Step Into the Future of Home Living: Philips Light Lab Unveils Next-Gen Smart Lighting in Toa Payoh

As smart home technology continues to shape how we live, the Philips Light Lab in Toa Payoh is redefining what lighting can do—beyond just illumination. Operated by DIYovation in partnership with Signify (Philips Lighting), the immersive space offers Singaporeans a hands-on journey into smart, connected, and energy-efficient lighting tailored for the modern home.

From cinematic lighting sync to AI-powered personalization, the Light Lab is now showcasing exciting previews of upcoming innovations from WiZ and Philips Hue, giving visitors a front-row seat to the future of lighting.

Light That Syncs with Your Screen: WiZ HDMI Sync Box Debuts in July

During a media showcase on 21 June, guests got an early look at the WiZ HDMI Sync Box, arriving in Singapore this July. This new device transforms your TV or gaming setup by syncing room lighting to your on-screen action — all without the need for a camera.

Key features:

  • Real-time sync with movies, games, and sports
  • Preset modes like Cinematic and Vibrant
  • Control via app, voice, or remote
  • HDMI 2.0 and 4K HDR compatibility

A game-changer for home entertainment, the Sync Box offers an immersive lighting experience at an accessible price point.

Design Meets Drama: Hue Play Wall Washer Launches October 2025

Also on display is the Philips Hue Play Wall Washer, a sleek lighting fixture that brings dynamic color gradients and wide-angle projection to your walls using exclusive ColorCast technology.

Perfect for syncing with games, movies, and music, it reacts in real time to deliver visually rich effects and transitions to elegant ambient lighting when idle. Adjustable projection zones allow users to tailor the experience to their space.

Smart Lighting Gets Smarter: Hue’s First AI Assistant Coming in August

Personalized lighting gets a major upgrade this August with the launch of Philips Hue’s first generative AI assistant. Whether you type or say your mood, vibe, or occasion, the AI suggests the perfect scene—or creates a new one just for you.

Upcoming updates will also include automation tools, lighting schedules, and a chatbot for in-app support, making smart lighting more intuitive than ever.

Lighting Up Sustainability: A Hands-On Learning Journey

More than just a tech showcase, the Light Lab also supports sustainability education. In collaboration with the National Environment Agency (NEA), curated learning journeys educate the public on how smart lighting contributes to energy conservation and greener living.

Key takeaways include:

  • Practicing energy-saving habits
  • Choosing high-efficiency products with NEA’s Energy Label
  • Embracing climate-friendly home solutions

These sessions are part of NEA’s Clean & Green Singapore (CGS) Experiences, empowering Singaporeans to take climate action in their everyday lives.
