Philps Hue smart lights are already pricey. They’re about to get pricier
If you’ve already fell to the high price of a Philips Hue smart bulb, wait for next month.
Significant, the parent company of Philips Hue, announced that it would increase prices in the United States from July – and yes, the prices are to be blamed.
“Speaking will increase the prices of our Philips Hue portfolio in the United States, as of July 1, 2025, following prices,” the company said in a statement in Hueblog.
It is not clear how the prices of the Philips shade will increase, which means indicating that it “reserves the right to modify prices based on new or additional prices which become effective in the future”.
We contacted Philips Hue to comment.
Philips Hue is only the last Smart Home brand to increase its prices in response to the prices imposed by the Trump administration. As the rod reports, Yale’s smart locking which has just published with material was affected by an increase in prices of $ 20 thanks to prices, while Wyze said that pricing prices after a recent projector shipping cost the company around $ 255,000 in prices.
The lights of the Philips shade are already expensive compared to its competitors, with a single white shade and a coloring bulb for $ 64.99, against $ 26.26 for a pack of 2 Wyze bulbs.
Of course, you can save by buying shades of shades in bundles or while waiting for a sale (the first order day is fast approaching). We have also maintained for a long time that if the shades lighting products are expensive, they are worth it, namely because they are so full of features, reliable and are part of a very large and sophisticated intelligent lighting ecosystem.
Although the Hue Price increases do not strike before July 1, we are already seeing evidence of the lighting products to become more expensive.
Take the Smart Hue button just announced, which has been reorganized with a larger design. The first Smart Hue button was at the origin of $ 20; The new version costs $ 32.99, an increase of 65%.
This does not mean that we expect price increases of 65% for all HUE products next month, and as it pointed out, the state of the various Trump prices is constantly evolving.
However, if you are looking to load shade lights, you may want to buy as soon as possible.
