There are two types of Philips Hue switches: the Hue Tap and the Hue Dimmer. Both have the advantage that they do not technically use the bridge (there are some third party apps that change this, I believe). They (at least the Tap does) directly to the Zigbee mesh network. This has the result that a Hue Tap will cause Hue lights to turn on and off faster than if you use the app.
