    Bought as a gift for a friend who never installed it, I’m sure it works fine!

    I’ve made my whole house smart bulb compatible and the garden was the last thing that need to be made “smart”.
    Looks great, went up easy. Definitely worth it!

    Light bulb not that bright but is dimmable and is good for outdoor along with a philips sensor. Both are quiet pricey but worth if you want something on the long run.
    I had it over 6 months now so far and does the job!

    I have about 5 of these and they seem very well built, best but is you can change the bulbs. All the other hue outside lights are fixed leds so when the light goes you will have to throw the whole fitting away. When you want a dusk to dawn light those type of lights won’t last long considering the price but with this one it’s just a bulb change

    Very pleased with my Philips Hue Lucca so far, looks very modern and stylish on the front of the house.

    Uses a standard Philips Hue bulb inside the enclosure, so you won’t need to replace the whole unit if the bulb was to ever blow.

    Very simple to mount, just a few screws into the masonry. Be advised the product does not include a motion sensor, this is sold seperately by Philips, you have to control this light via your Light Switch or the Philips HUE app, hence the reason I haven’t reviewed the product based on motion detection.

    You can set up routines in the Philips HUE app so the light will come on during certain times of day, a game changer for keeping your entryway illuminated in the evenings.

    Replaced the old garden lights with a pair of these. Easy to install and configure. They look great.

    Note: the review asks me to score “Motion detection”. These lights on their own DO NOT have motion detection. I knew that when I bought them. To get motion detection you must buy the “Philips Hue Outdoor Motion Sensor”, which is even easier to install (it’s wireless) and easily configured with Hue app (and Bridge) too.

    Easy to install, using with a motion sensor so the app allows the lights to be off at night unless triggered. My opinion but great value for money, really happy with my purchase.

    Nice looking outdoor lights. We have about eight in our garden and the lights are really enhanced the space. Being able to adjust the brightness is great. They are a bit expensive though.

    I have bought a few Hue lights for outdoors, and while they are expensive they have much cleaner lines than normal fittings, are easy to clean, and look brand new, years later. We had the silver fitting at our old house, and 2 years later it still looks like it was brand new.

    I’m buying another 2 of these fittings to go with the 1 I bought for the new house in September, this time for the back.

    You have to buy a separate motion sensor, which is a bit of a con, and yes, these are expensive. But Hue is a good system for security and you can set a low level ambient light which will deter burglars and welcome you home. This can be set to work with sunset and sunlight – or at times you wish, randomly. That’s really what you pay the money for Hue for. It can also be switched on and off with Alexa by voice. Good if you have your hands full, although Alexa can be obtuse.

    These fittings are mains hard wired, but they are easy to fit. Only quibble is that the unit depends on a very small screw to be secured. If you lose it, it’s a pain! So many manufacturers are doing this, that I’ve ordered a tiny screw set, so I don’t have to have the eyes of a hawk!

    This is annoying but it’s not a deal breaker for me. But you would think there would be a better way to secure a big heavy lampshade than some tiny screw the size you might use in a pair of glasses.

    The PIR is separate with Hue which seems a bit cheap, however this means you can set up the PIR in a location away from the unit and the lights will come on. For our set up this is an advantage. The light will also come on if you so wish, when it senses you/ your phone is near.

    Overall while Hue is expensive it is good, and offers some clever flexible solutions.

    Easily installed and very easy to set up and control from Hue app on iPhone. Sensor is excellent (if a little expensive), easy to control motion and light sensitivity from the app. Cleverly designed to fit on or in corners of wall and can control multiple lights

    These are on the front of my house. The lights are fairly large so make sure you take note of the measurements but they look great and being plastic should stay looking great unlike all the steel ones I have bought in the past. The motion sensor initially look huge and I was worried that it would be an eye sore but once fitted I soon forgot about it and the functionality is great along with the extra functions available through the Hue app.

    As with all Hue, they come at a high price. Installation was easy, we have it setup to turn on at local sunset and off at dawn, it can also be set to turn up brightness or come on when a mobile phone gets near (Thanks IFTT). We’d buy again and recommend.

    All the lights in my house are Philips Hue so this was a no brainer to replace the front door light with this one. Was super easy to install and looks really good. The build quality was great too.

