In December, I introduced you to the now not-so-new T-piece for the Philips Hue Perifo track system. Among other things, I discovered that the asymmetrical shines of the Perifo system run in different directions from the T-piece. This means that you cannot place long light sources such as the Hue Perifo Gradient Light Tube or the Hue Perifo Linear Lightbar over the T-piece on the track system as they do not snap into place properly.
The Philips Hue track system was launched almost three years ago and is now also available in other countries such as the USA. However, Philips Hue Perifo is definitely not cheap. This makes it all the more important to clarify any questions before you buy. A fairly basic question has arisen in our small Hueblog community today that I would like to answer.
The Philips Hue track system is becoming even more flexible this month. More precisely, with the new flexible corner connector, which can now be ordered in the Philips Hue online shop for 34.99 euros in the colours black or white. As always, it’s not cheap, but this small accessory opens up many new possibilities.
Philips Hue has taken a little more time this year and today, just two weeks after the world’s largest trade fair for consumer electronics, presented its new products for the start of 2024. As in previous years, it’s a rather small number, but there are some very interesting candidates. The new Philips Hue Dymera wall light On Monday, I was already able to provide you with the first information about the new Dymera wall light, which made an early start in the Philips Hue online shop.
The Philips Hue Perifo track system was released in 2022 and was a real problem solver for me. After all, I was able to erase a shadow directly on the worktop in the kitchen. It was very helpful for me that Philips Hue not only offers a classic 230 volt power supply on the ceiling, but also an external power supply unit with plug.
Actually, it was supposed to be ready in spring, but in the end it took a little longer than planned. In the context of the IFA announcement, Philips Hue has now announced that the Matter update for the Hue Bridge, which was promised last year, will be rolled out in September.
I have already reported several times about the Philips Hue Perifo track system, which was released in summer 2022. While I have already installed the spots in my kitchen, I have not yet tested the Hue Perifo Linear Lightbar. Today we want to change that. The technical data of the 95-centimetre-long lightbar, which can simply be plugged into a Perifo rail, are impressive.
I have already reported about the new Philips Hue Perifo track system, especially my impressions around the external power supply turned out very positive. For me, the rail, which I currently have equipped with three spots, is a real problem solver in my kitchen. As a test, I have now inserted a Perifo pendant luminaire into the rail.
The Philips Hue Perifo track system was officially launched this week. The availability is still quite modest, but this should improve considerably in the course of the next few weeks. I have been using one of the available Perifo bundles for over a month now – and would like to give you a short summary today.
Today, the Philips Hue Perifo track system is officially launched. In the official Philips Hue online shop, numerous bundles are already listed, but you can’t order the Perifo sets and individual parts yet. Other retailers, such as Click-Licht.de, promise availability only in about four weeks. However, I did discover one interesting detail: The ceiling power supply of the Perifo track system has a small cap on the side that can be easily removed if you want to disconnect the power supply “externally”.
