According to Phillips [1] it is IKEA not implementing the standard as they expect it to be implemented. That said, it's hard to say who is right here. Either way, consumers are losing out.

As a side note, IKEA's brightest bulb is 1000lm which is much brighter than the brightest Hue bulb, and it's cheaper :) I can perhaps see why Phillips would not go out their way to resolve this issue.

Edit: fixed typo of watts vs lumen :)

"IKEA's brightest bulb is 1000W"

1000 Lumen. 1000 Watt bulbs exist for grow lights but IKEA doesn't make them that thirsty.
