WiZ, the more budget-friendly, hubless sibling to Philips Hue (both companies are owned by Signify), beefed up its range of Wi-Fi-powered smart lighting products with new releases this week. <\/p>\n

The $89.99 WiZ Mobile Portable Light<\/a> is coming in October, and the $24.99 WiZ Smart Button<\/a>, which acts as a switch or remote control for all WiZ lighting, arrives in September. The company also added WiZ bar and floor lights<\/a> as options for indirect lighting and wall-washing, which are available now. <\/p>\n

The current WiZ range starts at under $11 a bulb<\/a> and includes the standard shapes for white and colored bulbs<\/a>, light strips, and downlights. There are also smart plugs, a wired dimmer, and a motion sensor \u2014 most of the building blocks for a smart lighting setup. WiZ products work with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Siri Shortcuts, IFTTT, and SmartThings. <\/p>\n

Just in case the design didn\u2019t give it away, the name for WiZ\u2019s new lamp hammers home that the Mobile Portable Light is one you can easily carry from room to room (but not outdoors, as there\u2019s no water resistance rating). The portable lamp is battery-powered and comes with a USB-C charging cable. WiZ claims it runs for about 10 hours on a full charge, and there\u2019s a carrying handle. <\/p>\n

Lighting-wise, this is a full-color smart light, offering preset lighting modes, scenes, and dynamic options like candlelight that simulate a flickering flame, which you set up in the WiZ smartphone app. There are also options for a slow fade or slow brightening for winding down or waking up, plus you can use two different color gradients for an ombre lighting effect. <\/p>\n

There are physical controls on the light \u2014 a touch panel to dim, brighten, or activate preset modes, and you can use the WiZ app or a voice assistant for remote control (it works with Amazon\u2019s Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple\u2019s Siri using Shortcuts). <\/p>\n

You can pair the portable lamp with other WiZ lights to create scenes in the WiZ app, where you can also set schedules or activate a vacation mode (to have lights turn on and off randomly). The Mobile Portable Light also works with the new WiZ Smart Button, a battery-powered remote that can dim the light or turn it on and off. The button works with all WiZ products and can be set to control a single light, group, room, or all lights. It communicates directly with the lights, so works even if the internet is down.<\/p>\n

New WiZ light bars can sit flat on a table or shelf for ambient light effects.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

WiZ also released some ambient lighting options. The WiZ Bar Linear Light<\/a> ($84.99) is a two-pack of full-color light bars, similar to Hue Play bars<\/a> but for about $50 less. The WiZ Pole Floor Light<\/a> ($119) is a 59-inch tall, full-color light bar designed to add a wide-angle wall-wash effect to the corner of a room. It has a removable base, so can also lay flat on the floor for some light washing effects under a couch or behind a bed. The floor light has dual light zones. <\/p>\n

While both WiZ and Hue carry the Philips branding and are owned by Signify, the brands are completely distinct. They work over different primary protocols \u2014 WiZ uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and Hue uses Zigbee and Bluetooth \u2014 and there\u2019s no integration between hardware or apps. WiZ bulbs can\u2019t be added to the Hue Bridge, and while you can use the bulbs together on a compatible platform, such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home, there is no other crossover. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
