Philips Hue Moves Beyond Smart Bulbs Toward Built-In Lighting at IFA

Philips Hue's IFA lineup shifts from replaceable smart bulbs toward built-in light fixtures meant to stay in place. The Liane Rope Light ($399.99–$549.99) gives even glow for open installations. New Signe pendant and pole models ship from October at $319.99+. Festavia strings are now rated for year-round outdoor use. No changes to how the lights communicate were announced.
