Philips Hue 555326 Smart Plug Bluetooth 950 lm 16M colors

Philips Hue Smart Lightstrip Extension

The Philips Hue 555326 is a Bluetooth-enabled lightstrip extension that adds 950 lumens of white and colour illumination to an existing Hue system. It supports 16 million colours and connects directly to the Hue Bluetooth app without a separate bridge. The strip can be trimmed at marked points or extended with up to eight additional pieces for flexible placement. A maximum rated life of 25000 hours provides long-term operation.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This extension suits owners of a Philips Hue Bluetooth lightstrip who want longer runs or shaped accents along cabinets, stairs or furniture. It is not a standalone product; buyers without a compatible Hue base lightstrip cannot use it. Users who need a plug-in power supply included in the box should consider a full starter kit instead.

Deciding specification — Bluetooth protocol

The single specification that decides fit is the Bluetooth protocol combined with the extension-only design: the unit requires a parent Hue Bluetooth lightstrip and app for power and control. If your installation already uses that ecosystem, the 555326 adds length and colour; if you are starting from zero, you need a complete Hue Bluetooth lightstrip kit first.
