Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have 11 spots along with two Bollards for front landscape lights. The quality and ease of installation is very high. Lights are made of steel and cabling quick connects are simple to get things going. A couple of pictures are attached to show neat themes that can be done such as 4th of July, and the other is sports team based. Of course the many color combinations make it easy to do many things for multiple events and holidays. If I could give 4.5 starts I would do so as I feel this are right at excellent, but to get there need just a few tweaks by Philips. Those Include: 1. Price is often mentioned and I agree. It would be great to see about 20% lower than current price. Based on what I've seen occur with other Hue products, I would expect that to occur in 6 months or so, at least in the form of temporary sale price. 2. To my knowledge, all connectivity cables are 16 feet. That's great to know that you have some good distance to get to next in line, but my counter to that is it means there are many connections with a great deal of bulk. Therefore I would love to see Philips put in two 8 foot lengths that could be connected together. As they lay in landscape beds, it can take a bit to make it look nice and concealed. 3. It could be that I'm right at 50 total lights on my bridge, but the two lights I have at very end of line seem to drop out of connectivity at times. Never both, but sometimes one or the other. 4. This could be more application based, but a little simpler interface on Hue would be nice. I actually find using Amazon Alexa a little easier for basic lighting changes.

These are great outdoor spotlights. They are well made and were super easy to set up and use. I have only two things I wish were improved. 1) I wish the cords in between the spotlights were a little longer. This set comes with extension cables, but these are very long. 2) When using the colors the spotlight does not project as far as some may need. (The white light projects very far.) This can be negated/overcome by where you place the lights. We used this set to light up our water feature/waterfall and it looks amazing! I have attached a few pictures, but they don’t do it justice. These lights get splashed very lightly by the waterfall and it has rained several days. The lights haven’t had any issues with the water. I say these are worth it.

I’m really happy with these! Made a huge difference in my yard. Nice thick cables, although I do wish they were just a little longer in box without having to buy extensions. I hate paying the premium of hue lighting, but it’s a great system.

I had been watching these ever since they came out. Finally pulled the trigger to purchase these. This was my first experience with Hue family. I have 10 of these lights for installed front of the house. I wish we were able to add more lights per transformer. Light housing is well made. Lights are not as bright as I wanted it to be, especially when using colors. Over all i am satisfied so far. I also wish the price was little cheaper.

I was looking for a good outdoor lighting system that was energy efficient, easy to manage and easy to install. I decided to try out these new lights and was so glad that I made the investment. The kit itself is a little on the pricey side and without a "Hue Bridge" it would not be worth it. However if you do have a "Hue Bridge" then this purchase is completely worth it ! Pros: Cord Length, connectors and quality (double insulated) Light fixture / Metal Base Metal Yard Spike's Energy Efficient Light bulb lifespan (25k hours) Dust / Jetting water protection Cons: Starter Kit does NOT include Hue Bridge Bulbs themselves not replaceable (Have to replace whole fixture unit) Additional Cable is expensive Installation:: The install was extremely simple, the cables are very long, the connections are one way only so you cant connect them backwards and the connect / twist method ensures a water tight seal. My favorite was the light fixture itself had a metal base and metal spikes. They even greased the screws to prevent corrosion. That little extra showed me they really care about their product ! Plug it in and it turns on, no Hue Bridge is needed, however without one you loose 90% of the functionality. **(Hue Bridge Users)** For those who have a Hue Bridge, no need to worry about distance, the initial light can be up to 50ft away then every light after that bounces off the previous light in the chain. This way the Hue Bridge can see the farthest light without issue. I actually have the Hue Bridge on the opposite side of my house and it was still able to see all the lights. So if you worry about distance there is no need. They have amazingly long range. Functionality:: *Note Must have Hue Bridge* If you do not have one, you are limited to plug in to turn on and unplug to turn off. However if you have a Hue Bridge you are able to set a timer of when to have the lights go on at night / turn off in morning. You are also able to set which "Scene" or color ambient to have the light set to. My favorite is the ability to have GPS enabled on your phone so the light turns on when you get home. The added bonus is you are able to play with your lights even when not at home via the Phillips Hue app. Overall I would recommend this product if you with to have great energy efficient outdoor lights and wide range of control over them. The catch is you must have a Hue Bridge, otherwise they are just overpriced outdoor lights.

