I've replaced almost all the bulbs in my house with the 800 lumen white & color hue bulbs and find them plenty bright. However, they recently came out with 1600 lumen (16W/100W equiv.) bulbs which doubles the lumens of the standard ones. I haven't tried them but I'm hoping to soon.

Didnt know about the 1600 lumen version, looks like its not in stock in Australia.

The hue 800 ones were noticeably darker compared to the Lifx so I went with Lifx, this was many years back.

The 1600 lumen ones are a game changer if your light fixture only has 2 sockets. I used to have 2 800s and swapped them for 2x1600s, significantly better, and if they ever came out with a 2000+ lumen bulb I would pick it up.
