Philips Hue Festavia String Lights

Today, Philips announced its new Hue Festavia string lights. Just in time for the holiday season, the company is making users’ lighting experiences more personalized, colorful, and intelligent. Here’s what you need to know.

Philips promises “a cozy ambiance inside for the holidays and special occasions” with the new Hue Festavia string lights. It features 250 mini smart LEDs along a 20-meter cord. The company says customers can decore their Christmas tree, staircase, or any area in their home.

With the Festavia string lights, users can dim and brighten the lights, change the color, turn lights on and off, set timers and schedules, and more. Like other Philips Hue products, this one also works in harmony with other company lights in the space and can be synced with music using Spotify and Samsung SmartThings integration, allowing the lights to flash, dim, and brighten along people’s favorite songs or playlists.

Alongside the Philips Hue Festavia string lights, the Hue app has been updated with more features. With a new Sparkle effect, users can twinkle lights on the string. With a new Scattered style, it spreads up to five colors randomly along the string for a colorful experience.

“As the world leader in smart lighting, we are constantly innovating to expand the ways users can experience lighting in their homes. We are very proud to present our new smart string lights, an innovation that a lot of users from all over the world have been waiting for. With Philips Hue Festavia string lights, anyone can create a personal lighting experience during the festive season. Homes will light up like never before,” said Jasper Vervoort, Business Leader Philips Hue at Signify.

Philips Hue users can still choose the existing Candle or Fireplace effect for a cozier setting. The new Philips Hue Festavia string lights are available starting next week, on November 15, for $159.99, exclusively via the Hue website.

      Philips Hue is launching a TV app for $130
      By BGR
      Philips Hue, one of the most popular smart lighting platforms in the world, is launching a new app for the television that will allow you to adapt your lights to the content playing on your TV…for $130.
      As reported by Gizmodo, Signify, the parent company of Philips, has announced the Philips Hue Sync TV app, a new app that allows you to control your lights based on what is playing on your TV — with no TV hardware required.
      It’s a pretty cool prospect, as other TV lighting products require additional hardware that is hooked up directly to or needs to be around your television to achieve a sync between what’s playing on your television and the reaction of your smart lights.
      Philips Hue is attempting to remove the need for this additional hardware with its new app…which costs $130. That’s a high price to pay for a piece of software but, for those who want to invest in a minimalist home theater setup, it could be worth it.
      The company also notes that the app will only be available for select 2022 Samsung QLED televisions at launch. It will also only work with lights connected through the Philips Hue bridge.
      Signify has not said if or when the app will be coming to other televisions, but it makes sense that it will as long as the televisions have the necessary hardware to support it.
      The Philips Hue Sync TV app will be available to download on compatible Samsung televisions beginning on Wednesday, January 5. The app will cost, remember this, a whopping $130. Still, for those who paid $250 for the company’s previous hardware box to accomplish this experience, it technically is almost half off for the same feature.
