New Philips Hue Devote arrives as cheaper slim ceiling light – NotebookCheck.net News
The Philips Hue Devote Slim ceiling light has arrived in European countries, including the UK and France. This new smart light is available in two sizes and is a cheaper alternative to an older model. Features include white and colored lighting effects, app-based controls and support for voice commands.
A new Philips Hue smart home product has appeared: the Devote Slim ceiling light. Available in two sizes, S and M, this round product has been spotted at Amazon in various European countries. Not to be confused with the earlier Devote Pendant light, this new model is designed for a living room, bedroom or kitchen.
The Devote ceiling light shares many similarities with the Tento, which was released in 2024. It is a dimmable White and Color Ambiance light, with users able to choose from a wide range of colors and color temperature. Users can choose from preset scenes or create their own; the new Philips Hue AI Assistant can also be used to generate scenes for your mood or activity.
The smaller S size is a 16W light delivering up to 2,000 lumens of brightness. The larger size M is a 23W light, with a higher brightness level of 2,900 lumens. Each has a white frame, with the S measuring 300 x 31 mm (~11.8 x 1.2 inches) and the 430 x 30 mm measuring (~16.9 x 1.2 inches). For comparison, the smaller Tento round light measures 291 mm (~11.5 inches across) and delivers up to 2,250 lumens of brightness. This older model also has a second light source at the rear for softer diffused lighting cast onto the ceiling. You can remotely control the smart light through the Philips Hue smartphone app. When connected to a Hue Bridge (curr. $52.99 at Amazon), users can also control the ceiling light with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant voice commands.
The Philips Hue Devote Slim ceiling light is now available at Amazon in countries like the UK and France. Users can purchase a 1-pack or a 2-pack of the smaller size, with prices starting from £71.20/€79.99. This makes the lights cheaper than their Tento counterparts, which start from £94.99/€109.99. It is unclear whether these smart lights are exclusive to Amazon. Whether or when these lights could be released in the US remains to be seen.
