Prior to today’s official announcements by Philips Hue regarding their new lineup of products, some had already been inadvertently leaked, including their Gradient Light Tube, and the updated Gradient Signe floor and desk lamps.
The one range of products that seem to dominate this release cycle is the company’s Gradient products – Light Strip, Signe, and Light Tube – all of which can emit multiple colours at the same time, as opposed to single solid colours. This follows on from their recently released Gradient light strip specifically designed to fit behind TVs.
The brand-new Philips Hue Play gradient light tube features gradient technology that blends multiple colours of lights in a single lamp or fixture and is specially designed to sit above or below a TV. You can complete your home theatre set up with the Play gradient light tube in either black or white, allowing it to blend in with any home’s décor.
The upgraded Philips Hue gradient Signe floor and table lamps, available in black or white, and the Philips Hue ambiance gradient light strip, also offer the same level of colour functionality, but in slightly different form factor for the strip, and a new design for the Signe Floor and table lamps.
All Philips Hue Filament bulbs are now also available in White ambiance, making it possible to use any shade of warm-to-cool white light. These vintage-style LED smart bulbs brighten the room by using blue-toned light when you need to concentrate during your workday and then dim to golden tones to create a cosy and warm ambiance to relax. And they even look beautiful switched off! Additionally, the Filament range will continue to grow with a White Filament E14 candle bulb. Furthermore, the iconic-shaped Philips Hue smart bulbs across the White, White ambiance, and White and colour ambiance portfolios are now also available in variations of 1100 and 1600 lumen, enabling users to choose the perfect type of brightness for each activity and part of the home.
The new lineup of Philips Hue ceiling lights bring millions of colours to your living room or bedroom. The Philips Hue Surimu ceiling panel sits almost flush with the ceiling and comes in both rectangular and square designs — ideal to enhance a sense of space for smaller living areas or homes with lower ceilings. Available in black and white, the Philips Hue Enrave ceiling light offers warm-to-cool white light for the living room, bedroom or kitchen. The Enrave is also available as a pendant, shining a powerful light downward at a dining room table or kitchen island while casting a subtle decorative glow upward. Later this year, the Philips Hue Infuse ceiling light will also be launched, which provides white and coloured light with subtle indirect light on the ceiling.
Smart lighting in the bathroom can help you feel refreshed and ready to go every morning or help you relax in the evening. To create a luxurious atmosphere with the first Philips Hue light that brings millions of colours to the bathroom, install the chrome Philips Hue Xamento recessed spots, featuring a minimalistic design in chrome. Additionally, the Philips Hue Devere ceiling light offers a combination of powerful warm-to-cool white light as well as indirect light effects. The Philips Hue bathroom lights range will be further expanded later this year with the Philips Hue Xamento ceiling light that also provides white and coloured light.
New software updates for unique lighting experiences
From September 1, the recently launched Philips Hue app 4 features dynamic scenes. Instead of each light remaining at only one colour, dynamic scenes allow the lights in the Room or Zone to slowly transition through the different colours of the scene and create an atmosphere unlike any other.
Additionally, Signify already announces another new feature to be added to the Hue scene gallery in Fall 2021. With specially designed scenes that run 24 hours, your lights will adjust their colour and brightness as time passes. The first new scene, natural light, mimics the sun’s movement throughout the day with warm-to-cool white light to support your productivity as well as your overall wellbeing. The time slots can be customized based on your daily routine. Start with bright, cool tones to energize your mornings and end your day with warmer, golden glows that help you relax as the sun goes down.
Lastly, gaming fanatics will welcome the upcoming software update to the Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box in Fall 2021. Users will be able to update their sync box to be compatible with the newest game consoles’ 120Hz support, ensuring competitive players to be on top of the game with the highest refresh rate. The sync box is able to support 120Hz with an image resolution of 1080p and 1440p. Alternatively, if the highest image resolution is preferred, the current sync box also continues to support a 4K image resolution up to a refresh rate of 60Hz.
