Philips Hue’s new Wall Washer good has me severely reconsidering each boring white wall at dwelling. This isn’t simply one other good mild you chuck behind the telly and neglect about – it’s aiming to be the centrepiece.
Hue’s calling it “immersive leisure lighting,” which could truly take a look at. The Wall Washer throws out wealthy color gradients utilizing one thing Philips dubbed ColorCast projection. This shines beams of sunshine up on to your wall to completely coat it nonetheless you’d like. It performs good with the Hue Sync field, the app, your pc, even Alexa, however you may also simply swap it on.
Design-wise, it’s comprised of aluminium with a matte end that even appears to be like good even when it’s turned off. That’s a win, as a result of I’ve received greater than sufficient plastic glowing tubes already. You get correct management right here: drag-and-drop mild positioning, customisable depth, and even the flexibility to angle the factor nonetheless you’d like.
Since we’re dwelling in 2025, Philips is about to launch an AI assistant for Hue Lights. This could supposedly take your obscure description ( assume “cosy Sunday”, “disco kitchen”, and so forth) and switch it right into a customized lighting scene. If nothing within the app matches the invoice, it’ll simply make one thing up on the fly. I’m undecided how helpful it’ll be, but when that’s your factor, it could actually now take over your partitions completely.
The Philips Hue Play Wall Washer is on the market now within the UK, US, Canada, and EU in black or white. A single unit will value you $220/£170/€200, whereas a 2-pack goes for $385/£300/€350.
