Philips’ Hue app now lets you edit lighting effects

Set your perfect mood.

Existing lighting effects include options that can make Hue lamps and bulbs simulate the appearance of a candle with a soft flickering yellow glow, or a fireplace with more intense flashes of red and orange. Version 5.28 of the Hue app — which is now available for iOS, iPadOS, and Android — adds cosmos, underwater, enchant, and sunbeam effects, bringing the total to 10. With spooky season well under way, Philips has also reintroduced Halloween scenes to the Hue app, which take control of all the lights in a room with different colors and transitions to change the mood.
