The Philips hue variety of wise bulbs is seen by many as a fantastic gateway into the world of house automation. We truly wouldn’t suggest against that, as well as with lots of geeky types telling us at every turn that we should join the house automation revolution, it seems that turning our lights on as well as off utilizing our smartphones or with the assist of a routine is something we truly are going to have to get utilized to.
To that end, Philips has already grown its original hue lineup with new designs that make it possible for more as well as more people to get in on the act, as well as the business is now adding three more products to the lineup.
With the hue bulbs being far from cheap, the new hue Lux line of bulbs is a welcome addition. essentially the exact same as existing hue bulbs, the Lux variety can only emit white light rather than the multi-colored offerings from existing hue products. The exact same remote manage as well as arranging aspect remains, meaning these are a fantastic entry-level addition to the hue lineup. Each bulb will retail for $40 with a starter pack containing two bulbs as well as the needed bridge offered for $100.
The second addition from Philips isn’t really a bulb at all, however rather a light switch. needing no outside power source thanks to its utilize of the kinetic energy from whoever is pressing it, the switch offers four different presets that can be assigned to ‘recipes,’ which are presets for those of us now already indoctrinated into the hue method of life.
The final new product to join the hue variety is not something we’ll be choosing up anytime soon. Dubbed the ‘Hue Luminaires’ the product is available in both tabletop as well as ceiling-mounted flavor for €2499 as well as €2999 respectively. Both are 3-D printed as well as work just like typical hue bulbs do. They’re definitely not inexpensive as well as we’re not truly persuaded they’re nice to look at either. We’ll let you make your own mind up on that one.
All three products will be offered over the coming months, with the hue tap light switch expected to be towards the end of 2014 for around $60.
