Rumors suggest that a few users are currently testing new all-day scenes for Philips Hue smart lights. These features will provide lighting that changes dynamically over a 24-hour period, similar to the existing Natural Light scene. Some details about the new modes, Golden hours and Nature’s colors, have already been revealed.

Philips Hue could be about to launch two new all-day scenes for its smart lights. Rumors about these settings started after a supposed screenshot of a beta testing version of the Philips Hue app was shared on social media. This information was reported by Hueblog.de which does not provide further details about the source. It appears that this feature is currently only available to a handful of users.

The image shows the existing Natural Light scene as well as the new Golden hours and Nature’s colors 24-hour scenes. The Natural Light feature launched in late 2022 to sync your smart lights with your circadian rhythm. The lights are cooler and brighter in the morning, automatically transition to warmer hues later in the day, and dim at night. According to Hueblog.de, Golden hours mode is similar to Natural Light, but with warmer white lighting throughout the day. The color tones of nature remain unknown, with the corresponding image showing pink, white and orange flowers.

It’s not yet clear when the new Philips Hue all-day smart lighting scenes will be rolled out to all users. We can assume that this will be done during a future update of the brand’s smartphone application. The latest iOS update arrived in late October with a new widget function and features for Philips Hue security cameras, like the Secure Floodlight with Camera (currently $279.99 at Amazon).
