These came out a while ago in the UK but I've been waiting for them to show up in Canada, looks like the US just got them so hopefully we're not far behind.

I like the clean look and the light bars look useful, but of course since they're hue they're $$.

That now you can't use unless you agree to sell Phillips all your data and firstborn child.

They're zigbee, just don't use their controller and there's no problem while also being faster + more reliable.