    The light is nice, well designed and robust. However, when you turn off the mains electricity by the fusebox and back on again, the light loses its connection with the bridge every time and stays on permanently. It’s not a huge problem but is frustrating as you cannot turn the light off. I have to go into my loft space and find the bridge. I have to press the big link button over and over again.

    So just be aware, unlike a router, smartphone and many other devices, the Hue does not seem to know how to re-establish a connection. You will need to do it manually many times. The Apple app my home loses its connection as many times and it will need a hard reset of the Hue link button.

    Overall, its a nice light but deeply frustrating when I am shouting at Alexa and nothing happens.

    Easy enough to install if you have some DIY skills. Can’t understand people who had problems. No drill, drill bit or wall screws in box!! Lol

    For the price it would have been nice to get fitting screws, rawl plugs and maybe a simple drill template included.

    I was surprised that it’s actually just an outdoor fitting with a screw in Hue bulb. The bulb has a slightly different model number so presumably is better rated for extreme temps than the standard ones. However, you can probably get away with a normal outdoor enclosure and a standard hue bulb for a lot cheaper.

    Une borne d’extrieur au design assez russi appairer avec votre pont Philips “HUE”.
    Si vous n’avez pas encore le systme “HUE”, il vous faudra un Pont pour utiliser correctement l’ampoule.
    La borne est sobre (et sombre), couleur mtal, un peu lgre (dommage pour un produit destin tre utilis en extrieur, mais vous pourrez la lester avec un peu de sable ou quelques pierres).
    Usage extrieur, de prfrence en pleine terre (arrive du fil par dessous, un usage “pos” est difficilement envisageable).
    La procdure est simple, on dmonte le pied du luminaire (3 petites vis munies de joints ne pas perdre) pour avoir accs au bornier (Phase/neutre, pas de fil de terre), on branche et on effectue une recherche de nouveau luminaire dans l’application HUE.
    C’est rapide, et la borne fonctionne tout de suite. Variation d’intensit uniquement sur ce modle, l’ampoule est de couleur “blanc chaud”, et ce n’est pas modifiable.
    Deuxime tape pour les utilisateur d’Alexa, une nouvelle recherche de luminaire dans l’application, la reconnaissance “automatique” n’tant parfois pas adquate.
    Ensuite a roule… Bon… je pense que j’en profiterais plus au printemps, en ce moment je ne passe pas beaucoup de temps dehors.
    Le bon point c’est que ce luminaire utilise un emplacement “standard” E27 pour l’ampoule. Vous pourrez donc remplacer l’ampoule par une autre ampoule connecte ou non en cas de panne. Ce n’est pas le cas avec certains appareils de la gamme HUE ou les lampes sont intgres et non remplaables.

    I’m reviewing the Philips Hue Lucca LED Smart Outdoor Garden Wall Lantern, Aluminium, E27, 9.5 W, Anthracite. Here are my thoughts:

    The Lucca wall lantern can be connected to your existing Hue bridge to get all the features, like away-from-home control, geofencing and scheduling. Hue bridge not included, but the Hue white bulb is.

    It’s probably easy to set up if you know what you’re doing but I found it easier to get an electrician in! I know… but that’s just me. I had a couple of other things I needed doing so this came at the right time. I also changed the bulb to a colour smart bulb, for a more ambient mood. Its nice to be able to change the colours outside!

    For me this works well with Alexa and saves me having to get up an go to the light switch before letting the dog out so she can do a poo bathed in an exotic red or green light! 🙂

    Good build and fairly easy to set up once wired in. Gives a good light in the garden or at the side of the house where really its well placed and the light is good coverage for the side without it covering half the neighbours garden. Its pretty solid so stands up to the elements and all in all is fairly good for the price.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersCette borne est en alu peint en gris anthracite, avec une texture un peu granuleuse.
    Contrairement l’illustration actuellement prsente, la hauteur totale est de 400 mm (et non 250 mm)

    Ce luminaire est de la gamme HUE mais n’en a finalement que l’ampoule E27 white . Elle est cependant un peu diffrente car reconnue comme clairage extrieur dans l’application HUE.
    Il est donc possible de la remplacer par toute autre ampoule e27 (maxi 9,5W), comme par exemple une HUE white & color .
    A noter que l’ampoule fournie peut fonctionner de manire classique, sans pont de connexion Philips.
    Le systme HUE permet d’utiliser le signal d’autres luminaires HUE jusqu’ 20 m afin d’tendre la porte. En plaant des luminaires tous les 20 m on doit pouvoir couvrir des grandes alles.

