Turn your Hue lights into magical dynamic light scenes with Ambee. Transfer yourself to romantic Paris or get overflown by the colors and dynamics of Northern Lights. • 1 WHY AMBEE? Ambee invented Dynamic Light Scenes for Philips Hue in 2013 back then known as Goldee. Carefully chosen colors, hues, shades, duration, transitions that change the colors of your bulbs and coordinate well together are hand-crafted for you. • 2 WHAT ARE COLORFUL DYNAMIC LIGHT SCENES? It is a sequence of hand-crafted colors, shades at different brightness levels that move/dance/change in time to create a specific ambiance. • 3 WHAT'S THE SECRET SAUCE TO A DYNAMIC SCENE? We start with artist-sourced photos as our palette and then create a scenario for each scene. We have invented and created proprietary software for the Light Animations created by Philips Hue lights. The Lighting Library has been growing since it was introduced. • 4 HOW USERS DESCRIBE AMBEE #easy-to-use #simple #relaxing #inspiring #modern #stylish #vibrant #cozy #cusomizable #magical #powerful #surprising #handy #seamless Enjoy your new home!
