GoKawiilPhilips Hue launches Liane, a color-changing rope light for architectural lighting
At IFA in Berlin, Philips Hue unveiled the Liane 360-degree Rope Lights, a flexible, cuttable smart lighting product that uses OmniGlow technology to emit diffuse light in every direction rather than pinpoints. The lights can be shaped, draped, or mounted along walls, ceilings, or furniture and controlled via the Hue app to display any color combination, with pricing starting at $399.99 for a 3-meter length and going up to $549.99 for 5 meters.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Architectural rope lighting has long been a staple of modern interior design, but it has almost always been limited to static white light. By adding smart, color-changing capability to this format, Hue is pushing connected lighting further into home decor rather than just novelty gadgets, though the steep price signals this remains a premium, design-focused product rather than a mass-market one.
- Hue's Liane rope lights use OmniGlow tech for diffuse, direction-free illumination.
- Lights are flexible, cuttable, and controllable via the Hue app for custom colors.
- Pricing starts at $399.99 for 3 meters and rises to $549.99 for 5 meters.
