Philips’ Smart Lighting Series Hue is updated with more refined solutions every year. The new model Philips Hue Play Washer, introduced this time, is targeting users who want to spread the domestic light experience to a wider area. Developed by Signify, this model attracts attention with its technical power and design language. It is particularly separated from its similar with its wide distribution of light and high brightness level.
The product, which is sold in Europe, the United States and Canada, comes with both black and white color options. Wall Washer, which has a single package $ 219.99, is available in a double package for $ 384,99. Previously, the leak in Amazon was expected to be higher priced. In this respect, the fact that pricing is at a more accessible level is a remarkable detail.
Philips Hue Wall Washer both aesthetics and functional
With the light power reaching 1035 lumens, Hue Wall Washer works twice as bright than most products. This allows the Hue Light Bar, which is seen directly as its rival, to a significant separation. Although the Light Bar only has a price tag of $ 89.99, it lags behind Wall Washer in light power and spread. In addition, Wall Washer adds a wider volume to the space thanks to the LED settlement that reflects the light upwards.
The surface of the product is designed with matte aluminum coating, which both reduces heating and maintains aesthetic integrity. Thanks to the three-dimensional drag-drop interface within the Hue Mobile application, the light direction can be adjusted in detail by the user. With this feature, the distribution of light can be condensed to a particular object or area. On the other hand, the intensity and intonation of light can be replaced with intuitively through the application.
Wall Washer is not just a device that works alone; Hue HDMI is able to work simultaneously with Sync box and mobile applications. This integration allows light to act in harmony with content, especially when watching movies or listening to music. In addition to all these, the fact that Siri, Alexa and Google assistant also provide full harmony with voice assistants, makes it easier to integrate the device into home automation. Users can only change the light tone or scene with voice commands.
The new Philips Hue AI assistant was another remarkable innovation integrated into the Hue ecosystem. This digital auxiliary was available in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg in the first place. Users can create automatic light scenes by instructing the HUE application written or orally. For example, when you tell me a romantic dinner light ”, a scene is created with appropriate brightness and color settings.
The assistant not only creates a stage, but also performs functions such as proposing existing scenes or optimizing existing lighting. Transactions such as changing the color of the light, shine adjustment can also be done with natural commands. In addition, additional features such as timing, automation and chat boat support by the end of the year are expected to be integrated. This brings the Hue system closer to the personal assistant structure.
All these innovations show that Philips’ approach to lighting is not only supported by hardware, but also with software development. Wall Washer’s powerful light performance is becoming an ideal solution, especially for large areas or architectural lighting needs. However, the fact that the price is higher than more suitable models makes the product more attractive for advanced users. Nevertheless, it is clear that it is a remarkable alternative for users looking for such an experience with a structure integrated into the Hue system.
The personalization potential of Philips Hue AI Assistant is an indication that the HUE system evolves according to user habits. In this period when lighting is not only a light source and becoming part of the atmosphere, the importance of such innovations increases. Although this system, which is supported by artificial intelligence, is currently used in limited countries, it is expected that the user experience is further further when global access is completed. For users who have adopted the HUE ecosystem, much more comprehensive solutions may be raised in the coming period.
