Philips Hue, the renowned smart lighting brand under Signify, has unveiled a series of new products aimed at enhancing the home lighting and security experience. Among the latest releases are the new Philips Hue Dymera dual beam wall light and the Philips Hue Secure floodlight camera. These products are set to provide homeowners with fresh possibilities for personalized lighting and improved security.
Philips Hue Dymera Dual Beam Wall Light
The standout product in this release is the Philips Hue Dymera, an architectural wall light designed to redefine the way we illuminate our indoor and outdoor spaces. The Dymera wall light boasts a sleek and modern black design that blends seamlessly with various settings.
What sets the Dymera apart is its dual beam control, allowing users to independently adjust the upward and downward beams of light. Each beam can display different colors and brightness levels, offering a versatile and layered lighting effect. The built-in LEDs can reportedly produce millions of color shades, ranging from warm to cool white.
Using the intuitive Philips Hue app, homeowners can choose from preset scenes or customize the Dymera's settings to their liking. For instance, the upward beam could provide a soft ambient glow in one color, while the downward beam spotlights a feature wall in a different tone. This flexibility could open up a world of creative lighting possibilities for homeowners.
The Philips Hue Dymera wall light is available for pre-order as of January 23, 2024, and is officially set to launch on February 27, 2024, with a price tag of £199.99.
Philips Hue Secure Floodlight Camera
Philips Hue is also stepping into the realm of home security with the release of the Philips Hue Secure floodlight camera. Designed for outdoor use, this smart floodlight camera is tailored to enhance home security. It boasts a range of features that make it a valuable addition to any smart home setup.
The Secure floodlight camera provides 1080p high-definition video, motion-activated lighting, color alerts, two-way communication, and customizable activity zones. When motion is detected, the camera instantly illuminates the area with adjustable LED floodlights, giving homeowners the option to choose white or color light, such as red, for different scenarios.
Furthermore, the camera serves as a smart hub, allowing it to connect with other Philips Hue lights within the system. This integration enables lighting to respond to the camera's motion sensors, adding an extra layer of security.
The Philips Hue Secure floodlight camera is already available in the UK, priced at £299.99, and will be introduced to the United States on February 27, 2024, with a retail price of $349.99.
Upcoming Features and Integration
Signify has plans to roll out software updates for the Philips Hue Secure system in 2024, aiming to enhance the Security Center within the Philips Hue app. These updates will include improved push notifications and event timelines, further improving the user experience.
Moreover, Philips Hue is actively working on integrating the Secure system with popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Once implemented, users will have the convenience of accessing camera feeds and alerts via voice commands.
Additionally, Philips Hue is also exploring the possibility of automatic light and sound alarms triggered by motion detection, enabling Philips Hue bulbs and speakers to activate automatically when the camera's sensors are triggered.

Philips Hue products, including the Dymera wall light and the Secure floodlight camera, can be purchased through the official website and most major electronics retailers. Professional lighting and security installers may also have access to additional channel discounts.
With these new additions to the Philips Hue lineup, Signify continues to lead in the smart home lighting and security space, providing users with more choices and flexibility to design integrated, personalized lighting experiences while enhancing home security measures.
