Philips Hue - Geek News Central Special Media Feed

(http://geeknewscentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Screenshot-2013-12-28-at-23.33.45-Edited.png)We've always been fans of the Philips Hue (http://www.meethue.com/) here at GNC and looking back I reviewed (http://geeknewscentral.com/2013/12/16/philips-hue-personal-wireless-lighting-review/) Hue back in December 2013. At that time, Hue was only a small range of connected light bulbs. Today Hue has a much wider range of bulbs and integrates with other elements of the connected home such as Nest (https://nest.com/), while Hue Tap (http://www.meethue.com/en-gb/the-range/hue-tap/) brings practicality, turning on lights with a physical switch.

The latest addition to the family is Hue Go, a portable light with a built-in rechargeable battery giving three hours of light. Bowl-shaped and 12 cm across, the Go can be controlled as any Hue light via the app. Off-net when there's no smartphone handy, the Go's on lamp controls can switch through seven presets, making the Go great outside even when there's no wi-fi.
