Philips Hue unveils new outdoor lights, security cam bundle

There’s a new Philips Hue outdoor light on the scene, with the Signify-owned smart light brand unveiling another entry in its lineup of decorative outdoor light fixtures.  

Besides its new Dymera outdoor light, Philips Hue is also unveiling a starter bundle for its recently announced security camera, along with Perifo track lighting accessories and new color choices for its Being ceiling light and portable Go table lamp. 

Philips Hue Dymera outdoor wall light 

The latest addition to Philips Hue’s portfolio of outdoor lights, the Hue Dymera is another Hue outdoor wall fixture that shines light both up and down.

But while other Hue wall fixtures have square- or cylindrical-shaped housings (we’re thinking of the Hue Resonate and Appear outdoor lights, respectively), the Dymera has a wide, oval-shaped look.

Measuring 3.7 x 9 x 6.3 inches (HxLxD), the Dymera’s two lights have a combined brightness of 1020 lumens, and the lights can be controlled individually.  

The Dymera has an IP44 rating, meaning it’s resistant to water splashes. 

This news story is part of TechHive’s in-depth coverage of the best smart bulbs.

Look for the Dymera to go on sale February 27 for $219.99. 

Philips Hue Perifo flexible and T connector 

Next up, Philips Hue has unveiled a new flexible connector for its Perifo track lighting system. 

The connector consists of two components joined by a short flexible cord, and it allows users to connect Perifo rails at a variety of different angles—for example, you could use the flexible connector to run a pair of Perifo tracks across a vaulted ceiling.

Meanwhile, the Perifo T connector lets you lay Perifo tracks in three different directions. 

Available in black and white, the Philips Hue Perifo flexible and T connectors go on sale in April for $34.99 each. 

Philips Hue Secure starter kit and floodlight

Roughly five months after unveiling its first security products, including a security camera and a contact sensor, Philips Hus is teeing up a home security starter kit. 

The aptly named Philips Hue Secure starter kit includes a wired Hue Secure security camera, two contact sensors (which can monitor whether doors or windows are open or closed), a pair of Hue A19 color bulbs, and a Hue Bridge—everything you’ll need to start a Hue-based security system from scratch.

The Philips Hue Secure starter kit is available now for $399.99. 

Philips Hue Secure floodlight availability

Meanwhile, the previously announced Philips Hue Secure floodlight is now slated to land on February 27 for a (somewhat hefty) $349.99. 

Unveiled last August, the Hue Secure floodlight camera boasts 1080p video quality, night vision, two-way audio chat, and a weatherized design. 

New Secure features for Hue app

Aside from its new Secure hardware, Philips Hue announced new features coming to the Security Center of the Hue app, including “improvements” to security push notifications and the video event timeline, as well as motion-triggered light and sound alarms. 

Philips Hue also said it is still “working” to add Alexa and Google Home support to its Secure line. 

New Philips Hue Being and Go colors 

Finally, Philips Hue announced new black and white versions of its flush-mounted Being ceiling light, slated for March 26 at $219.99. 

Also getting shout-outs are two new flavors of the Philips Hue Go portable lamp.

Now available with either teal or orange grips, the Go lamp sells for $159.99.
