A new smart lightstrip from Philips Hue appears to be on the way. The Hue Solo Lightstrip 5m has been shown in images leaked by a US retailer, with dimmable white and colored light. Plus, the MSRP of the new model suggests it will be cheaper than the older Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus base V4 80 inch.

The Philips Hue Solo Lightstrip 5m has been leaked by a US retailer. Images and details of the upcoming smart light, with model number 589903, appeared in a product listing, which has since been hidden. The lightstrip is a White and Color Ambiance product, producing dimmable white and colored light.

Designed for indoor use, the Hue Solo Lightstrip uses LEDs to generate multicolored lighting. You can control the device using the Philips Hue app via Bluetooth, choosing from preset modes or customizing the lighting to suit your mood or the occasion. Up to 10 lights can be controlled simultaneously, or 50 if you use the Hue Bridge, with voice command options such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. The new model is 5 meters/16 feet (~192 inches) long, more than double the length of the older Lightstrip Plus base V4 80 inch. However, the Plus was extendable, whereas the new product can only be cut to reduce its size.

Further details, such as the maximum brightness, have yet to be revealed. The Philips Hue Solo Lightstrip 5m seems to have an MSRP of $89.99, around $17.99 per meter. This would make it significantly cheaper than Lightstrip Plus, priced at $99.99 or $49.99 per meter. You can also buy the Philips Hue Lightstrip Starter Kit, which includes a Hue Bridge, for $129.00. It remains to be seen when the latest smart lightstrip product from Philips Hue will officially launch. Another recently leaked device from the brand is the Philips Hue Twilight bedside lamp.
