Philips has been using its Hue-branded smart-connected lights to bring some color into homes (or out of them) for quite some time now, and even announced support for Apple’s HomeKit not too long ago, too.
But, the company has yet another product to showcase, adding to the still-growing features list for the light setup. The company has just announced what it calls the Hue wireless dimming kit, along with a new White bulb. The wireless dimming kit will come with one of the White bulbs in the box, and the white bulbs can be purchased separately, too. The kit can be installed on a wall without any effort, and Philips says it will integrate seamlessly with current Hue products.
The kit works just by plugging in one of the aforementioned White bulbs, and the dimming switch can be attached to a wall, or even used as a remote if that’s how you prefer to dim the lights. Up to 10 lights can be connected to each wireless dimming kit, according to Philips:
“Instantly modernize your home lighting. Once you are set up with your Philips Hue wireless dimming kit, you can connect up to 10 Hue lights to the dimmer switch. You can also add a Hue dimmer switch to control the same Hue lights. “
One other important detail: Philips says that the dimmer won’t buzz, and that the lights won’t flicker while being dimmed.
The wireless dimming kit will be available in stores beginning sometime in September of this year. The kit is priced at $39.95, and the individual White bulbs are marked at $19.95.
