I'd start simple then, a single 2700K hive lamp in an IKEA paper floor light and see if you can get the hive to switch it on at say 5% then raise it slowly over a time period to whatever max you want. The tuneable white option isn't much good to you this time of year as it only goes down to 2700K and you probably wouldn't want to go cooler than 3000K for 6 months of the year. I'd also steer clear of colour change unless you think you have the psychology of colour cracked.
Output of the Phillips is pretty low so don't get hung up on power. Your choice of diffuser will be much more significant hence going paper as it has good translucency vs diffusion. If you don't like paper then something like the glass FADO i guess but it might look/feel shit on low output.

Yeah - trying to do that Phillips thing on the cheap cheap - with some kind of bedside fitting and a hive colour changing bulb (we already have hive . I’d thought about lighting the room too (ie uplight). Don’t want to use the ceiling rose or bedsides.
I guess I need 1 or 2x40w equivalent led type with colour changing - some kind of fittings to either diffuse or point up - then fiddle with the hive app for colour and brightness steps over time.
