Technical documentation for the Hue Go (v2) lists a dual-protocol chipset supporting Zigbee and Bluetooth LE. The optical architecture utilizes a specialized bowl-shaped diffuser to provide a broad throw, with internal LED sub-pixels (lime and cyan) optimized for accurate White Ambiance replication. Material analysis confirms the use of a non-user-replaceable lithium-ion battery and an integrated physical button for local scene cycling.
Standardized testing protocols indicate a 20,000-hour LED lifespan, though the internal battery is subject to standard degradation over 300-500 charge cycles. The power delivery system relies on a 12W proprietary barrel jack rather than universal USB standards. When connected to a central bridge, the unit functions as a Zigbee signal repeater, improving network density.
While this unit is optimized for the Hue ecosystem, the Meross Smart Table Lamp provides a more accessible entry point for users requiring native Apple HomeKit support without a dedicated hub. This device represents a portable standard within the office lighting and ambient hardware categories.
