Hue V2 Glow: Find Your Switch in the Dark

Hue V2 Glow Accent: Find Your Switch in the Dark

This 3D printable glow-in-the-dark cover plate is designed for the Philips Hue V2 smart light switch, helping you easily locate it when the lights are out. It's a simple, practical addition for any room where visibility matters at night, like bedrooms or hallways, ensuring you don't have to grope around in the dark.

Key Features:

• Glow-in-the-Dark Effect: The plate uses glow-in-the-dark PLA filament that charges during the day and provides a subtle glow after dark, making the switch stand out without any extra electronics.
• Color Variety: Select from a broad range of glow-in-the-dark PLA colors to suit your style—Bambu Lab's site highlights options like yellow, green, and blue, but plenty more are available from other brands for experimentation.
• Fit and Compatibility: Tailored exclusively for the Hue V2 switch for a precise, secure fit that doesn't affect operation.

Print Recommendations:

• Filament: I've tested it successfully with Bambu Lab's yellow glow PLA, but it works well with any glow-in-the-dark filament—print it directly with your chosen material, and it's ready to go.
• Settings: Use standard PLA parameters: 0.2mm layer height, 15-20% infill, no supports required. It's a fast print, typically only a few minutes.

Installation and Use:
Just press-fit the printed plate onto your Hue V2 switch—it's straightforward with no additional assembly needed. Once installed, it blends into your smart home setup while solving that common low-light frustration.
