When exactly will each new Hue product be released?

This week, Philips Hue has been busy unveiling a whole bunch of new products. These include the new Hue Bridge Pro, new bulbs and light strips, the doorbell with chime, and two new Festavia models. The new products will be available in Europe by December, but in the US, some will not be available until March 2026. It’s easy to lose track of everything, so I’ve sorted the new products chronologically.

These new Hue products are available now

The most important news: the new Hue Bridge Pro is available now. My order from Thursday has already been shipped and should be delivered today. Next week, I will be able to take a look at the new Hue Bridge Pro in my smart home.

Also already available are the new light bulbs, which are equipped with Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Matter over Thread. In addition to the new Hue Essential series with GU10 and E27, there is also a completely new line-up of classic E27 bulbs with improved features. In addition to individual bulbs, you can also get various starter sets and multi-packs.

These Philips Hue innovations will be released in October

The Hue Secure Video Doorbell will be released sometime next month, but Philips Hue has not yet been able to give me a specific date. For this doorbell, which must be hardwired, I highly recommend purchasing the bundle with the Chime. According to the manufacturer, the Hue Secure Video Doorbell is not compatible with existing door chimes.

Hue Secure Video Doorbell

$199.99 / €199.99

Never miss a visitor or delivery with the Hue Doorbell. Get instant motion and visitor alerts, see it all in 2K with Starlight technology, and stay connected with two-way talk from anywhere. The doorbell triggers your Philips Hue lights and sends real-time notifications, while the Smart Chime delivers sound alerts. Everything works together seamlessly with Hue lights and accessories to elevate your home security, day and night.

The Hue Secure Chime is also available separately. This allows you to easily add another chime to your setup, for example for the basement or attic.

Also in October, the first shipment of light strips will arrive in Europe. The following models will then be launched on the market:

• Hue Flux Gradient Lightstrip (3/4/5/6/10 meters) starting at $69.99
• Hue Flux Ultra Bright Gradient Lightstrip (3/5/10 meters) starting at $99.99
• Hue Flux Gradient Outdoor Lightstrip (5/6/10 meters) starting at $149.99
• Hue Neon Gradient Outdoor Lightstrip (3/5/10 meters) starting at $139.99

There is no specific date, except for the Hue Neon Gradient Outdoor Lightstrip, for which Philips Hue has announced a specific date of October 21.

Hue fans in the US will have to wait a little longer for these four light strips, as they will not be launched until March 2026.

A new Hue product will launch in November

We can look forward to the best light strips ever from Philips Hue in November. The Hue OmniGlow Gradient Lightstrip will then be available in lengths of 3, 5, and 10 meters. Unlike the four light strips mentioned above, this date applies worldwide.

Hue OmniGlow Gradient Lightstrip

A strip light that's made to be experienced! OmniGlow delivers uniform, ultra-bright color and true white light with no visible LED 'spots' — all thanks to cutting-edge OmniGlow technology.

This is coming from Philips Hue in December

In addition to the Festavia models mentioned above, two more new products will be released in December: the Hue Essential Lightstrip and the Hue Essential Flex Lightstrip, each in 5 and 10 meter lengths.

For Hue fans in the US, there are some special features to note here. In North America, the Hue Essential Lightstrip will only be available in 5 meter lengths, and the Flex Lightstrip will not be available at all for the time being.
