Philips Hue works a little bit differently from the lower-end WiFi bulbs and LED strips you’ll find on the web. Like its competitor Zigbee, Philips Hue works through a central hub that securely connects to all Philips Hue products.

From there, Philips Hue is your oyster. Yes, you’ll need a bigger budget than usual, but the Philips Hue range is unbelievable. If there’s a lighting solution you need in or outdoors, the chances are they’ve got your back. Lightstrips, garden lights, portable lighting, lamps, mood lighting, and lighting synchronized to movies and gaming are all possible with the right Philips Hue setup.
