If I just buy 2 of these for now and have a total of 4 recessed lights, can I use these 2 along with 2 regular light bulbs? I realize only these 2 will dim and work as smart bulbs, just need to know if they can all be used at the same time. null

Your only issue will be if you're turning all the lights on and off with a switch, as your normally would, can reset the smart bulbs. So you'd flip the lights on and they might start out as reset to full brightness when youd want them to be set to a specific brightness/ warmth The smart bulbs are intended to be on an always on circuit and then they switch themselves on through a voice assistant, a schedule, or the app.

You COULD, but you would lose basically all of the “smart” functionality, not just the dimming issue you mention, assuming all 4 lights are on the same circuit/switch. The biggest inconvenience would be that the 2 “regular” lights would have to always be on in order to use voice or mobile app activation. If the main light switch is off then the smart lights have no power and the Hue bridge can’t control them.

Yes they can.

It should be fine because each bulb is programmed individually and then grouped together. May not produce the best lighting because of the regular bulbs, but should be fine.
