I then had a little play with the colors on the large circular palette by switching and swiping the three tags. Maybe it was its proportions, or the fact that I don't have free corners in rooms with neutral white or off-white walls, or that it didn't really go with a lot of my furniture, but whatever it was I struggled to make room for it – and certainly so in a way that meant there wasn't a wire trailing too far across the carpet. Users can also choose from a total of 16 million colors that, similar to Philips Hue, means you should be able to match the lighting to the current mood and/or setting.

As with other Hue lights, the Hue app also makes it very easy to download and implement formulas from Hue Labs, which makes programming the Signe to play out, say, a wake-up routine easy. The Signe is even compatible with the Hue Play HDMI Sync Box for matching the content on your TV — though if you're looking mainly for that kind of functionality, something like the Hue Gradient Lightstrip will probably suit you better. Because, while the Gradient Signe worked brilliantly as a wake-up light, as an object I just couldn't make room for it in my bedroom.As mentioned, there is a quirk when it comes to HomeKit connectivity; you’ll need the Philips Hue Bridge to control your Signe Floor Lamp using Siri and Apple’s Home app. Again, if you are this person, then the Gradient Signe will work great for you, but on my thick slightly springy carpets, it did not feel solidly planted. Taking it out of the box, I was really blown away by the strength and quality of the design of the Signe. Although capable of filling a room, I preferred to keep it at a dim setting, since for the majority of my time with the lamp it was used as a bed-side light. Setting the lamp the colour you want is far easier with this system than the one used by the Govee Lyra.

I was allowed to try out the black model for you, a white version is also available as an alternative. Smart home device maker Govee has announced the Lyra, a new floor lamp from the company that offers millions of color options alongside numerous creative flourishes.It's available in black or white, plus an oak variant that adds a wood finish to the white model's base. Even in the middle of the day, if you turned on the Gradient Signe and turned all its lights to bright white you could not stare at it. It's a statement, color-changing smart lamp with plenty of versatility baked in, from mood lighting environments to adding visual excitement while watching movies, and on to waking you up each morning naturally as the ultimate wake-up light. Govee’s slight advantage is that its lamp ships with a remote control, so you can turn it on and off without the app or a wireless control.

The Bridge is the cornerstone of the Hue lighting ecosystem and foundational if you want to make the most of HomeKit, timers, motion sensors, scenes, and more. When a bulb displays "Up to" a certain number of lumens in its specifications, it displays the maximum lumen output of the bulb. It felt like the slightest knock would make it go tumbling over, which is something I'm guessing wouldn't be too good for its fragile-looking gradient light bar. Frankly, it would have been a lot quicker and less frustrating to just turn off the Signe Gradient via the app.I would have preferred that it extended from behind the light, rather than from the front of the base, allowing the cable to sit flatter and therefore more neatly on my bedside table. Open that box and you are presented with the lamp itself, which looks like a super large white lightsaber connected to a cylindrical base. In my Philips Hue Gradient Signe Floor Lamp review I will hopefully communicate what this smart lighting lamp offers, as well as if it will be a suitable match for your smart home. The table lamp is a fairly new product innovation from the brand, and is available as a floor lamp, too. Delving deeper in the app, I was relieved to come across the Hue Scene Gallery, as well as a sliding scale for a dimmer.

It certainly could be one to look out for after the fact, however, as a potential alternative to expensive (and increasingly hard to come by) Philips Hue products, like the broadly sold-out Signe floor lamp.So, if you've already connected Alexa to Hue Bluetooth, disable the Philips Hue Alexa skill in the Alexa app, and then reconnect it to the Hue Bridge via the Hue app voice assistant section.
