Showmetech interviewed Gustavo Rudge to discover more about the lights of the Philips Hue🇧🇷 This technology, which has been widely used and expanded, along with the concept of the smart home, accompanies the daily lives of many people around the world. During the chat we asked about the smart light bulb market in Brazil, its adherence, values and much more. As it is a growing market, it is possible that the public will have many doubts, so come with us so you can stay on top of all the details!
The use of this technology
A Philips Hue is a technology that offers lighting solutions for people, whether at home, office or other environments. According to Gustavo Rudge, the use of this technology is already quite common abroad and began to be more explored in Brazil around 2019, especially when we relate it to another function that was widely talked about at the time: voice assistants.
And yes! These devices are identified as “smart bulbs” precisely because they have the ability to recognize voice commands. So as more people embrace devices that support voice assistants like Alexa, from Amazon, or the Google Assistant, the desire to have even more smart devices — such as light bulbs —, was getting bigger and bigger. Even a factor that intensified this greater adherence was the COVID-19 pandemic, when many people started working from home offices and consequently using more lights indoors.
Although many people use smart light bulbs abroad, the market still has a lot to expand and especially in Brazil, which according to Gustavo Rudge, about 5% of Brazilian homes have this technology. And as the market matures in other countries, this trend will only increase in Brazil as well, with new devices and other resources.
From research we see, mainly abroad [in foreign countries], where voice assistants are already more widespread, the most intuitive product to use with voice commands is lighting, so one ends up pulling the other.
Gustavo Rudge on the relationship between other voice assistant devices and lighting products.
Philips Hue, Philips Lighting or Signify?
A doubt that may occur is the confusion between brands, since the Philips Hue is the name that comes on lighting products. THE Signify is formerly Philips Lighting, the lighting division of Philips. Philips Beanies e WiZ are the consumer brands of Signify🇧🇷 Philips itself was breaking up its areas of activity into other companies, such as one specifically for TVs, another for lighting, one for health, and so on.
The price of Philips Hue Lights
The lack of adherence to smart lighting in Brazil may have an important indication: the price🇧🇷 One of the justifications that the spokesperson brought is the modernity that this technology brings, when compared to some other time when making this type of connection was a more dense job, which sometimes even required breaking down walls. Now just install the lamps to have this connection.
Another reason is the expansion of home connectivity which has also been facilitated. The entertainment factor is also considered, when there is the possibility of making a series of scenarios with the addition of this light system, such as on commemorative dates, parties and other ideal moments. THE Safety of the user, when we remember that there is a Wi-Fi connection in these lamps, it is also reinforced with the data accessed being encrypted.
Philips Hue is yet another wellness, security and entertainment system. If you look at it in that light, the value [in terms of quality, not price] and the ecosystem differentiators that Philips Hue products bring, compared to today's market, are massive.

lighting hub
When the space you want to contemplate with Philips Hue lamps, a suggestion is to use a hub, a device that facilitates the extension of data distribution between devices. Another device that helps in this wide connection is the protocol Zigbee, which, according to Gustavo, is an even better feature than Wi-Fi, for example.
It is capable of carrying out traffic without so many obstacles when there is more than one device on the network, in addition to being faster in responding to any command. Another very interesting information is if there is no internet in that environment, you can still use the products Beanies thanks to this Zigbee protocol.
Sync with music, movies and games
Indicated as one of the factors that calls attention when buying a Philips Hue product is entertainment. The gamer community tends to have all their peripherals in RBG, coloring their equipment all the time, and Philips Hue can also be involved in this. Your products can be handled through the application Philips Hue Sync, available to Android e iOS🇧🇷 The app can be used to sync and perform commands to devices.
Whether you're playing games with devices synced to Philips Hue bulbs, watching movies or listening to music, the lights adapt to these scenarios. In case of Spotify, there is a deeper synchronization, even using the company's artificial intelligence in partnership with Spotify. Gaming peripherals (such as Razer e Corsair) and smart TVs (with the operating system WebOS, Tizen ou Android TV) also rely on this specific synchronization.
And speaking of smart TV, a device that is not yet available in Brazil called Hue Sync Box, which connects via HDMI, also does this kind of deep sync. But for now, this immersive experience is usually carried out via mirroring of notebooks and PCs on smart TVs.
Direct from the Philips Hue app, you can sync with Spotify, making the beats of the songs synchronize with the color change. The difference here is that there is “deep synchronization”, as it combines Philips Hue's artificial intelligence with Spotify, this being an exclusive partnership.

How long does a Philips Hue bulb last?
The most direct possible answer is: it depends a lot on the type of use. And even common models have this kind of validity, however, Philips Hue have an incomparably longer term. Gustavo quoted between 10 the 20 years the possibility that a Philips Hue smart bulb could last.
