I wish there were a way, though maybe not at the hardware level, to get these bulbs to go dimmer. In many circumstances, especially at night when avoiding glare off windows, just enough light to prevent tripping over things post eye adjustment would be ideal. But the lowest setting is far brighter than that.

It's a shame, really, because it seems like the expensive bulbs might meet your needs while their cheaper ones don't. Granted, the filament bulbs do seem to fall more in line with the regular bulbs, so might be worth exploring.

Both Hue Color and White Ambient (that go from cold white to warm white) have a Nightlight predefined modes that give barely any light. I also have a dimmable lightbulb from hue that looks like these hipster 19th century lights and this one doesn't go that low. There are 3 types of regular Hue bulbs, maybe you need to see the.other ones?

The later generation Hue bulbs allow you to go far dimmer than the originals.
I wish they'd supply this information before you purchase. I want to know lumen RANGE.

Prize is an accepted alternative spelling of prise, which makes it likely to me that the error here is simply a typo s/if/it/
Fixed now. Looks like “pry” was chosen.