We just installed this set of 3 Hue outdoor spotlights near our pool. The quality of the lights themselves seems very nice and by appearance they look as though they will hold up to the outside elements well. The system is Wet Location rated so no fear of nearby sprinkler systems. This lighting system could be called "plug and play" since one simply has to connect the three spotlights together with the supplied cable and then plug into a power supply. To complete, then add each spotlight to the Hue bridge using the Hue app. We did need to process an update via the app for each of the spotlights which took a litlle bit of time fo process. There are a few things to note. One, consider where you are going to get your power supply to plug into since Philips does not recommend the use of extendsion cords. We added an outdoor rated receptable box near the point of use to minimize the sight of power cords. Philips instruction diagrams recommend indoor lights be within 32' of each other and outdoor lights be within 64' of each other to communicate with the Hue bridge. Each light is roughly 16' apart with the provided low voltage cable and one can buy additional 16' lengths of cable to exend this distance. We burtied all low voltage cable with the exception of the "T" connections that Philips advises not to bury. The Philips Hue app gives the user many options to control the led lights. One can set timers and routines for specific times or sunset to sunrise. The lights can be set for white or a very large selection of custom colors/scenes or to preset scenes provided in the app by Philips. It is a fun lighting system to change the environment to set it to the mood or the party atmosphere. The lights can be bright or dimmed for various effects. We are very happy with the results. My one suggestion to Philips would be to provide better, more detailed videos of how to use features in the Hue app. Also, one page on Phiips website had links to support videos that did not work. The link was no longer valid.

Yes I love how you can change the colors, I change them all the time Based on my mood. ;)

I've been a Hue customer for years and while I've used the portable Hue Go outside in the past, it's not rated for outdoor use and I had to be careful not to get it wet. I'm happy to finally see some official outdoor options from Hue. The setup process for these lights are fairly straight-forward, but the IKEA-style instructions can be a little bit confusing as the numbered steps actually show two different mounting options. I decided to push them into the ground which involved removing the pre-installed wall brackets and hand screwing them into the pointed base and then sticking them in the ground. There are two 3-prong adapters included that allows you to run the power cord from either end. The heavy cords and metal construction appear very weather-resistant, but only time will tell. I've had a few thunderstorms come through since they've been in place and they are still working fine. Once I had the lights placed outside where I liked them, I connected the power cord to an outlet and opened up the Hue app on my phone. It took about 4 minutes for all 3 lights to be discovered by the app. I placed the new lights in a new "room" titled "outside" so I can tell Siri to simply, "Turn on the outside lights". I have the lights shining up the banisters and they do a great job illuminating my front porch at night. They get plenty bright and could probably serve as a spotlight to light up the yard if so desired. I actually dim them to about 25%-30% to get a comfortable evening glow. I set them to blue, red and white for the Fourth of July and they looked great for the holiday. I'm already planning color schemes to use for Halloween and Christmas. As with other Hue bulbs, the Hue app can be used to set different colors and scenes, as well as scheduling them to come on at a certain time each evening. Overall, I'm very happy with the look of these lights and I'm happy to have some Hue lighting options for outdoor use now.

Pros: - Nice design - Easy to setup - New easy-to-use app design Cons: - More cable length options - White color overpowering when compared to other colors I got these spotlights right before July 4th and they helped my family celebrate the holiday from our balcony – see the picture! These complemented and integrated with my existing Philips Hue system easily. The setup was straight forward and the wiring was a piece of cake – though I wish there were options for shorter cables as I had a lot of slack left over in my configuration. There are two options for mounting – either a flat base with screws which lets you secure them to a surface or a stake for putting them in a garden or yard. The enclosures of the lights are simple and understated – painted in a great looking matte black. All of the cables are weatherproof screw terminals and they are easy to configure. The kit comes with a single power supply that all the lights daisy chain into making for a straight forward setup. After plugging the lights in and going to the Hue app it found them immediately. Each of the lights has an output rated to 600 lumens – which I think is good enough for accenting plants or in my case, splashing light up the walls of my balcony. When you have the lights set to multiple colors including white – the white can be a little overpowering compared to the other colors in terms of brightness, though this can be fixed by turning the brightness down to even it out. It would be nice to see this more dialed in for a consistent look across all the lights. From the app I was able to setup a routine that turns the lights to a particular color palette at sunset and off at sunrise – there are also routines that turn the lights on and off based on your location, which makes it very easy to customize your experience. Overall, this is a great kit and it was super easy to setup. Easy to recommend to anybody who already has a Hue setup and it looking to move it to the outside! If you don’t have a hue setup and are looking for a new outdoor light system with easy setup and internet connected perks this will make a great choice.

