Philips
Although I have Philips Hue lights in practically every room in my house, I would never have thought of installing them outdoors. Then I came across the Philips Hue Outdoor Spotlights Kit, which contains three colored spotlights and all the hardware you need for the installation. It turns out that the installation is pretty easy; Each lamp is connected in series and you don’t have to bury the wires or hire an electrician. Only the first light needs to be within range to communicate with your Philips hub. The others can be lined up as far as your cabling allows. Usually $ 340 that The three-pack Philips Hue Outdoor Spotlights currently costs $ 270.
This kit, which is $ 70 cheaper, includes the Hue Lily White and Color lights. With the Hue app, Alexa or Google Assistant you can set them to white tones or 16.7 million colors. They are obviously completely weatherproof. because they are designed as outdoor lights. The hue hub is not included. I suspect Philips is assuming that you already have Hue interior lights. The lights themselves can be stuck in the floor or rest on a flat surface like your porch or deck.
The light has a solid four-star rating on Amazon and most customer comments are very positive. However, keep in mind the following: due to some customer reviews with lower ratings, you should not expect your garden to be flooded with lighting that is bright enough to illuminate a prison yard.
Look at that:
