Yesterday I already drew your attention to the latest update of the Philips Hue app. Version 5.21 brings some new features, including the ability to start sleep automation at the touch of a button on a Hue switch. But how exactly does this work and what do you need to bear in mind?
Once again, there is a new update for the Philips Hue app. Version 5.20 has been skipped, instead you can now download version 5.21 from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. I will be presenting some of the new functions to you in detail in the coming days, but today there is a brief overview of the new features.
In the past, when it came to recessed spotlights, Philips Hue required two things in particular: Money and a decent installation depth. Up to now, a cavity of 10 centimetres was required if you wanted to install spotlights directly into the ceiling. The new Philips Hue Slim recessed light changes all that – now all you need is money.
The Philips Hue Lightguide is not entirely new, it has been with us for around a year and a half. However, the new releases from Philips Hue in June include a total of four new shapes. The previously available Lightguide Ellipse is joined by Edison, Triangle and a large and small Globe.
Even before the official launch on Tuesday, I was able to tell you that Philips Hue will be launching another light strip. The Hue Solo Lightstrip is now available – in three versions. The 3 metre long light strip is available exclusively from the Philips Hue online shop, while the 5 and 10 metre lengths will also be available from independent retailers.
After I was able to share the first pictures of the new Philips Hue Twilight last week, there was a lot of mockery about the design. No wonder, because at that time you couldn’t complain about the price of the new bedside lamp. Today I had the opportunity to try out the Hue Twilight myself for the first time.
Last week I was able to introduce you to some new products from Philips Hue. Among other things, there are brighter GU10 spotlights, but also a whole new product category with the Philips Hue Twilight. You have also already seen the new, affordable Philips Hue Solo Lightstrip. Today, Philips Hue has made its new products for June 2024 official – and I would like to take a first look with you.
I already showed you the first product photos of a new bedside lamp from Philips Hue yesterday, but I have since been able to find out more technical details. And the colleagues from Smartlights have also discovered more product images, which I have included at the end of this article for you.
I’ve already told you that the launch of new GU10 spotlights and Lightguide lamps is imminent. However, Philips Hue probably has another new product in the pipeline, a bedside lamp to be precise. Philips Hue has already taken a similar approach with the Gradient Signe table lamp, which is also placed on a bedside table in a number of product images.
The Hue Bright Days don’t actually start until May 27, but you already have the chance to take advantage of great offers in many countries. There is a 30 percent discount on many products directly in the Philips Hue online store, and in some countries there are even additional promotions with discounts of up to 40 percent – ending on June 9th.
