“Is it possible to replace a Verbatim E356248 with this? See the attachment. I don't need the bulb adapter, I can use the orange connector directly, correct?”

E356248 is a UL file number, not a specific Verbatim model number produced under that file. On a pragmatic level, none of the verbatim models under that UL file is a fixture itself, they are all retrofit inserts meant to be installed in an existing downlight can that’s wired into the building. If the verbatim housing was installed properly, the answer would be, remove the verbatim adapter, unscrew it from the lamp holder, install the Hue retrofit as supplied. If the verbatim retrofit adapter was installed as if it’s a fixture, the proper answer is to shut off the circuit breaker, inspect the building for other unsafe wiring, and install a lighting fixture and correct any other wiring defects before restoring the deficient circuit(s) to service. The answer to the question as written depends on the hue device fitting inside the trim ring of the verbatim retrofit and if it does if that connector is a simple 120v connection. If your installation uses the 0-10v dimming interface for the existing lamp it’s unlikely. It also depends on whether or not the “field replaceable led array” in the verbatim fixture is a “safety critical component” that can only be replaced with a part that provided some specific safety feature. The verbatim label on the outside of the fixtures will read in part “For use only with products described and installed in accordance with the instructions provided with this retrofit kit. Made in China.” For Model 99339 it also says 100-277v 50/60Hz 0.4A 0-10v 40W 4000K A266SF … that model fits industrial 8” downlights, has a 3400 lumen lamp module, and a 0-10v dimmer interface. A 700 lumen lamp would be 1/5th as much light, probably not a satisfying choice.
