Yes, it can remember the setting (hue and brightness). The behaviour when the power is switched on can be set via the app: Standard / as last / specific setting.
The lamp has good luminosity. The luminosity can be adjusted from 0 to 100%, as can the light colour (from cool blue-white to warm yellow-white). Only shining upwards (towards the ceiling) is not possible.
The Philips Hue White Ambiance Enrave lamp provides both direct and indirect lighting. It not only shines downwards, but also against the ceiling to create indirect lighting. This is not an optical illusion from the product images, but an actual function of the lamp, designed to create cosy and versatile lighting.
The remote control is not included in the Philips Hue White Ambiance Enrave (1200 lm) lamp box. You will probably need to use the Philips Hue app or another compatible controller to manage the lamp.
- The remote control is a 1:1 Bluetooth connection to the paired lamp.
- The app can be used to control up to 10 Hue devices via Bluetooth.
- If you want to control more than 10 devices via the app, a Philips hub is required. This then requires at least a good local WLAN (technically speaking, not necessarily Internet to the outside)
- If you also want to control your lamps/devices from outside the local network, you will need a Philips Hub (Cloud) account and a functioning internet connection.
Unfortunately, the requested information on the article is not explicitly listed in the data sheet and the supplier was also unable to help us. According to my research, universal plugs with a drilling diameter of 4 mm and a length of 45 mm are used as standard for mounting the Philips Enrave XL.
It depends on what you want to do. Basically not, it also works with the remote control. But if you want it to be smart, or work with voice control from Google, etc., or be controllable from outside the house, then yes.
