Signify has announced a slew of new lights for their Philips Hue brand including the new Hue Play gradient lightstrip, updated Hue Iris table lamp and more.
“We are constantly looking for new ways to take smart lighting entertainment to the next level with Philips Hue. Our new Philips Hue Play gradient lightstrip generates multiple colours at once and blends them together seamlessly, creating a magical viewing effect around your TV. We’re proud to offer our consumers such a truly immersive experience in their own home,” said Jasper Vervoort, Business Leader Philips Hue at Signify.
Hue Play gradient lightstrip
The new Hue Play gradient lightstrip is designed to complement your TV. It attaches to the backside of your TV (that is 55-inches or larger) and will help mimic the content on the screen for a more immersive experience.
The lightstrip generates multiple colours at once and blends them together seamlessly.
In order to use the Hue Play gradient lightstrip, you’ll need the Hue Sync Desktop app on your computer. If you’re planning on using the lightstrip with your TV, you’ll need the Hue Play HDMI Sync Box, Hue Sync mobile app and a Hue Bridge.
In the box, you’ll get the lightstrip, power supply and TV-mounting accessories.
The Hue Play gradient lightstrip comes in three different sizes:
- 55-inch (fits TV sizes 55 to 60 inches) – $259 CAD / 179.99 EUR / $199.99 USD
- 65-inch (fits TV sizes 65 to 70 inches) – $299 CAD / 199.99 EUR / $219.99 USD
- 75-inch (fits TV sizes 75 to 85 inches) – $329 CAD / 229.99 EUR / $239.99 USD

The Hue Play gradient lightstrip will be available starting October 6th in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
