Overview
- Signify has released two Philips Hue Play lamps—a 23.6‑inch table lamp and a 53‑inch floor lamp—and refreshed E12 Hue Candle bulbs, all available now from the Philips Hue store and retailers.
- The Play lamps use a tall, single‑side LED pole that bounces color off walls to produce ambient gradients and they sync to games, movies, and music using the Hue Play HDMI Sync Box and Hue Sync apps with Chromasync for tighter color matching.
- Philips Hue lists the Play Table Lamp at about $80 and the Play Floor Lamp at about $150, and the new candle bulbs are offered around $110 for a two‑pack with single‑unit pricing at about $60.
- The updated E12 Candle bulbs deliver roughly 470 lumens, full‑spectrum daylight color up to 20,000K, dim to 0.2 percent, and add Matter over Thread for cross‑platform smart‑home compatibility while being about 40 percent more energy efficient than the prior model.
- By lowering price points and adding Matter support, the release aims to make Hue Entertainment effects more accessible across living rooms and smart‑home setups and could widen the range of devices that can sync room lighting to on‑screen and audio content.