The Hue outdoor lights are simply fantastic! I have hue lights throughout my home, and I love them. The ability to control the lights with your phone, Alexa, Siri, Google, ect is enough by itself to warrant a purchase. Throw in the fact that they can literally change to any color you can think of makes it a slam dunk! Our Halloween party was a smash! I have been waiting for the Hue Lilly to come out since early spring after getting an email from Hue announcing them. I am so pleased with them. It is great to have the house lit up, and the trees in the front yard. I love the functions that are capable; being able to dim them, set a timer for on and off, have them come on when you get home, change the color to light up the house for different occasions. They really are awesome! Do not hesitate to buy them! They are worth every penny, and much better than the boring ordinary low-voltage lights you see at Lowes, or another home improvement store. In fact you can have them look exactly like those if you want, or change it to any color variation you want! The one thing that I would like for everyone to be aware of is that the low-voltage cables that are used with these lights are not like the traditional cables for low-voltage. These cables are much thicker, and have a proprietary connection for Hue. I say all this to let you know you will most likely need extender cables if you plan on putting lights out by trees or on the other side of the house. The lights must be plugged into an extender cable (included) then into a splitter (included) connecting to the next light, and finally into the low-voltage box which plugs into an outdoor outlet. If you are going to put lights on the opposite side of the house you might be better off buying 2 sets of this package so you can get an extra low-voltage box. I bought an extra set for 2 reasons: I needed the extra lights, and I did not want to run the cable under the drive way. With the extra box I was able to just plug the left side of the house lights into it, and not worry with the hassle of burying under the drive way. I purchased a total of 6 lights, and to put them where I wanted them I needed 4 extra (not included) cable extenders. Just be prepared if you are trying to space the lights out. Overall, I am extremely pleased with these lights. I am so glad that Hue came out with an outdoor light! Buy them you will not be disappointed!

I've been using Philips Hue lights around the house for years now. The ability to voice control my lights is fantastic. This new addition to the Philips Hue range, the Lily Outdoor lights is a great extension to an already versatile line of lights and accessories. The lights, casing and cabling are all made to a high standard and appear to be very durable. The housings are black coated aluminum, the 3 cables are heavy-duty with 2 watertight 3-way connectors. I took the products out of the boxes and put them together. They come with either wall mountable bases (installed from the factory) or extended ground spikes. I assembled the two-piece ground spikes and removed the wall mountable bases. Plugged the lights into the wall and they turn on automatically. Next, you will need to open your Philips Hue app and connect them to your Philips Hue Hub (a hub is not included in this base kit). The user manual has little stickers on it with the serial no's of the three lights in the kit to make it a lot easier to connect the lights to the hub. When you add the light (by tapping on the 'add light' button in the app) you can choose to type in the serial no of each bulb as you add them. When they are added they flash to confirm they are connected. From there, you can adjust the color of each light individually. You can use the pre-determined scenes, or you can choose your own combination from 16 million colors. I chose to create 'Christmas' - with two green and one red light, 'Easter' - with two blue and one pink light, 'Halloween' - with two orange and one yellow, '4th of July' - with one red, one white and one blue, and finally 'Evil'(!) created by my 7 year old son - with two red and one orange light! The possibilities are endless with the color options, have fun with them! You can transition between your personal settings and the pre-determined scenes as well. I've also set up a dusk till dawn timer for them within the Philips Hue app, so that I never have to worry if they are on or off at the times I want them to be. That is a nice piece of mind feature within the app. I hadn't used that feature before as all of my previous Hue lights were simply and on or off state on demand, not a pre-set schedule. My only issue I had with the bulbs (hence the 4 stars and not 5) is that one of them sometimes had a mind of it's own, and would turn on in a color of it's choice, not the choice that I had set up or the pre-determined scene either. For example, 'Tropical Twilight' will show up with two peach colored lights and a purple, or my own 'Christmas' scene would show up with one white, one red and one green. Simply put, one of the bulbs would forget what color it was supposed to be. Resetting the bulb back to 'Bright' and then re-choosing the scene you wanted seemed to correct the issue most of the time. The connectivity of the app to the bridge to the bulbs outside, so far appears to be robust and works very well. I'm really pleased overall with the Philips Hue Lily lights and they are a great addition to the outside of my house. My neighbors have already commented on the new lights outside my house and aim to purchase some in the near future!

These lights are simple, but they do what they are designed to do very well. Setup is easy, with the exception of burying the cables. Build quality: Great. Made out out of all metal, rather than plastic like I was expecting. Features: Two mounting options: stake into the ground, or mounting plate with screws. Using the app, you can create whatever kind of light you want. Change the color and brightness of each lamp individually and create scenes that are easily recallable. Only downside is I wish the cables were longer, especially from the power box. Trying to find an outlet available nearby has proven difficult.

