[QUOTE="hank, post: 404913, member: 26920"] Marvo, Thanks for your reply. The Hue bulbs work such that if they are switched off at the mains (i.e. by a switch) the next time they receive power they turn on in neutral white colour. So even without a zigbee connection they can be operated manually with the switches in the same way as any other bulb. So I wouldn't need to change all the bulbs if the zigbee goes down, just flick the switches on and off. Does anybody know where I can find steel/chrome key switches? I'm keen to avoid the modular option if possible due to depth of back box and just because they look a little difficult / fiddly to put together. (If that's not the case I'd welcome links to good/easy options and any instructions). Thanks [/QUOTE]
