Philips Hue unveiled seven new light strips at the beginning of the month, the first of which is now available in Europe. You can already buy the Hue Flux Lightstrip in lengths of 3, 4, 5, and 10 meters, but the six-meter version is not yet available. Nevertheless, the light strip has gotten off to an early start; it was actually supposed to be released in October.
When we moved into our small terraced house with a garden eight years ago, I naturally took care of the lighting in the garden right away. Calla, Lily, and Outdoor Lightstrip have always been part of it, and now Impress wall lights and the classic Hue Festavia string of lights are also on board.
In addition to the new Philips Hue Play Wallwasher, a new Philips Hue Smart Button was also released this week. Whether this is the second or third generation is debatable. One thing is clear: the new Hue Smart Button is significantly larger and more angular than its predecessor. I have gathered my first impressions for you and will be happy to answer any questions in the comments.
It had already been revealed, and now the time has finally come: the new Philips Hue Play Wall Washer is now available. I’ve already had the chance to try out the new mood lighting and have compiled my impressions in a short review for you. If you have any specific questions that aren’t answered in the following lines, feel free to write them in the comments.
Philips Hue introduced the new Tento series last year and all variants are now available in stores. However, sales have so far been limited to mainland Europe; the ceiling panel is not yet available in the UK or the USA. In Germany, Philips Hue is limiting sales of the Tento series to a few selected DIY stores, where prices have been very stable so far.
After Aurelle and Surimu, Philips Hue presented two more LED panels for the ceiling in June: Hue Tento and Hue Datura. I already shared a few words with you yesterday about the affordable Tento series, which will be available soon. Today we want to take a detailed look at the Philips Hue Datura, which I have already been able to install in my home.
In the past, when it came to recessed spotlights, Philips Hue required two things in particular: Money and a decent installation depth. Up to now, a cavity of 10 centimetres was required if you wanted to install spotlights directly into the ceiling. The new Philips Hue Slim recessed light changes all that – now all you need is money.
The Philips Hue Lightguide is not entirely new, it has been with us for around a year and a half. However, the new releases from Philips Hue in June include a total of four new shapes. The previously available Lightguide Ellipse is joined by Edison, Triangle and a large and small Globe.
The time is slowly but surely approaching when you can spend longer evenings on the patio and in the garden. If you’re looking for an alternative to the Philips Hue Festavia string lights and want a classic festoon shape, Dutch manufacturer Innr has the right gadget for you: the Innr Smart Outdoor Light String.
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.
