#Buy philips hue go full
A full charge tended to take me four hours, though there’s no way to obviously tell it’s at 100%.View Deal Why I'm buying the Philips Hue Go 2.0 That’s hardly an issue, as it’s so easy to charge. The product spec does list a battery life of up to 48 hours, but I couldn’t get anywhere near that figure in my tests. Full brightness with a bright colour tended to leave the lamp needing a charge after six hours – which is pretty good going – while using the much dimmer candle effect got me closer to 24 hours. All the light comes out of the bottom of the shade, shining down.īattery life really depended on how I used the light. It’s bright, yet it’s much better as an accent light – adding some colour to a corner for reading or for use on a desk. Unlike something like the Hue Gradient Floor Lamp, this Table Lamp isn’t great at adding light to a whole room. The range of colours Hue products like this can display is fantastic, and it makes this a very versatile lamp. Everything packed a punch, from purples to reds and this is something often lacking in cheaper options. The first thing I noticed was how sharp and strong the colours were as I skipped through various options and scenes.
#Buy philips hue go portable
Gets bright, but best for a room accent lightĪt £139.99/$159.99, the Hue Table Lamp is one the more expensive portable lights, but it does a good job of making itself worth the outlay.Battery life is heavily dependent on brightness levels.I particularly like the candle effect, which creates a flickering effect from the lamp. You can, of course, add it existing rooms and the app is where you can tweak the colours and scenes. I decided against adding the Table Lamp to a specific room, as I planned to move it around, and set it as a Zone instead. I found the setup to be very quick and painless, with the Hue app noticing a new light was available and adding it to my existing collection of products.
#Buy philips hue go Bluetooth
The lamp can be setup with either an existing Hue hub or Bluetooth through the Hue app. You can’t, for instance, alter the light’s brightness without delving into the app and this is a bit of a pain, especially when not everyone in the house might have a phone or the app handy. It’s a simple system that’s easy to learn, yet it lacks much customisability and I’d assume most will do a lot of control through the Hue smartphone app. A press turns the light on, with further presses cycling through preset colours and scenes. There’s a single button on the Hue Go Table Lamp and it’s placed right on the top. If your bathroom lacks a dimmable light this a great way of adding some customisable light to the room, without the need for a plug close by.
That’s enough to protect from the moisture given off from a shower or bath, although it’s not recommended to be used outside. It’s got some level of protection from water too, with an IP54 rating for the lamp itself (though not the charging base). Having an included charging base means you can keep the lamp charging in one place and then move it around when you need some extra light, For instance, while I set it up in the corner of my lounge, I have found myself moving it around to add some tasteful light when reading. The base is always black: Image Credit (Trusted Reviews) It would also have been nice to have a few design choices for those who don’t like the overly modern look, or even a few more shade options. It would have been nice to have a colour-matched charging base. Whichever colour you go for the charging stand will always be black, which makes it look a little odd and out of place on the white model. The grip can be either green or teal on the white model or dark grey or orange on the black model. Along with the main colour, there’s a choice of accent colours too in the form of a silicon grip. It’s available in either a white or black finish and stands around 36cm tall meaning it’s a good fit either on a table or, as I am using it, nestled on a shelf. The Hue Go Table Lamp comes in two parts – a charging dock that plugs into the mains and the lamp itself, which rests atop the stand.
