Philips is preparing an improved Hue light bulb, but there is a catch
Today's age undoubtedly belongs to modern technologies. This is also directly related to the smart home concept, which is experiencing its best times and many people are gradually implementing it. In the smart home, the spotlight falls primarily on smart lighting. The Hue system from Philips, for example, is very popular, which combines a number of advantages and offers perfect comfort for the users themselves. If you own bulbs from this series and are not satisfied with their brightness, get smarter. According to the latest reports, even Philips itself should be aware of this fact, which is why it is working on a new version of the bulb with an E27 socket, which will offer a luminosity of up to 1600 lumens. Although this new product looks great at first glance and could potentially solve the mentioned problem, it brings a number of questions into the discussion.

The German portal SmartLights reacted to the upcoming news, according to which a more powerful light bulb will undoubtedly bring with it greater consumption and will be significantly limited in terms of color temperature. If we look at it a little closer, the consumption should increase by a full 50 percent to 15,5 Watts and the color temperature will be permanently set to 2700 Kelvin, while the user will not be able to change it classically.
