Philips Hue: a farandole of more powerful and affordable connected lights

Philips Hue, a flagship brand of Signoy, unveils a farandole of new features on the occasion of the IFA 2025. On the program: a new “essential” range of connected lighting easier to install and more affordable, more powerful and versatile LED ribbons, as well as new Festavia light garlands.

1. The Philips Hue Essential range: simplified connected lighting

One of the big news this year is the introduction of the Philips Hue Essential range, a designed range to make lighting connected more accessible to new users. This range includes A19 bulbs, GU10 spots, start -up kits, as well as versatile LED ribbons, all at an affordable price.
For Philip Hue, this range is an opportunity to discover its lighting ecosystem connected at a lower cost, by offering an easy installation, plug-and-play.

Users can customize the lighting of their house in a few gestures: adjust the light intensity, go from white light to a colorful shade, and automate their lights to create the desired atmosphere. The good news is that this essential range is compatible with all Philips Hue products, which makes it possible to extend the installation to the whole house without difficulty and without breaking the bank.

The Philips Hue Essential range offers start -up kits, the prices of which start from € 79.99 for a kit of 2 E27 bulbs with the Hue Bridge V2, and can reach € 99.99 for a kit of 4 bulbs, also accompanied by the connection bridge. On the GU10 side, the start -up kits are offered from € 99.99 for configurations comprising 3 bulbs, a Smart button or a variator, as well as the Hue Bridge V2. This range will be available in September.

2. The Philips Hue A19 bulb: smarter and more efficient

The Philips Hue A19 bulb, an emblematic product of the brand, has a facelift. Not only would it now be able to reproduce the whole spectrum of daylight, but its effectiveness would also have been improved by 40% compared to the previous generation. Added to this is the possibility of adjusting the light intensity up to 0.2%, which may well seem subtle for some and essential for others.

In addition, these bulbs now support Matter technology via Thread, in addition to already existing zigbee and Bluetooth connectivity, which guarantees universal compatibility with many other home automation platforms.

The range of Philips Hue A19 bulbs will also be available in September. For White Ambiance E27 models, prices vary from € 34.99 for a 60 W bulb, € 54.99 for the 100 W model, while the 75 W bulb is offered at € 39.99. The White and Color Ambiance E27 bulbs are available from € 59.99 for a version of € 60 W, € 64.99 for the 75 W model, and € 79.99 for the 100 W bulb. Finally, for White E27 models, prices start at € 15.99 for a 60 W bulb, € 21.99 for a 75 W bulb, and € 27.99 of 100 W.

3. LED philips hue ribbons: always more flexible

Philips Hue completely reviews its range of LED ribbons to offer brighter products, more flexible and capable of illuminating larger areas. Indeed, some models of this new range are up to “twice brighter“Let their predecessors. The Omniglow model, for example, reaches a brightness of 4,500 lumens, which means that it can be both a room lighting only as a real lighting solution.

Whether to light up an entire room, decorate a wall, or even create dynamic atmospheres, the range now includes seven different models: led flow ribbon for a customizable atmosphere, with neon led ribbon for large exterior lighting. Thanks to accessories like extensions and connectors, these ribbons are also modular and allow a more flexible installation.
