According to Philips, the new Hue Wireless Dimming Kit can connect to existing Philips Hue compatible products through the Philips Hue bridge, so the dimmer switch can be used to control smartphone-connected bulbs like the standard Hue and the Hue Lux. The dimmer can control up to 10 Philips Hue bulbs, white or multi-colored, but it can’t control the bulbs individually.

Today Philips has announced some new products in its Hue line of LED bulbs which is wireless dimming kit.
Each kit comes with a Philips Hue white light bulb and a portable battery-operated dimmer switch. You can simply stick it on the wall – or anywhere else, for that matter – without any need to integrate it into your household wiring. The new kit comes with one light bulb and a simple wireless switch with a total of four buttons: on, off, and two buttons which adjust brightness levels. If you’d rather not use the switch like a remote control, you can affix it to a wall and use it like a normal light switch. So Philips has come up with a solid and easy way for dimming the light. Plus, you dont have to get off the sofa to dim the lights anymore when watching your favorite TV show; you can even lower the lights from the warmth of your bed. It also allows its users to tune shades of white light or create any color.
Philips also said that the user won’t face any flickering and buzzing by using this dimmer kit. “With the kit, anyone is able to begin enjoying the simplicity of modern dimming”, says Leonardo Avenzzano, the marketing chief for Hue. The dimming kit will be available in stores in North America beginning in September of 2015.
