Question 1

Can I control panels with Bluetooth?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All new Philips Hue lights can be controlled with Bluetooth or a Bridge.

Question 2

Are accessories included with Philips Hue ceiling panels?

Accepted Answer

Accessories are sold separately from Philips Hue ceiling panels.

Question 3

What panel light should I choose?

Accepted Answer

It depends! We have a wide variety of LED panels, with different sizes, shapes, colors, light color, and usage area.

For beautiful light effects and sleek design, Datura is a good choice. It offers two independently controllable light sources, the main light and its backlight. Because of this — along with its sleek, slim aluminum frame — it’s both a beautiful decorative ceiling lamp and functional overhead light.

For a similarly sleek design in more shapes and sizes, choose Aurelle (color light) or Surimu (warm-to-cool white light). These panel lights also feature a sleek aluminum frame.

For ceiling panels in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, Tento is a good option. They’re available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, as well as in White, White ambiance, or White and color ambiance. Tento features a synthetic frame in black or white.

Question 4

What is the difference between the Philips Hue panel lights?

Accepted Answer

Datura features two individually controllable light sources: the main light and the backlight. It also features a very slim aluminum frame, which gives the illusion that the panel is a floating light on the ceiling.

Aurelle and Surimu are very similar ceiling panels, though they have one light source at the front and no backlight. Both feature aluminum frames, and the former is White ambiance and the latter White and color ambiance.

Tento also features one light source, though due to light leakage there is a very subtle backlight. It features a synthetic frame.

Question 5

How bright is the backlight on the panel lights?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the panel light. Datura has an individually controllable backlight, so it offers significantly more light than the other panels. Tento’s backlight is due to light leakage from the main light, so it is not as bright as Datura. Aurelle and Surimu do not feature a backlight.

Question 6

Can the backlight be controlled separately from the main light on both Datura and Tento?

Accepted Answer

With Datura, you can control both the backlight and the main light separately. Tento’s backlight is due to light leakage and can’t be controlled separately.
