hue 2-Pack White and Color A19 Medium Lumen Smart Bulb, 1100 Lumens, Bluetooth & Zigbee Compatible (Hue Hub Optional), Compatible with Alexa & Google Assistant
And sold out...
But...
Very happy to see brighter models.
It's not sold out. They're not out yet. This is a place holder for when they get stock.
Thanks
Hueblog says these will be more expensive than the 800 lumina & not a replacement as both will be sold.
Lol Philips hue does it again, does not get it. Their prices are among the most expensive already. They should have been released at the same price as their 800 lumina bulbs but then dropped their price by 10 to 15%. Well they just lost sales of atleast 8nofbthe new bulbs from me.
Wait are the 1600 lumen bulbs going to be white & color? Any news on when those will drop?
Any info. u/50atomic?
Damn. After I bought a haul of them for a new house. Well, the existing ones are plenty bright for what I need so I will enjoy them ^^
This is great. I need two brighter bulbs in the kitchen and was going to buy two more bulbs for other lamps.
Wondering if I should wait to see the price on the 1600s.
What's the true wattage? Higher than the old 10W/800Lumen, or more efficient modern LED's (The 10W/800lm LED's are what, 9 year old emitters now, and my brand new ultra bright 2 watt flashlight lights the room up better)?
In the UK, the 1600Lm is available for £20 the normal price for the 800Lm is about £25 for a two-pack.
White only - any news of a 1600 lumen color?
1100 lumens is like a 75watt conventional bulb.
Why? Do you need them to grow plants lol.
In the conventional era almost nobody bought these bulbs, they are way to bright to create a comfy look, they are not for livingroom not even a hall.
For the garden?
There are many use cases. I had a tall ceiling hallway with 3 800 lumens bulbs, and it was just not bright enough. The 1100 would have been perfect. Also, you can dim the 1100 to whatever level you want. You can't make the 800 any brighter. 1100 is smarter all the way around.
Well most of the time, the problem is the wrong armature (too small or closed with a glass lid) Maybe a nice open authentic industrial warehouse armature would help:) or a armature with mirror reflecting coating inside, this coating triples the lumens. it is all about how you spread the light.
But indeed i your case you need alot of lumens, but i missed that info.
It’s a huge gain for colours I imagine. While pure white was quite bright the colours on the old ones weren’t.
Personally I’d also quite like a brighter one for a dark shade I have in the bedroom.
Literally for reading in bed. The standard hue on a warmer white setting, behind a lamp shade is not really adequate for reading without eye strain.

I comfortably run 1600 lumen cool white bulbs in most of our bedrooms. Must people ran less bright lights because of heat and electrical cost issues.
"I don't like it" is not the same as "you don't need it". Keep your 800 lumen bulbs. I'll be upgrading my Hue bulbs at some point.
It has nothing to do with cost, it is just absolute tastless , you might as well use a TL armature in you kitchen, or use like 2 ceiling lamps in the livingroom.
You dont have any idea about lightfall and the way lights are ment to make your rooms look better. You just flip the switch because you need light lol.
Again.. "I don't like it" has nothing to do with anything.
Why do you want to live in a cave? I'd rather be able to see.
It's all subjective.
Then why buy hue?
Why dont you buy a construction floodlight 4000 lumens with motion censor.that will do the trick;)
Did you know they dim?
This is great news, but I'm disappointed that there's no new brighter BR30.