    L’alimentation est dissimule dans l’embase plastique du potelet qu’il faut dvisser (3 vis, cl torx fournie).
    On y trouve un domino dissimul sous une cloche plastique. Un obturateur caoutchouc est fourni pour raliser l’tanchit avec notre raccordement lectrique.
    Pour fixer le luminaire au sol, il est ncessaire de percer l’embase 3 reprises.

    Une fois l’ampoule HUE monte, la cloche en plastique diffusant cercle de mtal se monte simplement en vissant. Il est d’ailleurs dommage qu’il n’y ait pas de systme scurisant le vol de l’ampoule, sachant qu’elle coute une quinzaine d’euros.
    Au niveau de l’clairage, l’ampoule E27 white rgle au maximum de sa puissance est selon moi suffisante pour ce type de produit.

    Hauteur 400 mm (et non 250)

    Cette borne d’clairage extrieure Lucca de Philips est fournie est fourni avec une ampoule hue white.
    Bien entendu, le pont Philips Hue n’est pas fourni mais si vous n’en n’avez pas je vous conseille d’en avoir un sinon il n’y a pas d’intrt d’avoir cette borne d’clairage.
    En effet, si vous n’avez pas le systme, cette borne ne vous sera aucune utilit pour une utilisation connect (elle fonctionne normalement).
    La borne est fourni monter votre rseau lectrique. Il faudra donc disposer d’un dispositif extrieur et d’tre un peu bricoleur pour pouvoir l’utiliser car ce n’est pas une prise lectrique qu’il faudra brancher mais directement les cbles.
    La borne est heureusement tanche vu qu’on la laisse l’extrieur. Dans le jardin, elle est assez jolie avec sa couleur anthracite.
    L’ampoule fournie est de couleur neutre blanche mais on peut la rgler en couleur plus froide ou couleur plus chaude. Ce qui est pratique avec le systme Philips HUE s’est que l’on peut rgler la luminosit facilement via son smartphone.Ce n’est pas complexe pour ajouter l’ampoule votre systme HUE existant (la gamme Hue est assez facile d’utilisation). Pour l’application IOS, c’est celle que vous utilisez dj avec votre pack existant HUE. Vous pourrez ainsi programmer l’allumage de la borne d’clairage et faire les diffrentes configuration.
    Je vous conseille d’ajouter aussi un interrupteur hue. C’est vraiment trs pratique et mieux que de sortir sur smartphone.En conclusion, borne d’clairage extrieure Lucca est trs pratique si vous disposez dj du systme Philips HUE.

    On retrouve bien ici la qualit “Philips” :
    – Cot borne : le design ici est bien pens, cette borne est moderne tout en restant assez “discrte” pour passer dans n’importe quel jardin. Le revtement gris anthracite est du plus bel effet mme si on pourra lui reprocher une certaine sensibilit aux rayures. Le montage est trs simple et tout a t fait pour assurer une bonne isolation l’humidit.

    – Ct logiciel : j’utilise dj un pont “Hue” la maison. La liaison s’est ralise sans problme et trs rapidement. A noter qu’une distance de 20 mtres est possible entre chaque bornes ce qui permet de placer un grand nombre de bornes sur un chemin assez long et loin de la maison. Avec ce systme on peut facilement programmer un allumage de la borne selon l’heure par exemple. La liaison avec Alexa (d’Amazon) fonctionne impeccablement bien, cela fait toujours son petit effet devant les invits quand je dis voix haute “Alexa, allume le jardin” ! 😉

    J’ai apprci le fait qu’une ampoule (ici Hue) soit fournie : c’est un gage de prennit (si l’ampoule ne fonctionne plus on peut la changer sans devoir changer toute la borne !). On peut aussi mettre une ampoule de couleur par exemple.

    Reste le prix, assez lev mais on a l’habitude avec ces produits. A voir dans le temps ct solidit, je ne manquerais pas de faire une mise jour de ce commentaire dans quelques annes si le systme se dtriore.

    Important : il s’agit bien ici d’une borne destine tre relie un rseau lectrique au sol dj existant. Il n’y a donc aucun cble et il n’est pas prvu que la liaison se fasse sur le ct (pas d’encoche pour passer le cble).

