There’s no longer any valid reason to have boring incandescent light bulbs installed in your home. It’s not just that they’re wildly inefficient, but they always stay at the same bland color. You need to do both yourself and your living room a favor …

Philips Hue has been having a holiday outage, too
Alexa wasn’t the only thing that crashed over Christmas due to an influx of new users. Apparently, Philips Hue has been having an outage, as well. A multi-day outage, in fact. The company confirmed on Wednesday that customers were experiencing issues creating new accounts, logging in and linking their account to third parties. It blamed […]

Besides making lights for your yard, Philips Hue is also moving into another room — the bathroom. Its new Adore collection is launching with two products: a mirror or a ceiling fixture.
Before you get hopes up, these are white ambient lights only, and the bulbs (or rather LEDs) in these can’t be changed by the user. Philips Hue rates them each at 2,400 lumens and with an estimated lifetime of 30,000 hours.
Both models can help to solve a pain point for those who like to check themselves out before leaving for the office. Only in the Hues’ case, the lights can mimic natural outdoor light fluorescent tube ones in your dank, depressing office. The mirror and ceiling fixture have settings for bright light, relaxed light, and many others. In fact, there are over 50,000 shades of white that each of these can produce. Read more…

Philips Hue brings the party outside with the Outdoor Lightstrip
/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F825665%2Ff90b66a7-111e-414d-b494-82ccab212714.jpg)
Philips Hue‘s Outdoor Lightstrip is now officially official (it leaked last month), but unfortunately, it won’t be landing in time for summer BBQs and backyard parties.
The Outdoor Lightstrip will land in October, but pre-orders start on Aug. 20. The smaller 7-foot strip costs $89.99, and the larger 16-foot strip is $159.99. With an October launch, you’ll likely be able to light your pathways in time for Halloween. The new lightstrip will be available direct from Philips Hue, as well as other retailers.
Like the rest of the outside line by Philips Hue, weatherproofing is critical. The Outdoor Lightstrip is fully waterproof — from the product itself to its AC adapter. You can even bury the power adapter and cable underground for a sleek look. Read more…

Philips accidentally leaks details on Hue Outdoor LightStrips
When Philips Hue launched its array of outdoor smart lighting products in July, it conspicuously lacked an outdoor counterpart to the company’s popular indoor LightStrip.
A product leak shows that Philips will soon fill that gap.
