To mean
There is a new option if you want new switches. A redesigned Philips Hue dimmer switch (shown in the middle) offers the familiar brightness and energy functions, but now there is a “Hue” button that allows you to instantly activate a favorite lighting scene or adapt the lights to the time of day. The wireless device can fit on a wall plate, but it will also be on the refrigerator or any other magnetic surface. The new dimmer will arrive in North America on February 23 for $ 25.
And yes, there are new Hue lamps this year. Amarant is a mountable and stealthy outdoor spotlight, designed to “wash” the walls with light, while the Appear lamp now comes with a brushed steel finish with easy installation. You’ll find Amarant in North America on March 2 for $ 170. For now, at least, the new Appear variant will only be available in Europe on January 26 for € 150.
Coming soon: the wall switch module! Make any smart light switch by installing this small device behind the wall plate. Your smart lights remain accessible – and you can use the light switch to set your favorite light scenes.
