Images show Philips Hue lamps with light output of up to 1600 lumens – Image and sound – News

Signify will announce several new Philips Hue lamps in August or September, according to Hueblog.com. The site shows images showing Hue lamps with a light output of 1100 and 1600 lumens. Most Hue lights now don’t go beyond 806 lumens.

The Philips Hue high brightness bulbs have a different shape than Signify’s current E27 bulbs. According to Hueblog.com they are larger because better passive cooling is required due to the higher heat generation. The images show variants with E26 fitting, which is the American equivalent of the European E27 fitting. Both lamps can display white light and color

The site also shows an image with three new Philips Hue variants in the Filament series, in which the LEDs are placed in a so-called ‘filament’. White Ambiance variants appear there, with light whose color temperature is adjustable. Finally, there will be a new small E14 bulb in the Filament series.

Signify is also said to be working on new lamps that can display multiple colors at once. The manufacturer has so far only applied this in its Gradient Lightstrip. More details about this are not yet known.
