The hue beyond looks like it is two lamps in one.

How does that appear in the eyes of the SDK? Does this mean the bridge will list it as two separate PHLights?

In the SDK you will see the indivual lights show up, depending on the type of hue beyond, you can have 2 or 4 light points. The table version for example has 1 light point in the top part and 1 light point in the bottom part. The ceiling version has 1 light point in the top part and 3 light points in the bottom part.

Next to individual light points you will see a group with type 'Luminaire' for each hue beyond, and groups with type 'LightSource' for each part.

For now this is the way to control the luminaries. We are planning to release a more developer friendly API to control these types of luminaries in future versions of the SDK.
