Philips wants to cover your home from the inside to the outside with its new lineup of smart lightbulbs that debuted today.

The new collection includes the smart vanity mirror that leaked last month and has a ton of new lights that are perfect for your bathroom, living room, bedroom, den or even the backyard.

Instead of just coming out with new Hue bulbs, Philips is instead focusing on creating a lighting brand. A lot of the new products don’t even have replaceable bulbs and use LEDs.

Meet the new Hue lights

First up is the Adore mirror that can be controlled from your iPhone or iPad. It measures about 20 inches across and is surrounded by a white LED light that can be dim or bright. Priced at $249.99, the mirror is supposed to launch on August 20. There’s also a new ceiling-mounted Adore light that costs $179.99 and has 30,000 hours of use.

If you’re looking for something on the cheaper end, there’s the new Hue Enchant Pendant that can hang from ceilings and only costs $99.99. You can also go more upscale with the Being Pendant that runs for $249.99.
