Philips Hue launches first wired wall modules to bring non-smart lights into ecosystem

Philips Hue launched its first wired wall modules today, bringing non-smart lights into its ecosystem for the first time, according to The Verge. The move matters because it lets households fold legacy fixtures into a single platform without swapping bulbs across the home. It is the first time Hue can control lights that are not smart themselves, widening the company’s addressable market and simplifying mixed setups.

The Verge says the modules install behind existing wall switches to control previously non-smart circuits. Hue also announced new Play table and floor lamps positioned as more affordable versions of its Signe series, along with upgrades to its E14 lineup, The Verge reports. Watch for official pricing, regional availability, and rollout timing from Philips Hue in the days ahead. [Developing. This article will be updated.]
