Philips Hue to Raise US Prices on Smart Lighting Products Due to Tariffs Starting July 1

Philips Hue, a leading brand in smart home lighting, will increase prices for its products in the United States starting July 1, 2025, citing US tariffs as the direct cause. The company behind Philips Hue, Signify, has communicated to customers and media that the price hike is a response to new or additional tariffs imposed by the US government. While the exact price increases for the full product range have not been detailed, recent launches such as the Hue Smart Button and Wall Washer in the US are already priced about 10% higher than in other regions, offering an indication of the expected changes. This move follows a 25% off promotional sale, which Philips Hue advertised to customers ahead of the price adjustment. The company has stated its commitment to providing high-quality smart lighting products despite the increased costs. The impact of tariffs is being felt across the tech sector, with other smart home devices, such as the Yale Smart Lock, also experiencing price jumps attributed to tariffs. Customers interested in Philips Hue products are encouraged to take advantage of the ongoing sale before the new prices take effect on July 1. Signify has also reserved the right to adjust prices further if additional tariffs are introduced in the future, reflecting the ongoing uncertainty in the trade environment affecting technology products in the US.1
