Philips Hue takes the plunge into the bathroom with the Adore line

Besides making lights for your yard, Philips Hue is also moving into another room — the bathroom. Its new Adore collection is launching with two products: a mirror or a ceiling fixture. 

Before you get hopes up, these are white ambient lights only, and the bulbs (or rather LEDs) in these can't be changed by the user. Philips Hue rates them each at 2,400 lumens and with an estimated lifetime of 30,000 hours. 

Both models can help to solve a pain point for those who like to check themselves out before leaving for the office. Only in the Hues' case, the lights can mimic natural outdoor light fluorescent tube ones in your dank, depressing office. The mirror and ceiling fixture have settings for bright light, relaxed light, and many others. In fact, there are over 50,000 shades of white that each of these can produce. Read more...
