5 metres between power supply and controller

The long-awaited accessories for the Hue Flux light strip have finally been available for a few days now in Europe. You’ve been waiting especially for the corner connectors and flexible connectors. These are, of course, only compatible with the Hue Flux Lightstrip and the Hue Flux Ultra Bright. But what about the five-metre extension cable?

Philips Hue offers new replacement parts for outdoor lamps Replace discoloured or defective diffusers

Replace discoloured or defective diffusers

Philips Hue has been offering a number of replacement parts for just over a year. These are primarily parts that can be easily replaced by the user, such as external power supplies or mounts for light strips. In the event of ‘genuine’ defects in the LED units, there is still no real recourse outside of the warranty.

The original Hue Play HDMI Sync Box is now sold out What happens next?

What happens next?

It’s been quite a while since Philips Hue introduced the improved Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K for €349.99. The improved model was launched in September 2024. The 8K version is particularly useful for gamers who want to use 4K at 120 hertz. However, since 8K and a frame rate of more than 60 hertz don’t really play a big role in the normal world, the expensive Hue Sync Box is almost a niche product.

More possibilities for Philips Hue light strips

Hue Flux light strips have been available in Europe for quite some time, and they are set to launch in North America in March. However, we’ve had to wait for the matching accessories, which Philips Hue unveiled back in September at the major IFA event in Berlin. Now the time has finally come: the connectors and extensions are available in the Philips Hue online store and should also be available in stores soon.

Philips Hue Flourish: Review of the elegant table lamp Now even brighter than before

Now even brighter than before

It has been several years since Philips Hue introduced its brighter 1,100-lumen bulbs. Compared to the “old” 806-lumen bulbs, this is an increase of 36 percent, which is particularly noticeable with white light. The new Philips Hue bulbs are now even equipped with Matter over Thread – and are also built into the Philips Hue Flourish.

You can easily recognize the new generation by the large Hue logo and the four symbols for Matter, Apple Home, Google Home, and Samsung Smartthings.

New firmware update released

Philips Hue has released another firmware update. However, unlike most updates, this one is not for its Hue Bridge, but for its accessories. This is extremely rare, as the last software update for Philips Hue switches and motion sensors was in December 2024. Software versions 67.116.1, 2.85.1, and 2.85.5 are now being rolled out for all battery-powered accessory products.

The next small product upgrade

Philips Hue is expected to update some of its existing products in February. The Philips Hue Flourish table lamp will be equipped with a brighter and matte-compatible light source. The same applies to the Hue Turaco series, consisting of wall lamps, pedestal lamps, and path lamps. The upgrade here is particularly extensive, as only a Hue White bulb has been used up to now.

All seven new Philips Hue light strips in one video Which one is your favourite?

Which one is your favourite?

Last September, Philips Hue introduced a total of seven new light strips. These are also available in different lengths, giving us a total of 21 different variants. It’s easy to lose track of them all. Especially since not all of the new Philips Hue light strips are available yet. Here in Europe, for example, the Hue Essential series is still missing, which is expected to be released together with the Flux accessories in the eighth calendar week – at least according to my latest information.
