Philips Hue Gradient Lightstrip & Signe Floor Lamp Review (2026)
Philips Hue’s Gradient products — especially the Gradient Lightstrip and the Signe Floor Lamp — represent the more design-focused and atmospheric side of the Hue ecosystem. These lights create smooth color gradients rather than single solid colors, making them excellent for ambient lighting, TV bias lighting, and modern interior design. In 2026 they remain among the most polished premium accent lights available.
