As we turn the corner on winter and start looking forward to the longer days and springtime, it’s a time to look at home improvements. I’ve been spending the last couple of months testing a new lighting system from Philips Wiz Connect, a Signify company that also owns Philips Hue.

To be clear, while Signify owns both Wiz and Hue, the two systems are not compatible and you can’t connect a Wiz bulb to a Hue bridge. However, on the plus side, you don’t need any bridge for any of the Wiz lighting devices.
