Due to its very easy installation, Hue is particularly suitable for commercial use in new buildings, old buildings, offices, stairwells, outdoor areas and shops.
Hue for new buildings and for renovations
The Philips Hue lighting system offers many exciting possibilities, especially when it comes to initial equipment or new equipment for rooms. For new buildings, renovations or renovations, simply opt for LED complete lights from the Hue series. These models work with energy-efficient LEDs and are already equipped with Hue intelligence by the manufacturer. Among other things, attractive wall lights, ceiling lights, ceiling spotlights, decorative lights, recessed lights, outdoor floor lamps and garden spots are available. The LEDs are either permanently installed in Hue complete lamps or a Hue bulb is already inserted. In both cases, you do not need any extra accessories.

Smart Hue bulbs with two hearts: Bluetooth and ZigBee
Hue producer Signify offers two Hue series, which differ in radio standards: ZigBee and Bluetooth models, and ZigBee models.
Hue products with ZigBee
The smart and secure ZigBee wireless standard is supported by every Hue product. The international industry standard ZigBee offers you great flexibility and wide range of wireless lighting control throughout the building. The Hue Bridge serves as the switching center and ZigBee radio base. The bridge is connected as a gateway to your network or WLAN router. It controls the Hue lamps, motion detectors, switch sockets and other accessories.
Operation and automation is done via the Hue app for Android and iOS. Via the bridge you can connect the Hue lighting system on request with many popular home automation solutions such as HomeMatic IP, Magenta SmartHome and Bosch Smart Home. The interaction with IoT automation services such as Conrad Connect and IFTTT also runs across the bridge.
Full wireless range: ZigBee works as a mesh network. Each connected hue light automatically increases the range. This is a big advantage over systems that only work with WLAN or Bluetooth. A far away Hue bulb does not have to communicate directly with the Hue Bridge, thanks to ZigBee, but instead transmits the signal to the next lamp. In this way, you can often manage your premises and small company buildings with just one bridge, which can be used to control up to 50 lamps and 12 accessories. For larger light installations, simply add more bridges.
