About two weeks ago I already presented one of the four Centris models to you in a small video. Now I had the opportunity to assemble the smallest version myself. The ceiling light from the White and Color Ambiance series offers two GU10 spots with 350 lumens each and an additional LED module with 840 lumens and costs almost 280 Euros.
FabianLeave a Comment on Tint Flores: First impression of the new outdoor spots from Müller-Licht Direct comparison with the Innr Outdoor Spot Direct comparison with the Innr Outdoor Spot
You may have already bought the Tint Flores outdoor spots from Aldi at the beginning of the month, at least if you are living in Germany. In the meantime I have received my test sample from the manufacturer and I can also tell you that the online distribution is on its way.
At the end of April we informed you that the new light modules Nanoleaf Shapes Hexagon can be pre-ordered. And now there is good news for all pre-orderers: The Nanoleaf Shapes Hexagon have been shipped and should arrive in the next few days. While the first shipment is out of stock and was a bit cheaper at 179,99 Euro, you can now order the Starter Set for 199,99 Euro.
Earlier this year, we asked you if you had problems with condensation on the Hue Calla outdoor pedestal lamp. And some users have contacted us complaining about exactly the same thing. Some lamps even failed completely. And the Hue Lily seems to have the same problem. Hueblog reader Klaus writes to us: One of my 2 Hue Lily Garden-Spots fell out yesterday.
You should find many exciting offers and bargains around Philips Hue in our deals section. But unfortunately the story is not that simple. As you might have read elsewhere, the team of Hueblog.com is from Germany. For more than two years we have been running our German site Hueblog.de and share exciting deals with our readers there several times a week.
The Dutch manufacturer Innr, which we now know very well, today presented three new versions of its LightStrip. The new LightStrip is available in two different lengths and can of course still be coupled and controlled via ZigBee with the Philips Hue Bridge. As usual with third-party products, we only have to do without Apple HomeKit and Hue Entertainment.
For more than two years now, Philips Hue has been offering its low voltage system for outdoor use. Starting with Lily and Calla, there is now a whole range of products that can be connected together. The Philips Hue Outdoor LightStrip or the brighter Lily XL are very popular, too. Up to now there was only one outdoor power supply with a maximum output of 40 watts, at least that is what Philips Hue says.
The new Philips Hue Centris, which is available in a total of four different configurations from €279.99 to €449.99, has already been properly discussed. One thing is clear: Optically, the mixture of spots and fixed LED module is certainly not everyone’s cup of tea. Whether you like one of the four models or not, I can’t judge at this point.
I already shared the first interesting detail about the new fourth generation Philips Hue LightStrip Plus with you yesterday: Due to much more compact connection pins the new LightStrip cannot be extended with old extensions – and vice versa. Today I would like to take a look at a new feature of the LightStrip together with you: The included connector.
One question has reached me several times in the past two weeks and today I finally have the chance to go into the details: Is the new LightStrip Plus compatible with the old model? I can make it short and sweet at this point: Unfortunately not. This fact is interesting in some situations, for example if you want to extend a LightStrip with an extension.
