Philips announces new Hue pendant light

Philips is introducing one of its biggest Hue lights yet: a full-on fixture meant to hang
from your ceiling and illuminate your dinner table with a big, seamlessly glowing disk of light.
I got to see the new smart light fixture, called the White Ambiance Cher Suspension light, in person recently, and it has a nice look that strikes a balance between not being too futuristic and tacky and not being too showy, either. It’s sort of designed to blend perfectly into a really generic West Elm catalog.
That said, I can also see the light standing out too much in a lot of dining rooms — the glowing disk is pretty unique. But that’s kind of the hard part about selling light fixtures instead of just standalone bulbs: even if someone wants a Hue-connected fixture, it has to match their home’s style first. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/8/31/16230432/philips-hue-pendant-light-fixture
