HUE GO TABLE LAMP PORTABLE

How I tested the Philips Hue Go portable table lamp I just wish Philips Hue would give us a battery percentage indicator.Īmazon Alexa, Google Assistant & Apple HomeKit I was impressed with how long the table lamp lasts off a single charge when projecting vibrant and bright colors, but even more so with how energy efficient it is on less intense settings. There’s minimal delay between the app and the light, it integrates easily with various smart home ecosystems, and delivers a wonderful ambient light. Nevertheless, the simple design is attractive.Īs we’ve come to expect from Philips Hue, the light performs splendidly. The base plate really takes away from its design, as does the height of the light plate and the lack of any overhead light spray. However, everything else is made with fantastic care and attention to detail. Given its slightly low brightness and the issues with its base plate, I’d say the Philips Hue Go portable table lamp is marginally overpriced. Philips Hue Gradient Signe table lamp Attributes Its inoffensive design, user-friendly app, and simple setup make for the perfect companion. It also feels like a great entry point for newbies to start building their first smart home.

Its battery life is truly impressive, and its portability came in very handy when I was looking in dark cupboards, crawling around under my desk trying to fix my PC, and enjoying company on my balcony. I found the lamp to be really useful, too. Still, it’s the only smart table lamp I can think of to take its design cues from the more familiar, traditional table lamp form factor, and as a first attempt it works fantastically well. It could certainly do with being a little taller and a little brighter to meet the expectations a user would have of a regular table lamp, and it feels like Philips Hue fell at the last hurdle when it comes to the wobbly, sometimes mismatched charging base. You can either use the color wheel to choose from 16 million shades, use some of the many ready-to-go “scenes” (multiple themed colors through which the light will cycle) in Philips Hue’s library, or even create your own custom scenes using the color wheel or your favorite photos.Īll in all, the Philips Hue Go portable table lamp is a slightly flawed yet fantastic addition to the Philips Hue Go lineup. Once that’s done, you unleash a whole new world of potential for your portable table lamp.

Simply download the app and, where relevant, add the device to your preferred smart home ecosystem, and you’re good to go.Īs with all Philips Hue lights, it’s spectacularly easy to connect the table lamp to the app with either a preinstalled Philips Hue Bridge, which allows for up to 50 devices, or Bluetooth, which allows for up to 10. You can opt to exclusively use the preset hues on the lamp (my personal favorites are Forest Green and Cosy Candle), but as with all of the best smart lights, there’s no need to fork out for one of the best smart switches to remotely control the Hue Go portable table lamp and unlock its true potential. A decisive knock will see it fall off its dock, and even when placed on a table, vibrations through the floor as you walk around your home can cause the lamp to teeter, flickering the light on and off in the process. Second, the lamp isn’t terribly secure on its base. This feels like an oversight from a company as design and aesthetic-intensive as Philips Hue. Although I tested the black lamp, I’ve seen customer feedback online stating that the base plate for the white colorway is also black. The black charging dock itself is the source of two of my biggest complaints with the Philips Hue Go portable table lamp. One of my greatest gripes with Philips Hue lights is that there’s no way to determine the level of battery remaining, but the manufacturers suggest it takes 3-4 hours to fully charge.

On test, more vibrant hues at full brightness saw it last just under 6 hours, while dimmer and less intense settings such as the flickering Cosy Candle scene saw it last close to 48 hours. This is almost double the lifespan we saw in the Philips Hue Go 2. The lamp charges on a small wired dock – and, fully charged, the battery can last up to 48 hours, depending on the hue selected.
