There is a new option if you want new switches. A redesigned Philips Hue dimmer switch (shown in the middle) gives you the familiar brightness and power features, but there is now a “Hue” button that lets you instantly turn on a favorite lighting scene or adjust the lights to the time of day. The wireless device can fit on a wall plate, but it will also sit on your refrigerator or on any other magnetic surface. The new dimmer will reach North America on February 23 for $ 25.
And yes, there are new Hue light bulbs this year. The Amarant is a mountable, sneaky outdoor spotlight designed to “wash” walls in light, while the Appear wall lamp now comes in a brushed steel finish with easy installation. The Amaranth can be found on March 2 for $ 170 in North America. For now, at least, the new Appear variant will only be available in Europe on 26 January for € 150.
Coming soon: the wall switch module! Make any light switch smart by installing this little thing behind the wall plate. Your smart lights stay accessible – and you can use the light switch to set your favorite light scenes.
