Philips Hue accidentally reveals three major products months ahead of launch

Philips Hue appears to have jumped the gun on a major announcement. According to Hueblog, the company briefly published a blog post meant to go live in September, exposing three upcoming additions to its Festavia lighting lineup before quickly taking the page down. These include curtain string lights, icicle string lights and net string lights, with the following descriptions provided on the blog prior to its removal:

Festavia curtain string lights: "Perfect for windows, walls, and behind your bed, curtain lights hang vertically to create a brilliant backdrop. They let you create a dreamy atmosphere with a beautiful gradient of colors or a cozy, warm white light."

Festavia icicle string lights: "Designed to hang elegantly along roofs, facades, or balconies, icicle lights recreate enchanting scenes. While they’re an iconic choice for winter holidays, their dynamic light scenes and movement effects make them a unique, captivating decoration all year round."

Festavia net string lights: "Net lights make it effortless to evenly drape greenery, hedges, and bushes with white and colored smart lights. Weatherproof and easy to spread out, they add a magical touch to your outdoor moments with light effects that can mimic glowing candles, flickering flames, or sparkling stars to give your outdoor moments a magical feel."

This isn't the first time that Philips Hue's plans have slipped out early. Based on the post's original publish date, the new lights are expected to debut around September 3.
