Bought as a gift for a friend who never installed it, I’m sure it works fine!
Very pleased with all of my Philips Hue lights. Well made, look good and work well.
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!
Feel a bit plastic but once they are on the wall they look grea
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
for the record this product will require a qualified electrician to install them.. they do NOT come with a plug
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.
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.
