Philips is expanding their smart hue line, where they meld light, art, and intuitive technology. hue LED bulbs work with your smart device to make lighting more personal in your home. Use the app to get the perfect color of light you desire, help you wake up in the morning with a soft glow, or even throw a dance party – so many options. To go along with the hue line, they’ve added 3D-printed luminaires that allow limitless light effects from over 16 million colors, all controlled by your smartphone or tablet.