    Si ce commentaire vous a aid dans votre choix n’hsitez pas cliquer sur “UTILE”, cela m’encourage ! ^__^

    Golden Review Award: 24 From Our UsersWe bought two of these Hue outdoor wall lamps and will soon add another one to replace rusty, less sturdy lamps (that we already equipped with Hue bulbs. We have a growing Hue range and this is a great addition to it. This new range looks aesthetically pleasing and given its coating / material rust won’t be a problem at all. Time will tell whether the white lamp cover will yellow.

    With a little DIY skill and tools (drill & screwdriver) it was quite easy to fix the lamps on the wall: requires two drill holes each. Obviously make sure to shut down the power mains before connecting.
    We have however replaced the standard white Hue bulbs that came with the lamps with the coloured versions that we were already using in our garden lamps (see picture attached). So we continue to bathe our terrace in the appropriate atmospheric light when nessecary.

    Great quality lamp, love Hue, easy to install

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersI’ve already reviewed the Tuar version which we’ve installed either side of our rear doors, so I won’t go into detail about installation etc of the Lucca, but we purchased this for our front door which was badly in need of a replacement light fitting. The Lucca design is excellent for the front of a property, working almost as a ‘sabre’ style light would in so much as it shines up and down. This for us is ideal, as our house number sits directly below the Lucca, and is therefore lit up whenever the Lucca is on. We control this by a timer routine in the Hue App and it works really well.

    One star off as the price is high for what is, in effect, a simple product with a basic Hue bulb included, but I guess you pay for the desirable Hue name, the design, and in fairness the build quality, which is absolutely first class. A doddle to install, and really looks the part.

    La lampada convince gi dopo essere spacchettata. davvero molto bella.
    Sono rimasta sorpresa dalle sue dimensioni, in quanto pi grandi di quel che mi aspettavo.
    Il montaggio semplicissimo come qualunque altra lampada che va montata a terra. Il collegamento con il sistema Hue (se lo utilizzassimo) avviene semplicemente aggiungendo la lampada alla App della casa intelligente.
    Lampada ha un aspetto molto moderno ed esteticamente attraente. Mix di alluminio smaltato e plastica rigida di qualit. Dobbiamo munirci di cavo della lunghezza adatta a quella necessaria.

    Beautiful, solid, quality light for outdoor use, which has a Philips Hue dimmable white bulb in the pack. I already had a Hue Bridge so didn’t need to worry about buying one, but if you’re starting a new Hue lighting system for your home, you’ll need to get the Bridge to control everything, which connects to your router.

    We already have our whole house running on the Hue lighting system, so I was delighted that it’s now possible to get outdoor lights as part of the range too. I can’t sing the praises of Hue enough, we use our system all the time and it’s very effective.

    This light is just so smart and contemporary, it puts other outdoor lights to shame, frankly.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI have had a “Hue” lamp in a standard outdoors bulkhead fitting now for several months with no problems even though in the past the lamps have not been recommended for outdoor use.

    Anyway, that is pretty much what this is, a lamp fitting with a E27 socket with a normal size “Hue” lamp in it.

    The lamp does have a slightly different code from my ten other “Hue” lamps around the home code number LWW001 which I can find no match for.

    I must admit to thinking that the fitting would also have a motion sensor in it to signal your “Hue Bridge” for automatic operation should anyone approach it after dark but alas no.

    When off, like all “Hue” lamps it uses less than 0.5w which is pretty good.

    The fitting is well made and gives a nice even light outwards and up and down.

    Installation is pretty easy with the lamp holder base getting attached to the wall (no hardware provided) and then you fit the shade/cover (allen key provided).

    If you already have working outside fittings with ordinary pearl shaped lamps in you may just want to try putting a “Hue” lamp in at a cost of under 15.00

    Either way, you do need to have a “Hue Bridge” setup and working to control the lamp which if you have several lamps work out cheaper as the actual lamps can be quite dumb and thus cheaper to buy.

    My ones are set to come on at sunset and go off at 23:30. Also using SmartThings they will also come on for 15 minutes after that if any family members approach home (tag on keyring triggers home/away status).

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThis is a pretty decent outdoor light, with smart features.

    The review product we received came with a Hue Bridge, which is required for the smart features. However it really isn’t clear from the Amazon product page whether or not the full retail versions of this product will come with the bridge.

    The build quality is OK, though the plastic housing is a little flimsy, especially if you install onto a harled wall like we did.

