A: You can control your lights from anywhere that you have an internet or cellular connection.
Q: Can I use one bridge for the light bulbs and light strip?
A: The bridge (at least in my experience with the Hue Bridge 2nd Genration) it will control multiple devices without issue. I own the Phillips Hue Bridge (2nd generation), 2 sets of Lightstrip plus, and 3 Phillips Hue White E26 bulbs. They all connect to the bridge without issue. As I've shared in a review, if for whatever reason the bridge cannot auto detect your devices, it is wise to be proactive and write down / save the serial number off of the bulbs, and OR save the serial number from the lightstrip itself (I believe this is located on the inside of the light strip plus box). This allows you to manually detect the devices (if needed) via your smartphone app.
A: I have the HUB in my basement and the HUE lights in my bedroom which is 2 floors up from the basement I have no issue with range. Plus the more lights you add the better the signal gets as the lights act as repeaters for each other.
