No matter whether new bulbs from Philips Hue or smart lamps from other manufacturers. We always take a look at new accessories for your smart home.
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.
Back in January, I called for exactly that when I presented the new Philips MyCreation table lamps from the 3D printer: Small table lamps for the Philips Hue Lightguide series that are optimised for the rather chunky lamp base. You could almost think that Philips Hue has been reading my blog in this case, because as part of the launch of two new and two “old” Lightguide models, they have also introduced small table lamps from the 3D printer that are perfect for the Lightguide series.
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.
Philips Hue is apparently about to launch a new light strip. A major American retailer had already briefly listed a Hue Solo Lightstrip with a length of 5 metres. The price is particularly interesting: 89.99 US dollars are listed there. Including taxes, this corresponds to a price of around 100 euros for the German market.
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.
If you’re thinking about buying GU10 spotlights for your Philips Hue system, you should be patient for a few more weeks. Apparently the launch of improved hardware is imminent, and I have already been able to discover a new version of the GU10 spots from Philips Hue in some countries. Until now, only the simple Hue White spots, which only use warm white LEDs with 2,700 Kelvin, were bright up to 400 lumens.
The time is slowly but surely approaching when you can spend longer evenings on the patio and in the garden. If you’re looking for an alternative to the Philips Hue Festavia string lights and want a classic festoon shape, Dutch manufacturer Innr has the right gadget for you: the Innr Smart Outdoor Light String.
