The Philips Hue line of smart bulbs is growing today with the addition of a bunch of new lights, strips, and lamps. There’s a bunch of stuff, so here’s a quick rundown:
- New filament bulbs that can change color temperature (plus a new candle shape for filament bulbs)
- Brighter options (75 watt and 100 watt equivalent) for color-temperature changing and full color versions of the standard Hue bulbs
- A “light tube” for illuminating around your TV (it’s meant to sync the colors to what’s on screen)
- Enhanced versions of the Signe floor and table lamps that can display multiple colors at once
- An upgraded TV-focused lightstrip, the “Hue ambiance gradient lightstrip,” which can likewise display multiple colors at the same time
- A new ceiling light...
