Signify just launched multiple new additions to its Philips Hue range of smart connected lighting. These include the Go portable table lamp, Tap dial switch, customizable track lighting, and a new colorway for the Signe gradient lamp.

Let’s go through them, in reverse order. The new $350 Signe gradient lamp comes clad in oak, adding to the black and white options already available.

It’ll be available in mid-July in the US, and you can get it in the UK today for £300. There’s also a smaller table version, for £200.

Then there’s the Philips Hue Perifo track lighting system which you can see in the featured image at the top of the article.

This comes as sections of railing that can be put together to suit your room and style. It’s comprised of straight and L-shapes and includes your choice of smart lights from pendants, spotlights, light bars, and light tubes.

Hue’s first portable table lamp, the €149.99 / $159.99 Hue Go, is coming this summer, as well. Featuring up to 48 hours of battery life, it also has a button to cycle through preset light scenes, so you don’t have to leave the Hue fun at home.

The last item announced today is the $49 Philips Hue Tap dial switch. Available in white and matte black, it acts as a dial-based dimmer for your Hue lights.
