Images show Philips Hue bulbs with light output up to 1600 lumens

Signify will announce various new Philips Hue lamps in August or September, according to Hueblog.com. The site shows images showing Hue lamps with a light output of 1100 and 1600 lumens. Most Hue bulbs now don’t go beyond 806 lumens.

The high-brightness Philips Hue lamps have a different shape than Signify’s current E27 lamps. According to Hueblog.com they are larger because better passive cooling is required due to the higher heat generation. The images show variants with an E26 fitting, which is the American equivalent of the European E27 fitting. Both lamps can display white light and color

The site also shows an image with three new Philips Hue variants in the Filament series, in which the LEDs are placed in a so-called ‘filament’. White Ambiance variants appear, with light whose color temperature is adjustable. Finally, there will be a new small E14 bulb in the Filament series.

Signify is also said to be working on new lamps that can display multiple colors at the same time. The manufacturer has so far only applied this in its Gradient Lightstrip. More details about this are not yet known.
