Does the Centura need the Hue Bridge?

Yes. App control, schedules and Alexa or Google Assistant voice commands run through the Hue Bridge. Without it the spots work as ordinary switched lights.

Are the bulbs included?

The fixture is the recessed spot housing. The Hue LED spot bulbs it takes are separate, so check what is in the box before you plan a room.

Can I use non-Hue bulbs in it?

The fitting takes Hue spot bulbs, which is what gives you app and voice control. Standard bulbs will light it but won't be smart.

Is it suitable for a bathroom?

Check the fitting's rating for damp rooms before installing in a bathroom. Recessed spots above a shower or bath need a suitable rating.

How does it compare with Hue ceiling lights?

The Centura is a built-in spot, so it gives directional task light and a flush look. Hue ceiling lights such as the Enrave give broader, softer room light instead.

Our take on the Philips Hue Centura Recessed Spot Light (2nd Gen)

The Philips Hue Centura is a recessed ceiling spot light in the Hue smart lighting line. It takes Hue LED spot bulbs and connects through the Hue Bridge, so you can dim it, set white tones and colors, and control it with Alexa or Google Assistant. It suits kitchens, hallways and living rooms where you want built-in spots rather than lamps. Against plain recessed spots it adds app and voice control and scenes; against cheaper smart spots it ties into the large Hue ecosystem, which is its main draw.
