Signify Introduces Philips Hue's PC Lightstrip Series For Gamers

On September 13, Philips Hue will begin selling its latest Gradient Lightstrips, designed specifically for computer monitors and can synchronize colors with the user's display.

Here's Why Gamers Should Check on Philips Hue's Newest Lightstrip Range

Signify is trying to make its entry into the gaming world as it unveiled a new product that would benefit the gaming community. In an article written by The Verge, Signify's Philips Hue is offering a series of light strips for personal computers.

As Tech Hive remarked, this new set of lighting products from Philips Hue follows the concept of Hue Play Gradient Lightstrips. However, the version for PCs is made explicitly for computer monitors, which has the capability to adapt colors that sync to the images on a user's screen. This feature can be enabled using the Hue Sync desktop app that is available for both Windows and Mac.

Lifx and Nanoleaf are two companies that have already combined smart lighting with game software. These companies have programs that work with Razer's Synapse software and offer similar features to Razer's. Corsair also sells lightstrips that can be attached to computer screens as extra lighting accessories.

In case your home is already stocked with lighting fixtures that are a part of the Philips Hue ecosystem, you may want to think about purchasing the Play light strips.

The Hue Play gradient light strip will go on sale on September 13. It will be sold in packages for screens between 24 and 27 inches and 32 to 34 inches for $169.99 and $189.99, respectively. For $279.99, you can also buy a package that works with three monitors between 24 and 27 inches.

Signify Has Released Several New Products, Including Colored Ambient Light Bulbs

Aside from the lightstrips that Signify recently introduced, the business unveiled new white and colored ambient light bulbs at the IFA tech expo in Berlin, according to The Verge.

Last week, the Philips Hue Lightguide bulbs were rumored initially but are now confirmed (via 9To5Mac). According to the company, Philips Hue Lightguide bulbs combine contemporary design with smart lighting technology. Triangle, ellipse, and large globe are the three available forms of Lightguide bulbs.

They are designed to complement contemporary home décor and Philips Hue light settings and have a slick, glossy surface that makes them sparkle brightly.

The Lightguide bulbs may be utilized with a specially designed pendant wire that is available in both white and black. They are the company's first and only statement lighting fixtures to date.

The light bulbs that can illuminate your house and put out up to 500 lumens each cost between $74.99 and $89.99, and the wires cost $49.99. Both are expected to arrive later on in this year.

One of the other new hardware items from the brand is a redesigned filament candle bulb that is now only dimmable. You currently have the ability to choose between warm and cold white light with the introduction of the Philips Hue White Ambiance Filament bulb.

On September 13, much like other products, it will be made available to customers. In Europe and North America, the price is now $44.99 per unit, with a 2-pack going for $64.99.

Furthermore, information on Signify's increasing collaboration with Samsung SmartThings that had leaked was confirmed. A new Philips Hue and SmartThings app music sync will make it possible for its smart lights to sync with music on Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets beginning on September 1.
