Back in mid-May, I was able to tell you that Philips Hue was working on two new products in the Play series and would likely release them in June: a 60-centimeter-tall Hue Play table lamp and a 135-centimeter-tall Hue Play floor lamp. The latter is labeled “Hue Play Floor Lamp Large” on the packaging.
At first, I didn’t really notice it, but some readers were much more observant earlier this week. The Hue Play Floor Lamp I discovered looks strikingly similar to the WiZ Gradient Floor Lamp (header image), which has been available since last year. While the upcoming model from Philips Hue will likely cost €149.99, the regular price for the floor lamp from sister brand WiZ is just €89.99.
In recent years, Philips Hue has consistently unveiled new products in June, and this year is likely to be no exception. The first new product has already seen the light of day—albeit not quite by intention. Even before the official announcement, I can provide you with the first details on the new Philips Hue Play table lamp and Philips Hue Play floor lamp.