    The written instructions are adequate but could be better.

    This was our first experience with smart lighting, so there’s a definite novelty factor. There is something satisfyingly futuristic in switching a light on and off using your phone.

    We like that, based on your phone’s location services, the light can be programmed to switch on when you come home and switch off when you leave. This product says it’s for outdoors use, though you could mount it indoors if you wanted.

    There were no mounting screws included, so we had to source our own rawl plugs and screws. It would be nice if these screws were included and the manual showed the optimum position to afix the screws, rather than leaving us to just guess.

    This is certainly is a high end light, but it is marketed a bit pompously. Essentially its just a good looking aluminium and plastic housing with a live and neutral connection block inside and a clever light which speaks to the Hue Bridge wirelessly. It’s nice, but IR sensors and lightbulbs have been doing the same job for decades at a fraction of the price.

    We personally wouldn’t buy this light with our own money at this moment in time. We feel that as time passes and the technology becomes commonplace, the price will reduce. If the product is meant to come with the Bridge then yes, this package seems like good value, however if the retail version doesn’t have the Bridge included, then it’s another 45 on top.

    The Amazon product page definitely needs to clarify if the bridge comes included or not. If not, the price should be lowered in our opinion.

    Golden Review Award: 14 From Our UsersBuild quality of the housing is brilliant, wall plate isn’t great but does the job. Drill out / cut out the plastic from the screw holes which are meant to be horizontal and vertical slides to help you align. Slice the rubber gromet and fix before attaching the back plate to the wall and use a spirit level. Good location for wire terminal block. And once fitted looks awesome. I changed my e27 bulb to a colour Philips hue bulb as I had a spare. The bulb supplied is the standard just white dimmable e27. Would have liked Philips to supply the ambience white.
    Ordered another already for the front of the house. Since you can set the brightness level means unlike other LED wall lights it’s not in the neighbours face so to speak.

    Dimmable wall light, great build and easy on eye design.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis is a sturdy metal-framed light that looks as good in person as it does in the listing. It’s not especially “Hue” though – it’s just a normal external wall light that comes with a Hue bulb that you could add to any light fitting you liked. As such, it’s somewhat premium-priced for what it is – it doesn’t even come with screws!

  40. Rod Younger says:

     United Kingdom

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersGreat to see that the Philips Hue range is now expanding beyond light bulbs and devices for inside the home. The range now includes various wall lamps and stumps for the driveway and garden. This particular wall lamp is a lot lighter than it looks, good job really as the backplate is plastic and feels a little flimsy. Does the job but I’d also like to see the screws and wall plugs included (unless mine were missing).

    I mounted this in place of an old standard wall lamp on the side of the house. Thankfully for a change, the swap was easy enough as the lamp coming out had the same brown and blue wires as this lamp does. Therefore you don’t need to be an electrician to install this. Simply isolate the fuse box for the area you’re working (in my case I turned off the switch to the downstairs lights), double check the light doesn’t work with the switch, then disconnect the old lamp (I marked the wires accordingly with which went to blue and which went to brown as the wires coming out of my wall did not match, typical 1940’s property!). Pop the rubber bung in the back plate and push the wires through the small hole you’ve cut out, screw the wires into the wiring block and mount the backplate to the wall. This doesnt have any holes drilled into it so you need to drill your own. I’d have prefered this to be made from a better firmer plastic if I’m totoaly honest as it’s the only elemnt that lets the product down. Once mounted to the wall you screw the bulb in and pop the light cover over and reinstall the top and bottom screws which are a bit awkward with their position dueo to the allen key style tool you’re given to put it back together with, the scrws are that close to the wall it just takes a little longer than taking them out when not on the wall.

    Once done, flick the switch on the fusebox, test at the wall and you’ll find all is good. Simply set up your Hue Bridge at this point or if you are already a Hue household then go to your app and add it. One thing to remember here is that you can create a new room, I created “Garden” and then called the device “Outside Light”, add the light to the group and you’re done.

    Do you want to control it with your voice? Simply do the same as you did with the Hue app but with your Alexa app and set up groups etc. simples…

    My disappointment is that installing this against a rendered wall it doesn’t fit flush. a rubber backplate would be better. Never the less it looks great and functions well. Now I’d like to see Hue E14 bulbs better priced, one single candelabra will cost 150 in lightbulbs!!!
