Total immersion with the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K
We start strong with the new star of the range: the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K. Ready to transform your living room into a real movie theater (or arcade if you're more into video games), this little box literally immerses you in the action by synchronizing your lighting with multimedia content. Movies, music, games… Everything becomes an immersive experience! Imagine: 8K resolution at 60 Hz for your videos and games in 4K at 120 Hz. Not bad, right?
And that's not all! Compatible with the latest game consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X, the Sync Box 8K lets you connect up to 10 Philips Hue lights. The result? A light ambiance that reacts to every explosion, every emotional moment in your favorite movies. It's hard to be more immersive! And for those who love Netflix & chill evenings, it's clearly a “must-have”.
The Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box 8K is available now at a price of €349.99.
Stylish ceiling lights for all tastes
Philips Hue doesn't stop there. The manufacturer has also thought of those who want to rethink their interior decor. This year, two new ceiling light models are making their debut: the Philips Hue Datura and the Philips Hue Tento.
The Datura is the perfect ally for large spaces. Its minimalist design (and frameless, please!) brings a feeling of openness and elegance to any room. Available in square or rectangular format, it combines two independently controllable light sources. So you can play with functional and decorative light as you wish. Perfect for creating the ideal atmosphere, whether for working or relaxing.
The Tento, for its part, was designed for small spaces. Square, compact (30 or 40 cm), it fits easily into any room. Its little extra? It is available in black or white and offers white or colored lighting options. Enough to modulate the atmosphere according to your desires. Rather a zen atmosphere or a colorful evening? The choice is yours!
The Philips Hue Datura will be available in the fall of 2024 at a price of €399.99. The
Philips Hue Tento will also be available in autumn 2024 in different versions: 30 x 30cm, White €69.99
- 30 x 30cm, White ambiance €89.99
- 30 x 30cm, White and color ambiance €109.99
- 40 x 40cm, White ambiance €119.99
- 40 x 40cm, White and color ambiance €149.99
- Ultimate customization with the Philips Hue app
What would Philips Hue be without its intuitive application? The Dutch giant continues to enrich its app, offering you even more possibilities to customize your lighting. For this fall, four new light modes are available: Cosmos, Underwater, Enchant and Sunbeam. Names that make you dream, right? Each of these modes allows you to play with brightness, speed and colors, for a truly unique atmosphere.
But that's not all. Philips Hue Secure is also making its debut, with reinforced security options. You can now control your lights and cameras from Alexa or Google Home (practical, right?). Want to monitor your home live from your Echo Show or Google Nest Hub? It's possible! And for fans of automated routines, you can arm or disarm your security system according to your schedule.
And for those looking to extend the battery life of their wireless cameras, a new energy-saving option has been added. This will give you a few extra hours of use, perfect for long days of monitoring.
Augmented reality is coming to the Hue app
A little cherry on the cake: you can now test your Philips Hue lights in augmented reality directly in the app. Curious to see what the new ceiling light looks like in your living room before buying it? No need to imagine, you can visualize it in the blink of an eye thanks to your iPhone Pro. Futuristic, right?
Multi-hub management: finally here!
And because we can't stop progress, Philips Hue finally announces the arrival of multi-hub management. For those with a large home or multiple hubs, this update will make your life significantly easier. You will be able to manage everything at a glance, without having to juggle from one bridge to another. A highly anticipated feature (and requested by the community!) which will arrive before the end of the year.
