Nuked Smart lighting company Philips Hue has new products that can help you spruce up your outdoor space. You can enjoy spending more time outside when the ice melts.
Signify, which owns Philips Hue, has announced three new additions to its outdoor smart lighting line, all arriving in the US on March 1st, 2022. Plus, two new lighting effects are scheduled to arrive on the hue app later this year.
The Philips Hue inara wall light is a vintage-style outdoor wall light featuring a filament bulb. Also known as an Edison bulb, the filament bulb resembles that first incandescent bulb designed by Thomas Edison.
This is the first outdoor version we’ve seen. You ca n’t buy the outdoor bulb alone and pop it into an existing fixture. It’s only available inside the inara’s black vintage-style lantern.
The inara does n’t have the color-changing options of hue’s signature bulbs. You can adjust the brightness of the filament bulb in the app, with a remote control. It’s compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple’s Siri, and Google assistant voice assistants.
The new Lucca wall light is an outdoor wall fixture with a round shape and black bands wrapped around it. $ 99.99, available on March 1st.
The Lucca offers white or color-changing light and is designed to be bold and bright, making it a good choice for smart lighting on a porch or balcony space where you want to be able to see what you’re doing.
The resonate wall light in black is available March 1st for $ 159.99. This is more of an atmospheric addition, with a minimalist design that casts either white light or colored light up and down a wall. This type of light is commonly used for highlighting architectural features.
Hue products also work with Amazon Alexa, Google home, Samsung SmartThings, and Apple HomeKit smart HomeKit smart home platforms.
Signify announced that the Philips Hue app is getting an update in the first quarter of 2022. New effects are coming to the company’s indoor bulbs, candle and fireplace.
