Philips Lighting has announced the launch of the next category in the Philips Hue range, the Philips Hue white ambiance.

Philips Hue white ambiance is a wellbeing-focused light that helps to ensure the perfect light for every moment throughout the day. From warm gradual light that wakes you up naturally in the morning to energising light for increased productivity and relaxing reading light at the end of the day, Philips Hue white ambiance lets users tailor light to suit their lifestyle.

It features a Hue dimmer, which allows users to control all the lights in a singular room and set individual routines from their phone or wearables, including Fitbit, Apple Watch and Android Wear.

Research conducted by Philips Lighting on over 1,000 people around the country found 33% of Australians feel scared and uneasy in their own home, with poor lighting playing a major role in this. The research also found 11% of Australians believe proper lighting would make them feel safer and more secure.

Philips Hue white ambiance has been designed to take lighting beyond illumination to improve the overall lifestyle of Australians.
