A versatile light bar to transform your sitting room
Philips Hue Play is a compact, highly versatile light bar that you can position in a variety of ways to create a truly immersive lighting experience. It provides an indirect light effect and can sit horizontally or vertically next to your TV or be mounted behind as a backlight. When on the floor or positioned on a bookcase or sideboard, its perfect accent lighting effect and sleek design allows it to blend into any entertainment area.
Philips Hue Play is ready to use by simply plugging it in. Connecting to the Philips Hue bridge and Philips Hue app, it can be personalized, allowing you to choose from 16 million different colors to create the perfect ambiance to suit every mood. Synchronize it to your overall lighting system to enhance your entertainment experience. Feel like you’re at the cinema when snuggled up on your sofa, or bring a whole new level of excitement and immersion to your gaming experience. Or perhaps you want to recreate the colors of your last tropical getaway at home; it’s all possible with Philips Hue Play.
The smart plug management system also allows you to extend Philips Hue Play to up to three pieces using only one power socket.
Philips Hue Play will debut at the gaming event Gamescom in Germany, at the Razer booth, on 21st August, 2018 before it’s officially launched at IFA 2018.
New luminaires for delightful dining
Signify has added two new Philips Hue white and color ambiance pendants to light up your dining table for the perfect setting; whether it’s a hectic, family weekday meal or a fun Saturday dinner party with friends.

Our living spaces are used for multiple functions but need to look good at the same time. The new Philips Hue Signe, Philips Hue Liane and Philips Hue Sana lamps have been designed to provide a beautiful lighting effect in both white and color ambiance to create the perfect ambiance in your home. Philips Hue Liane wall light features a minimalistic, linear design, which you can position to brighten up a dark corner of your room or highlight an item of feature furniture. The Philips Hue Sana wall light features a unique circular design and the Philips Hue Signe lamp is available as a floor or table lamp and has an elegant slim design, perfect for positioning next to your TV.
Philips Hue Sana and Signe can be used by simply plugging it in and connecting to the Philips Hue bridge to unlock all the benefits of the ecosystem. Like the Philips Hue Play, Philips Hue Signe can also synchronize with your entertainment system.
Make the most of your space
Signify has also introduced the new Philips Hue Aurelle panel lights in Europe, earlier in August.
