Perfect for the nightstand at home or on the go, the Philips Hue Go with HomeKit Adaptive Lighting features a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 18 hours on a single charge.

Desks and more

Philips Hue Play White & Color Smart Light, Single Base Kit

While marketed as a bias light for TVs and desk set up, the Philips Hue Play Bar makes for an excellent lamp with a slim, mountable design and HomeKit Adaptive Lighting.

Recessed and Adaptive

Philips Hue White & Color Ambiance Smart Retrofit Recessed Downlight

The Philips Hue Smart Recessed Downlight brings HomeKit Adaptive Lighting to those hard to reach — yet essential areas. These recessed lights pack in long-lasting LED technology capable of hitting a maximum of 700 lumens and outputting up to 16 million colors. However, the best feature is the clean, uninterrupted design you get with having all of the lighting built-in to the fixture.

Thread too

Nanoleaf Essentials 80-inch Lightstrip Starter Kit

Like most light strips, the Nanoleaf Essentials Lightstrip makes it easy to add a splash of color to any surface. However, what truly sets the Essentials Lightstrip apart is its insane brightness — 2,200 lumens peak, and Thread wireless connectivity. With Thread, you get ultra-fast response times and fantastic reliability if you have a HomePod mini in your home.

Bar-friendly

Philips Hue White & Color Ambiance Enchant Pendant Light

The Philips Hue Enchant bundles a beautiful, minimalistic pendant light with a Hue E12 color light bulb at a great price. Usually, $50 on its own, the E12 candle bulb inside produces 450 lumens of light, rich colors, and HomeKit Adaptive Lighting — so for just a few bucks more, you can upgrade the smarts and an outdated fixture at the same time.

Modern-looks

Philips Hue Flourish White & Color Ambiance Smart Pendant Lamp

If the Enchant pendant isn't quite big enough for your needs, the Philips Hue Flourish may fit the bill with its sizeable 15-inch glass globe. The round design is an excellent match for dining areas, especially when you consider its room-filling 3,000 lumens of bright, colorful lighting and dimming capabilities.

Gold standard

Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance A19 LED Smart Bulb

The standard A19/E26 Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance light bulb is the gold standard for intelligent lighting thanks to its excellent color reproduction and 800 lumens of bright white light. The latest generation Hue color bulb features Bluetooth onboard so that you can use it right out of the box without the Hue Bridge, but if you want HomeKit Adaptive Lighting, you will need to pony up for one.

Long-lasting

Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance BR30 LED Smart Bulb

Most modern kitchens and living areas rely on overhead recessed lighting, so if you want HomeKit Adaptive Lighting, you either need to go with a Philips Hue Downlight or these BR30 bulbs. Sure they are pricey, but since they are LED, they have a life expectancy of 22 years or 25,000 hours, so your wallet won't hurt again for a while.

Smart candles

Philips Hue White & Color E12 LED Candle Light Bulb

The elusive E12 candelabra style light bulb — found in ceiling fans and chandeliers, is the final piece of the smart lighting puzzle for many, and it gets even tougher to find when it comes to HomeKit Adaptive Lighting. In fact, this is your only option currently, but since it is part of the Philips Hue line, you know you are getting a quality bulb with plenty of colors and 450 lumens each.

This smart GU10 spotlight bulb from Philips Hue pairs well with HomeKit Adaptive Lighting, highlighting key areas — or decorative pieces, with customizable colors and color temperature. The Hue G10 bulb supports color temperature adjustments from 2000 to 6500K, and of course, the industry-standard 16 million colors.

Hues of color

Philips - Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip

Despite supporting HomeKit Adaptive Lighting, the show's true star with the Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip is its ability to produce multiple colors throughout its three available sizes — 55, 65, and 75-inches. Combined with media-syncing, multi-color capabilities make the Gradient a natural fit for the living room behind the TV. Still, during the day, you can take advantage of the gradual light shifts that you get with HomeKit.

Sleek design

Philips Hue White & Color Ambiance Signe Floor Lamp

The Philips Hue Signe truly makes a statement with its striking industrial design. Available in this floor lamp size or as a smaller table lamp, the Signe's ultra-slim diffuser gives off a beam-like effect that looks incredible in either color or various shades of white through HomeKit Adaptive Lighting.

Updated classic

Philips Hue Bloom White and Color Corded Dimmable LED (Bluetooth & Zigbee) Smart Light Table Lamp

One of the first color smart accent lamps available, the Philips Hue Bloom Table Lamp, is still alive and kicking with the latest features like HomeKit Adaptive Lighting. The newest model Hue Bloom now sports a maximum brightness of 500 lumens and supports Bluetooth pairing so that you can use it without the Hue Bridge. As always, though, you will need the bridge to gain HomeKit features.
