Philips Hue White & Color Ambiente en exterior Juego de base 3 Hue White & Color Ambiance Smart Spot Lights, fuente de

I ordered this base kit with 3 lights from Amazon on October 5, 2018. I finally received them yesterday (11/27/18). It wasn’t Amazon’s fault, as apparently they have been out of stock from Philips for a while. I’ve been checking Philips website for the last 6 weeks and they still show “Out of Stock” on their website. I was amazed that Amazon was able finally deliver this order!I love the lights. They are very easy to setup and the ability to change the light colors is great (I also have a number of other Philips Hue lights inside my home). We were originally looking at getting a professional landscape company to install outdoor lights for us, but their estimate was over $2k. The price of these lights are a great value.I first wanted to try just 3 lights to make sure I like them. Now that I’ve tried them and am happy, I really need to get 5 more lights to complete my outdoor lighting in front of the house. Unfortunately, they are not available to order on Amazon now and they are not available on the Philips website either. Perhaps Philips just has more demand than they can supply. I emailed Philips customer service last week to inquire about new stock availability, but no response yet. Anyway, I hope more come availability soon, as they are great lights and would be nice to complete my home project.March 4, 2019 – UpdateI was finally able to order more of these lights on Amazon in December 2018. I now have 11 lights total in front of the house (2 new pictures added). I’ve been using these now for 3 months and they work great. I use the Sunset routine so they come on every night at sunset, and then I have them turn off automatically at 10pm. I try different color schemes every now and then just for variety (and fun). I have gotten some very nice compliments from my neighbors about how much they like the lights.I have seen other reviews complaining about the lights not being bright enough. I agree that the lights are not super bright. However, I was looking for accent lights for my home at night and they are sufficiently bright for my purposes. But if you are looking for lights that will light up an entire area in an open yard, then you may not be satisfied.

I had to get these regardless of the price. I already have over 40 lights/switches around the house. So having this integrated into the system just made my decision easier. My biggest complaint is how short the extension cables are. Come on guys, you all need to give us another option than just a 16’ extension.. and make them cheaper! I ended up getting a similar product for $4 less each. Since I needed to make a 160’ run I needed to buy over 12 of these cables, so the extra “savings” was a no brained. My other complaint is that they should sell the T adapters on their own. Of course they just want to make an extra buck. I also ended up buying an extra adapter from a 3rd party source(eBay).Pros:-Looks better than your typical landscape lighting-Well made-All of the color options(Holiday fun!)-Easy to setup and installCons:-Need longer cables or options to purchase different length cables-T adapters can not be purchased separately?!-$$$$

I love the way the outdoor Hue Lily lights look, the programmability and full color. And they are far less expensive than having a pro install low voltage lights that are just white. I’ve purchased 4 sets over the years and when they work, they are great. BUT….My first round of 3 sets each had defects with the power supply that allowed water to seep in after about a year. Hue/Signify did have a recall set up and they replaced them free even out of warranty.However I purchased a set in July 2022 and deployed them Dec. 6. But within just one week one of the 3 lights got totally water logged just from rain and quit working. Signify is replacing it, but this makes 4 out of 4 for leak issues causing failure. If it weren’t for that I’d give these a solid 4.

I bought two sets of these with 1 extension light for the front of my house. I spent tons of money over the years buying solar color changing lights (don’t get me wrong, they’re great when they last) and decided this time to put the money into a solid and well-built set. I absolutely love these lights and will be looking to add more Hue outdoor products in the future. They are heavy duty and well-built, and are bright. My house is white and I have the colors change based on the holiday or time of year (ended up with Red/White/Blue for quite some time around July 4th. Now I used a Philips Hue Labs formula to color change among a few schemes every few minutes. The lights turn on at sunset and turn off at sunrise (obviously you can change this). The HUE app still needs more work overall but I am extremely pleased with these lights. I have been a bit lazy about burying the wires under dirt/mulch so my only concern (my fault) would be the gardeners causing damage, but that’s what’s great about the replaceable cords. They are expensive, but when I look at all of the money I’ve spent over the years on solar lights, these are worth it.

I purchased two sets (6 lights) of Philips Hue Lily spotlight kits in July 2020. I did this after getting quotes for installing standard uplighting from local companies. Standard white lights was going to be around $2,000 total for 10 lights, or $3,000 for fancier bluetooth lights with 3 colors. I figured that $800 for 6 lights, which I could easily install on my own, connected into my existing smart home and fully customizable colors, was a steal.Initially, I was delighted with my purchase. The lights were easy to set up (we followed some tips from other reviews: plug in and connect your lights inside to test and ensure connection before doing the outdoor work). I was really impressed with the ease of the technology and the brightness of the lights. I liked that I could control my front lights seamlessly in the Hue app with existing routines, zones, etc. I loved that we could change the lights to a spooky purple for Halloween and even alternate the colors without hanging any string lights.However, we started noticing some problems when one light would turn on but not the right color. Long story short: we were able to get this fixture replaced under warranty. Now were are running into the same exact problem with another bulb with the condensation. Luckily, I they are replacing that one as well, but it sure is a hassle.We have also had some issues were the lights decide not to turn on, or just one spotlight of the set decides it doesn’t want to turn on that day. I’m not sure if that’s a connectivity issue, user error, or something else. And since the lighting is on the front of the house, it may be a few days or a few weeks before we discover it’s not working right. Since we primarily are using uplighting for safety/security reasons, I wish it was more reliable.Looking back, maybe it would have been better just to purchase the more expensive plain white on/off lights on a timer from a local installation company. But I’m still hoping for the fantasy that these work seamlessly and in the way I intend!
