Philips Hue could be launching three new smart lights – here's all you need to know

After a quiet spell on the smart lighting front, Philips Hue may end its dry spell with the launch of three new smart lights. Judging by early indications, the new products appear to be updated versions of the brand’s popular Aurelle Panel ceiling lights.

This development comes shortly after Philips Hue’s sister company, WiZ, released three new smart lighting products of its own in recent weeks. Aside from persistent rumours about a new Hue video doorbell, there’s been little official news since the launch of the Hue Twilight.

These upcoming Aurelle products are currently listed as out of stock on the Philips Hue website, with no clear release date. However, product details suggest their launch could be imminent, and we'll update you as soon as we know more.

The Aurelle Hue Round Panel Light will be available with a white aluminium frame, offering 2,450 lumens at 4,000K. The updated design is slightly thicker, now measuring 39.5 x 4.8 cm compared to the previous 4.7 cm depth. It also has a much more affordable price tag, coming in at £129.99/€149.99 instead of £159.99/€179.99.

Philips Hue is also set to release new Aurelle Rectangle Panel Lights in both black and white. These lights deliver 3,570 lumens at 4,000K, and the updated model measures 2mm thicker than the previous version. Like the round panel, the rectangular variant is also more affordable – priced at £169.99/€199.99 compared to the original's £219.99/€239.99.