These lights came in a box, where the weight said ‘these things are no joke.” Well, they aren’t. I was shocked to see that the weight was for all of the pieces that WERE NOT the lights; heavy duty transformer and thick AF cables. A quick glance into the lights showed so many LEDs that I expect some good color with accuracy to the wheel. I must say that my man card was revoked during the assembly, as I was forced to reference the documentation to connect all three lights together while testing in my home, prior to moving them outside. Once assembled, I applied power and went into the Hue App (which was already installed), as I already had fifteen lights (bulbs/strips/etc) before adding these into the mix. I searched for new lights and one-by-one, the new lights Hue Outdoor Spotlights 1-3 appeared. I created a new room “Deck” and added them to the room. Once added, I merged the lights into one (via the color wheel) and controlled them as a single color. I also gave the pre-configured scenes a whirl, and they tuned each spotlight as I’d expect (given so many colored Hue lights in the house already). Then, for the 4th, I lit them up Red White & Blue! Then, I popped over to my Google Home app and unlinked / relinked my Philips Hue app to allow Google to know about “Deck” and allow voice control. I interrupted Hirie and Eric Rachmany killing it in “Sun and Shine” and my Google Assistant powered JBL Link 20 (from Best Buy) responded. “Turn off Deck” I spoke and ‘poof’ I was in the dark; “turn on Deck” then allowed me to continue on with my messing around. So easy and so responsive; both the App and GH integration. After about 24-hours, an update was available for the lights & it took around 15 minutes; no issues encountered. If you want to add some outside mood lighting while entertaining, this is the way to go.

I’ve been eagerly waiting for my Hue Lily Spot Lights to arrive. High quality and easy installation, I received last night and installed it within 20 minutes. Box came with everything required to setup those spot lights. Once the lights are setup you conly need to run Philips Hue app on ypr smart phone to search for a new light and BOOM! Done! I played coupld minutes with changing colors its so beautiful feature.

I love my Philips Hue lights! I was excited to get these Lily Spots installed and see how they worked! They were super easy to install and the wires/connectors worked great! I had ample length of cable to reach my outlet, as well as put some distance in between the lights as you can see from the pictures. I use the "Other Routine" function, and have all of my Hue lights come on at a specific time in the evening, and some shutoff around 1 AM while others - like the driveway lights - stay on all night. Very easy to build rooms and routines like this. For the Lily product, I decided to keep them shining up onto the rock pillars - again seen in the pics. My only wish is that they would come on to a preset color or maybe an option to come on based on the last color selected. Right now, they all come on in a white mode. I'll dig into that further. Otherwise - these are rock stars! I've received several compliments from my neighbors on them and probably sold a few sets. That seems to happen often with the technology I use. If you are looking to add outdoor lighting - these are so much better than the cheap solar lights and you can customize the colors at any time!

The lights them self are great, very sturdy, and bright. They were easy to install and is convenient with the hue app. However, setting timers is difficult and there is not as much variation as you would expect from the vary high price. It is also inconvenient if you need 6 lights to purchase another starter kit.

I love these lights. Along with this three pack I loved them so much I bought four more to light up additional areas of our home and gardens. They work great and I love that you can schedule them for on/off so it’s basically set it and forget it. I even set up an IFTTT so that when my favorite sports teams come on it changes to the team colors. Hue hit a homerun with these.

I dropped a star because these things are so dang expensive. I've got a set on sale so with the fact that I love the Hue Lights I decided to get a set. I would buy more but at $100 a light basically it will take some time to get the amount that I want. With all that said, they are very easy to setup and work/look great. I have them hidden behind bushes, etc... shooting up on my house and being able to change the colors is awesome. I have them come on at sunset and go off at sunrise which is perfect. I do recommend these as they seem to be high quality and work great but I do think they are over priced and I won't buy them at regular price.

Overall, this is an amazing product. Set up was very easy and they look great. I have had a few issues getting the sunrise/sunset time feature to work in the app but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Expensive but worth it.

The spotlight is an excellent product. Heavy duty and easy to install. The power and the light isn’t the greatest in regards to brightness, but gets the job done. It illuminates the spot section. Just want everyone to understand, if you have a tall palm tree, it will light the trunk and surroundings, but will not reach the top branches. Other than that, I highly recommend for all other types of spotlighting.
