Hue Go XXL: Lounge Table Makes Another Appearance in Official Presentation And Two More Potential New Products

And Two More Potential New Products

Last year it was just an April Fools’ joke, but it will most likely soon be a real product. We’re talking about the Hue Go XXL, for which an icon had already appeared in the Hue app a few weeks ago. Now, the massive lounge table has made multiple appearances in the video recording of Capital Markets Day 2026—right where the Hue Play Screen Sync camera was also visible.

Philips Hue isn’t doing a very good job of keeping its new products under wraps this year either—products that are expected to be unveiled in early September at IFA in Berlin. Following the new Festavia string lights and outdoor wall lights, today I can show you a new camera for Hue Sync.

Hue Semeru: New Wall Light with a Familiar Name Two New Outdoor Products Have Leaked

Two New Outdoor Products Have Leaked

Hue Semeru might sound familiar to you. Under this name, Philips Hue has sold various models in the Asia-Pacific region over the past few years, including table, wall, and ceiling lights. Those models are likely a thing of the past now, but the name remains. Two affordable new outdoor wall lights are expected to be released in September.

Curtain, Icicle, and Net

We’d been waiting for this for so long, and in November 2022, the moment finally arrived: The Hue Festavia string lights hit the market. A year after the launch of the 20-meter-long string of lights with 250 LEDs, two additional versions followed, measuring 8 and 40 meters in length. In 2025, the Festavia Globe and the Festavia Permanent were introduced.

Philips Hue Fixes Hue Bridge Pro Update Bug New Firmware Released

New Firmware Released

When some Hue users discovered in June that their Hue Bridge Pro had stopped working after an update, it caused quite a stir. Philips Hue identified the issue relatively quickly and, according to its own statements, determined that fewer than 100 devices worldwide were affected. So the damage was limited, even though the situation was, of course, extremely frustrating for affected users.

Philips Hue Play Floor Lamp or Maybe the Hue Gradient Signe Instead? Different, Yet Somehow the Same

Different, Yet Somehow the Same

In June, Philips Hue launched several new products, including the new Hue Play floor lamp. Its design is clearly reminiscent of the Philips Hue Gradient Signe, which has been available for several years now. The price difference between the two floor lamps, however, is striking. I’d like to explain the differences to you—just as I did with the smaller table lamps.

A new Hue wall switch module, or maybe a Shelly instead? Turning a “dumb” light into a smart one

Turning a “dumb” light into a smart one

Philips Hue unveiled several new wall switch modules on Tuesday – unfortunately only in Europe. Three of them are designed to integrate “simple” ceiling lights—without smart connectivity—into the Hue system. But couldn’t you just use a Shelly instead? After all, they’ve been on the market for much longer and cost just under half as much.

Hue manufacturer launches new Skylight and forgets smart connectivity Natural daylight indoors

Natural daylight indoors

About a year and a half ago, I visited Signify, the manufacturer of Philips Hue, in Eindhoven. While there, I had the opportunity to experience the Lighting Application Center—and saw a truly impressive ceiling light: the Philips Skylight with NatureConnect technology. A ceiling light that looks like a skylight. Until now, this product was intended for professional settings, such as offices, lobbies, and medical practices.
