It’s finally time again on Sunday night: the 2024 Super Bowl is on. The Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas. If you’re watching the sporting spectacle on your TV, you can create an even more impressive atmosphere with your Philips Hue lamps. All you need is an app.
It’s been a few years since Philips Hue improved the GU10 spotlights. Back then, they became more compact, displayed better colours and were also slightly brighter. Currently, Philips Hue spots with a GU10 base deliver a maximum brightness of 350 lumens at 4,000 Kelvin. One small exception is the Hue White GU10 spotlight, which delivers an impressive 400 lumens at 2,700 Kelvin.
If you want your lights to light up rhythmically to music, you can do this directly in the Hue app. However, Hue Sync only supports Spotify, no other sources. If you prefer to listen to your music with Apple Music, the classic CD or another streaming service, then the Discotainment mode in iConnectHue (App Store link) could be something for you.
The Philips Hue Dymera, a new wall light for indoor and outdoor use, will be launched this month. With a price tag of €219.99, it’s once again no cheap buy, but that’s why I’d like to provide you with a few more details about the new product today. For once, however, this is not a real test, because in the short time available I have not found a place on or in the house where I can actually mount the Hue Dymera on the wall.
In February, Philips Hue is launching the Hue Dymera, a new wall light that is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. It will cost €219.99 and is therefore significantly more expensive than the Hue Appear or Hue Resonate, for example. However, we won’t be talking about the price and other details of the Hue Dymera today.
Over the last few days and weeks, I have received an increasing number of messages about Siri shortcuts. These can be used to create practical little automations and widgets for the home screen of the iPhone and iPad, especially for Philips Hue. However, some users are now experiencing problems with this.
We haven’t talked about the Hue Bridge for a long time. For many users, this is still the bottleneck of the system, as it gets really tight when you have around 60 lights at the latest. But accessories, scenes, rules and routines can also reach the limits of the Bridge even before that.
Philips Hue announced the Hue Secure Floodlight Camera last year. As planned, the official launch has now taken place and the outdoor light with integrated camera can now be ordered. At 349.99 euros, the Hue Secure Floodlight Camera is certainly no bargain – and that’s exactly why I’d like to provide you with my first impressions and an opinion.

On Tuesday, Philips Hue unveiled some smaller innovations for the start of 2024. These include the Philips Hue Dymera wall light, designed for indoor and outdoor use, which can shine upwards and downwards in different colours. Philips Hue advertises this feature as “Multi-Source Light Technology” – a pretty impressive name for a feature that we already know from the Philips Hue Ensis, for example.
This week I would like to deal with a question that I have probably already answered several times. But there are always new readers – and they should also be familiar with this basic function. The impetus for this is a question from Hannah in our small community area: I have some outdoor lights that switch on automatically in the evening and then switch off again automatically when controlled by Hue.
