I didnt know Hue launched a 1600 lumen bulb, for a long time they had lower lumens than that which were not as bright as the Lifx ones.
The 1600 color bulbs are just the old color bulbs with an upgraded white LED, which is still really nice but not like... a huge upgrade if you're trying to blast really huge color. They are overpriced as heck right now. Really a bummer move.
... my money says they are coming out with a new color bulb in the next year
