No complaints at all, I like it a lot.
The lights in the kitchen:
- Hue Centris — provides general lighting in half of the kitchen from the flood part of the light, and then task lighting to the worktop and sink (where there is no under cabinet lighting). The flood is sufficient to see in all cabinets on either side of the room.
- Under cabinet lighting via Hue LED strips — this is ambience / task lighting, it's nice and I would miss it if were not there but the Hue Centris is doing a lot of heavy lifting and this is just filling the places where our bodies would cast shadows.
- Lights from the extractor hood — these are essential for cooking, they are perfect daylight colour and bright, and the light cuts through steam, etc
- A single Hue lamp on the dining table — provides a pool of light on the table, and a bit on the ceiling.
In this setup, the Hue Centris is doing the majority of the work in the kitchen, followed by the extractor hood lighting, and the under counter and dining table are providing some ambience and little more.
I went full colour for all lighting - but honestly I never use it. It's really just the whites and warm shades / red tint and nothing else.

@Velocio how is the hue centris treating you a few years on? It still seems like a nice way to have both flood and task lighting in the functional end of a kitchen - any gripes?
