Philips Lighting is changing its name, and you’ll probably never even notice

Philips Lighting, the company responsible for creating one of the most identifiable names in the smart home market – Philips Hue – is changing its name. Starting now, Philips Lighting will be known as Signify, with a goal of 2019 set for full global implementation, although this news story may well be the last time you’re ever aware of the change. Phili–sorry, Signify, has confirmed that thank to an agreement with Royal Philips it will still be using the Philips name for its products, so you don’t have to worry about looking for Signify Hue lights going forward.
