Just a heads up, the makers of Hue lights are now Signify. They license the name Philips from the health company Philips. Given my recent customer experience, I now believe Signify operates very differently from Philips Ligthing.
Philips is selling its small domestic appliances business and hoping to strike a similar deal regarding the licensed use of the name Philips. They are centering solely around the Health business now.
Yes, though it has absolutely no link with Philips apart from the name licensing, contrary to before the renaming. This isn't crystal clear to consumers, I think. And it only submerges when there are talks of selling the rest of the consumer business. Or when contacting the Signify support, which is insanely worse than usual Philips support. (And that is to say nothing of the online buying / shipping experience which is awful.)
