"The Wall Washer itself is a small, upright lamp inside an aluminum enclosure that feels very sturdy. It projects light outward and upward from three rows of LED lights, each working to produce smooth gradients and colors that are rich without being garishly oversaturated, which I've always appreciated about the whole Hue smart light line. It's a versatile little product, yet I find myself jumping through a lot of mental hoops to justify the Play Wall Washer."
"I recently went down a bright, RGB-laden hole with a mission: to satisfy my curiosity about smart lights that try to rip the colors off your TV and splash them onto the wall behind it. I've been skeptical of such TV lights muddying filmmakers' intent the same way modern TVs with motion smoothing and other AI image processing can. After toying with the Philips Hue Play Wall Washer, I wouldn't say I'm sold on the idea yet,"
Philips Hue Play Wall Washer is a compact aluminum-enclosed lamp with three rows of LEDs that project outward and upward to create smooth gradients and rich, accurate colors. The unit performs well for wall-coating accent lighting and as a bedroom wake-up light using the Hue ecosystem interface. Color output remains vibrant without garish oversaturation, and the light responds quickly. The device costs $219.99 and often requires a Hue Bridge for full functionality. Effective use often requires an appropriate space or additional investment to function as a TV bias/backlight, and brightness can wash out colors if too intense.
