If using hue bulbs do you have to have a hue bridge?

Here’s a thread on that remote and its availability in the UK.

FAQ: Exact remote needed to reset Hue bulbs? (UK)

Hi all, I’ve decided to get rid of the Hue bridge and pair my Hue lights directly with the SmartThings Hub. Some of the lights I bought after that choice and I’ve been able to pair them with very little effort. The bulbs that I paired with the Hue Hub, on the otherhand, have become expensive dust collectors. I’d really like to be able to factory reset them and pair them with ST. Especially because a couple of them are the really expensive multi-colour bulbs. I’m in UK and both the ST hub and Hue hub were on Zigbee Channel 11, so there should be not channel problem that other people in the forums are mentioning. I tried factory reseting the bulbs using TouchLink, but that doesn’t work. It only seems to transfer Hue bulbs from one ZLL network to another, NOT to factory reset it completel…

Looks like no one could find that specific remote for the UK but there is a Philips one working there found in that topic.
