Philips has today unveiled new accessories for its Hue Lighting range of products with the introduction of a new Tap Switch, Lux Bulb kit, and 3D-printed luminaries.
The Phillips Hue Tap Switch has been designed specifically to be used with the Hue lighting range of bulbs and allows you to control the Hue lighting system without the need to power up your smartphone or tablet device to access the Hue companion application.
Innovative Kinetic Energy Technology
One of the great features about the Phillips Hue Tap Switch is that it is powered from your taps using kinetic energy, so no batteries or wires are required for installation, allowing you to position it almost anywhere. This innovative use of kinetic energy means that every time you press the switch, it generates enough power to send a signal to the Hue Bridge, which then controls your lights. This not only makes the Tap Switch environmentally friendly but also highly convenient, as you never have to worry about changing batteries or finding a power source.
Philips Lux Bulb Kit: Simplicity and Elegance
The new Philips Lux Bulb kit, priced at $100, includes 2 bulbs and a bridge, or it can be purchased as a single bulb for just $40. This kit provides users with a more traditional light source rather than a huge variety of colors to choose from. Offering a simple dimmable white light, the Lux Bulb is perfect for those occasions when a selection of rainbow colors isn’t particularly needed. The Lux Bulb is ideal for creating a cozy and warm atmosphere in your home, making it perfect for reading, relaxing, or any activity that requires a softer light.
The Lux Bulb kit is also compatible with the existing Hue ecosystem, meaning you can easily integrate it with other Hue products and control it using the same Hue app. This makes it a versatile addition to any smart home setup, allowing you to customize your lighting to suit your needs and preferences.
3D-Printed Luminaries: A Fusion of Art and Technology
In addition to the Tap Switch and Lux Bulb kit, Philips has also introduced 3D-printed luminaries. These luminaries are not just functional lighting solutions but also pieces of art that can enhance the aesthetic appeal of any room. The use of 3D printing technology allows for intricate and unique designs that would be difficult to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. This means that each luminary can be customized to fit your personal style and the decor of your home.
The 3D-printed luminaries are compatible with the Hue system, allowing you to control them using the same app and integrate them seamlessly with your other Hue products. This makes it easy to create a cohesive and stylish lighting setup in your home.
