So I got a bridge for an array of lights, but then I got to thinking. Do I actually need the bridge for functionality for an array of lights if I have a Zigbee dongle?
No. But you may find functionality is a bit different - might be worth trying it out.
You can use both, but the same lights can’t be on both networks.

Got it. I guess I need to look into this more. Thank you for the reponse.
Also, @Hypfer wrote a nice utility to replicate Hue scenes for smart bulbs migrated away from the hub (or any bulb really) that works pretty well to fill in the gaps left behind by moving your Hue over to Zigbee.
