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.
Philips Hue isn’t being very secretive about its new products this year. A week before the big media event in Berlin, numerous new products have appeared on Amazon, revealing new details that I am, of course, happy to summarize for you. New bulbs cover a much wider white spectrum Warm white and cool white have been familiar concepts in the Hue world for years.
I’ve been waiting for this new product for years and have repeatedly bombarded Hue inventor George Yianni with questions. The next time I meet him, I’ll definitely have to come up with some new questions, because the Hue Bridge Pro is finally coming to market. With support for 150 lights and 50 accessories, as well as significantly more power.
I have already reported on the performance data of the Hue Bridge Pro, which is expected in September. The significantly more powerful bridge should be able to work with 150 lights and 50 accessories. The previous Hue Bridge was officially designed for 50 lights and 12 accessories, but slightly exceeding these numbers was not a problem until now.
This wasn’t exactly Philips Hue’s week. Less than a month before the planned announcement, numerous new products have appeared on the Philips Hue website. Even without the in-house leak, the Hue Bridge Pro would probably have ended up online these days. On Reddit, a user asked on Saturday: “What am I supposed to do with this thing?”

On its own “leaked” website, Philips Hue has already announced that new lightstrips are on the way. “Our new family of indoor and outdoor strip lights are brighter, bolder, and better than ever”, wrote the manufacturer. I can already tell you that there will be several new lightstrips. I can show you one of them today: the new Hue Outdoor Gradient Lightstrip.
In Thursday’s big Hue leak, Philips Hue already hinted that new light bulbs would be coming onto the market. These are not only supposed to consume 40 percent less energy, but also display better white tones and colors and be particularly dimmable. But that’s not all Philips Hue has in store when it comes to light bulbs.
The new Hue Bridge Pro has been leaked to the public, and the first technical data has already appeared. I have noticed numerous questions about PoE on social media and here in the comments. Power over Ethernet, or the power supply of a device via the network cable. Currently, it does not look as if the new Hue Bridge Pro will also offer Power over Ethernet, but I do not want to completely rule out the possibility of PoE at this stage.
Philips Hue itself has caused the biggest leak in recent years: numerous products that were supposed to be unveiled in September appeared on the Hue website overnight. I now have further information about the Hue Bridge Pro, the upcoming control center from Philips Hue, discovered by SmartLights. The cover photo of this article already shows you the greatly improved performance data of the new Hue Bridge Pro.
A few days ago, I was still gathering rumors, but now Philips Hue has revealed numerous new products itself—on its own website. The highlight is undoubtedly the new Hue Bridge Pro, which offers numerous improvements—and a design with two small LEDs. “Our most advanced smart home hub is faster, has more capacity, and unlocks more features than ever before,” writes Philips Hue about the new Hue Bridge Pro.
Back in July, I introduced you to the Philips Hue Linear Gradient, a light strip designed for installation in the kitchen. Currently, you can’t buy it separately, but only together with a Nobilia kitchen. I would like to reiterate at this point that I had the solution retrofitted in my home.
