So far only available as White Ambiance

A few weeks ago, my colleague Frederick installed the round Philips Hue Aurelle in his living room; the large rectangular model of the LED panel has been hanging in my kitchen since its introduction. There is no question that the Aurelle, which is bright up to 4,200 lumens, is a real perennial favourite.

Already listed in their own US shop

I could tell you stories now that would make you lose your faith. But now I’m not quite sure how serious Philips Hue is about keeping its new products secret. After all, they have just put some of the new products online in their own American shop. To be more precise, it’s about the new generation of lamps that are supposed to offer a brightness of up to 1,100 lumens, which is almost 40 per cent brighter than the previous Hue lamps with a brightness of 806 lumens.

Lumen number depending on colour temperature

A normal Philips Hue lamp achieves 806 lumens. We have become used to this in recent years. We already know that this will soon change, because a month ago I was able to reveal new Hue bulbs that also manage up to 1,100 and 1,600 lumens. But that’s not the only change we can look forward to.

Handy power strip from Sunricher with ZigBee on the way Four plugs and two USB ports

Four plugs and two USB ports

When Lidl had a power strip with ZigBee on sale for just under 30 euros last December, the interest was really high. Unfortunately, there was a small problem: despite Lidl’s promises, the power strip could not be paired with the Philips Hue Bridge.

Bulbs already available for 7.99 euros

A few weeks ago, Hueblog reader Johan from Sweden was kind enough not only to inform me about the launch of the new filament lamps from Ikea, but also to get me the novelties when they were not yet available in Germany. Unfortunately, it took a little longer than planned with the postal delivery and in the meantime I was able to find out that Philips Hue will launch its first E14 filament in autumn.
