Philips Hue Pivots From Smart Bulbs to Built-In Fixtures at IFA

Philips Hue's IFA lineup shifts from replaceable smart bulbs toward integrated, architecturally permanent fixtures. The Liane 360-degree Rope Light ($399.99–$549.99) uses OmniGlow diffusion for exposed installations. New Signe pendant, pendulum, and pole models ship from October at $319.99+. Festavia strings are now rated for year-round exterior mounting. No protocol-level changes were announced.
