Signify publishes annual sustainability reports. The company commits to a minimum of five years of software support, but has a track record of much longer. When used on the base, the lamp is lit directly from the mains, bypassing the battery and prolonging its life. The battery can be removed, but replacement options are not yet available.

Philips Hue’s parent company, Signify, rates the battery in the lamp for at least 800 full charge cycles, with at least 80% of its original capacity and the bulb for at least 20,000 hours or at least five years of typical use.

A full charge of the battery takes about four hours. The one thing you can’t do is see how long is left on the battery, which seems like an oversight.
I put it in the middle of the table for a dinner party in winter, synced it to Spotify for some music-linked lighting effects, and used it to light a night of cards, all of which worked very well. That’s long enough for most outdoor evenings in the summer, but it isn’t the kind of lamp you’d take on a camping trip. Pick the lamp up and it switches to battery power, lasting up to 48 hours at its dimmest setting or about five at its brightest. When used on its little circular power base, the lamp draws electricity straight from the mains, bypassing the battery to avoid it wearing out.
