We have multiple lamps in our living room. For the bedroom, which is also my WFH office, I've added a 100W LED that's intended for warehouse lighting but fits nicely on top of our Ikea uplighter. It's controlled by a Zigbee power socket, which means I can connect it to Hue as a "light" or SmartThings as a "switch" depending on which behaviour I want.
It's not quite as smooth a transition as pure Hue, but it means I can add a _lot_ of brightness when I want it.
The ceiling panel is really nice, and bright enough for the small area directly under it (which is my desk) but the rest of the room still seems a bit dim in comparison.
Unfortunately the Hue app doesn't really know about lamp brightness -- if you ask for all lamps on really dim, and one lamp's not dimmable, it'll switch that one on anyway.
