Product update

We are introducing a renewed generation of lights, alongside a refreshed range of accessories. The updates refine how each light looks, feels and charges. This helps create a cleaner and more reliable hospitality experience.

At Humble, we're always working to refine the details that make our lights easier to work with in daily operations. So we're excited to share that Air, Firefly and Two are now entering their next generation (V2). This is the first you'll be hearing of it, so we wanted to take a moment to walk you through what's changing and why. We've also put together a document with extensive, clear and complete information on this update. Download full details

In brief

Lights: Humble Air, Firefly and Two are moving to V2. Prices and design stay virtually unchanged, but a few details have evolved. Charging is now wireless-only, the USB-C port is gone. Indicator lights now sit hidden within the silicone base ring. The base carries more weight for a steady presence on the table. V2 lights offer four dimming settings instead of three, for more light output.
Charging: All new charging accessories are built to support Snap Charging, offering secure and automatic alignment. The magnetic Snap Charging system was already introduced with V1.5, without a new article number. If you’ve ordered recently, your lamp may already have this feature.
Accessories: Several new chargers and accessories are being introduced, replacing current models. See the product overview behind the download button for full details.
General: New article numbers and EAN barcodes apply to the next-generation lights and all new (charging) accessories. So ordering systems will need to be updated accordingly. Please also refer to the updated SKU list for the full set of changes.

What is changing

The heart of this update is charging. Until now, our lights could be charged both wirelessly and via USB-C. Going forward, charging happens exclusively through the wireless magnetic base. It's an important technical shift, one that makes the daily routine simpler and more consistent for the teams who handle our lights every service. One direct consequence is that a charging cable is no longer included in the box (see chapter 2. Lamp updates).

A compatible wireless charger is needed to use V2 lights to their full potential: Apple MagSafe is not compatible. This is purchased separately and it's the seller's responsibility to make this clear to the customer. We'd recommend every client orders a wireless charger alongside their V2 lights so they're ready to use from the moment they arrive. It is also possible to offer the V2 lights as a bundle with the Charging Dock Single, but again, the decision to do so and communicating it clearly (whether in-store or in an online product description) sits with the seller.

Beyond charging, very little changes. The price stays the same and the lights remain almost identical to the current range, with a few refined details. The indicator lights are now seamlessly integrated within the silicone ring at the base, rather than visible on the body. This detail gives the lights a cleaner, less cluttered appearance. The base itself carries more weight, giving the lamp a steadier presence on the table. V2 lights also offer four dimming settings instead of three, allowing for a wider range of light output and more precise control over the atmosphere in any space.

A gradual rollout

This transition won't happen overnight. It will roll out gradually, model by model, only once existing stock for that specific model has been fully depleted. In practice, this means there's no need to hold back on ordering in the meantime. Most of what you order now will still be fulfilled from current stock, just as before (see chapter 1. Understanding the updates).

A refreshed range of accessories

As this update takes shape, a refreshed range of accessories will also become available, built for exactly this kind of large-scale, everyday use. A few current accessories, including the Current single charger, Six Charger, Wireless Charger Six Large, Stackable versions and Remote classic, will not be restocked once current supplies run out. Some will be replaced immediately, while others remain available while stock lasts (see chapter 4. Charger & accessories updates).

In their place, a set of newer alternatives is being introduced: Charging Dock Single, Charging Dock Six, Stack Set, Charging Cart, Cable Box, Table Magnet and Remote Control with expanded functionality. Each has been built to work seamlessly with the new lights, while remaining largely compatible with existing equipment.

Understanding the versions

A quick note on the versions themselves, as it helps to know what's in circulation. V1 is the current generation. V1.5 is a transitional version already in circulation, combining elements of both V1 and V2. It has a magnetic base for Snap Charging, but is visually near-identical to V1 and shares the same article numbers and EAN barcodes. V2 is the next generation, introducing the changes described above along with entirely new article numbers and EAN barcodes. The V2 lights base carries more weight, so shipping packaging will be updated accordingly. See the SKU list for the full details (see chapter 3. How to identify each version).

Since V2 lights and all new accessories carry new article numbers and EANs, these will need to be added to ordering systems once active for each account (see chapter 5. Article number & barcode information).
