About ten days ago, I asked you a question: which features do you want for Philips Hue? But as simple as the question sounds, you can’t answer it in a simple way. Every user has different needs, expectations and ideas. Nevertheless, it quickly became clear that some features are high on the wish list.
Today, I’d like to answer a question you’ve probably already thought about: how bright are the different Philips Hue lamps? After all, there’s a huge range, from 120 lumens for the Philips Hue Bloom table lamp to 6,000 lumens for the Philips Hue Ensis pendant lamp.
I am always amazed at the creative ideas the community comes up with. At the weekend, Hueblog reader Klaus from Munich impressed me with a really clean installation, which focuses on the Philips Hue Outdoor LightStrip and a trash can box.
Unfortunately, the ultimate light switch for Philips Hue is still not available, even though we have already moved in a very good direction with the Friends of Hue products. As I have learned, Philips Hue is also interested in smart wired light switches.
I am still a little surprised when I think back to your feedback and interest in the Twinkly lights. During the Christmas season, the smart tree decoration was an absolute hit – and will probably continue to delight all buyers in the following Christmas seasons. But the Italian manufacturer also offers products for the warmer seasons: the Twinkly Festoon Lights.
Do you remember the announcement from January? Almost two months ago, Dyson introduced a new product in the lighting segment: the Lightcycle Morph. Not necessarily the successor to the Lightcycle launched last year, but much more an alternative.
What do you do when sitting at your desk at home and there is nothing exciting to do? You look around the room and discover an old Hue outdoor light that you dismantled a few weeks ago. And you remember that only a few days ago you bought a new bit set that hasn’t really been tried out yet.

As alternative to a motion detector, do you want to switch on the lamps in a room with a dimmer switch, Smart Button or Friends of Hue switch for a few minutes and then switch them off again automatically? What doesn’t work with the official Hue app is no problem with third-party apps.
Last week, I reported about a firmware update for all older Hue lights without Bluetooth. After installing the update, it was possible to dim the light even more. An innovation that led to many satisfied voices. But there is also a small problem connected with it.
The Hue Smart Button is one of the most exciting new releases in recent years. After the Hue Tap and the Hue dimmer switch, it is only the third switch to be launched directly by Philips Hue.
