Philips introduces Philips Hue Beyond, a lamp with two connected light sources that work together at the same time, offering both tunable white light and colorful light to enhance the space.

The latest addition to the Philips Hue system, Philips Hue Beyond benefits from all of the connectivity features such as the light recipes and interaction with more than 190 third party apps, but with twice the light.

Philips Hue Beyond has two light sources, an uplight and a downlight, that are both controllable separately via the Hue app using a smartphone or tablet. With Philips Hue Beyond you have the flexibility to create light that works for you; imagine having a relaxing evening ambience in your bedroom from colored light, whilst also having the perfect white light to read tuned to your ideal color temperature.

With its connectivity features, Philips Hue Beyond can alert you to a new email or change in weather via a gentle 'light notification,' just like Philips Hue. It also has its own interface within the Hue app to control its features. Select from a range of dynamic new scenes which take advantage of the two light sources such as 'Paris by night' for romance or 'Cherry Blossom' to wind down.

Philips Hue Beyond works with all Philips Hue and Friends of Hue products, which makes it easy to add to an existing Hue network.

Philips Hue Beyond is available as a table light, ceiling light and pendant light in Europe and North America from September 2014.
