Guildford, United Kingdom – Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, announces the launch of brand-new Philips Hue lights and app features that provide additional ways to expand and personalise the lighting in your home. Philips Hue Twilight, the brand’s newest innovation, was designed to support your circadian rhythm. After the launch of the Lightguide Ellipse bulb, the Philips Hue Lightguide selection is completed with four more shapes — small globe, large globe, Edison, and triangle. Also launching is the Philips Hue Solo lightstrip, which enables you to add light anywhere in your home, and Philips Hue Datura, a dual light source ceiling panel.
Wake up feeling more recharged
Philips Hue Twilight sleep and wake up light, available in both white and black, was designed to support your circadian rhythm: it helps you maintain a regular sleep routine, fall asleep peacefully, and wake up feeling more recharged. With two individually controllable light sources — an illumination head and a back light featuring one-of-a-kind ColourCast technology — Philips Hue Twilight mimics the wide palette of colours in both morning and evening sky light.
The compact design fits easily onto a bedside table and features two customisable buttons to control the light, in addition to the Philips Hue app. By default, one button cycles through six new light scenes, like ‘Arise’ or ‘Sleepy’. The other triggers the new Sunset Go to sleep automation, simulating a sunset with a rich blend of red tones.
Additionally, set a wake-up automation, which gradually brightens so you gently awaken to the colours of the morning sun. Ultra-low dimming enables smooth transitions for an effective wake-up and the perfect nightlight. Philips Hue Twilight dims to an industry leading 0.5% brightness1.
An eye-catcher that complements your modern home decor
Following the launch of the popular Ellipse shape, the four new Philips Hue Lightguide bulbs allow you to create a unique lighting experience. Users can now choose from five premium shapes of handblown glass bulbs: small globe, large globe, triangle, Edison, and Ellipse. Their striking and contemporary design offers eye-catching modern style along with all the smart functionalities of Philips Hue. These bulbs offer millions of shades of white and colour light, so that you can personalise and design colourful light scenes, and are controllable with the Philips Hue app.
Flexibly add light in hard-to-reach spaces
Shape and bend lighting to your needs with the Philips Hue Solo lightstrip. Easy to use and accessible for any user, it offers the flexibility to add light in even hard-to-reach places. With cuttable 3m, 5m and 10m versions, it subtly fits into any area, such as in closets, on ceilings or walls, and along stairs and floors, to upgrade any space. Illuminated by 1700 lumens of stunning light output, the lightstrip brightens your home with pure colour and pure white light (thanks to RGBWWW LEDs). Philips Hue users can conveniently expand their smart lighting range by integrating the lightstrip with the full Philips Hue system — enabling different light experiences to fit any mood.
Ceiling lights to illuminate any space
Philips Hue Datura ceiling light with a round shape and slim frameless profile enhances the sense of space anywhere around your home, especially in rooms with low ceiling height. The ceiling panel comes with two individually controllable light sources in white and colour light that create both room illumination, with a powerful functional light, and a soft ceiling glow with a single touch and customisable colour effects.
