Lily Outdoor Spotlight, Base unit, 3 Pack

I've relied on solar lights for my garden for years. They're great in summer, but worthless in winter when you really want that dark space lighting up. I'd started investing in Hue Smart Lights in the house, so the move to installing them outdoors was a natural progression. We took a deep breath and spent a decent lump of money on 6 spotlights bought as two seperate base units (see later) and two extension pedestals, . They were dead easy to instal. We followed the advice of others and set them up on the Hue app simply by plugging them all together indoors (and thus making sure they all worked). We created 2 seperate "zones" to put them in (ie 3 spots and 1 pedestal in each). Then, we just disconnnected them and reconnected them outside. Now spread around the garden, they look fabulous at night and the option to create different colours on a "per bulb" basis is just a lovely addition. Cabling is simple to connect from our outdoor electric sockets. It now needs us to just move them around, over time, to highlight the different parts of our garden that we want to. We also bought an additional 5 meter extension cable, but this is unecessary. The spotlights come with 3 x 5metre lengths, so you have plenty of cable to work with. And, there is enough cable from the plug to the first light to ensure there is no need to buy extra cable. Note that these lights do need a Hue Bridge (connected via eternet cable to the wifi router) to make them work. Note also that you must purchase at least one "base" unit as that includes the plug and transformer. In the case of our purchase, the two pedestals were classed as "extensions" and, again, come with plenty of cabling but, as extensions, do not include the plug and transformer. I really like the fact that, once you've made the commitment, it is extremely easy to add lights to the maximum allowed "per cable from the plug" by Hue. That is 5 lights or 35 metres of cable. So, we're nearly at the maximum unless we add more base units, but as it stands right now, I doubt we'll need to worry. The lighting is bright enough to create good effects, although once you move into colours rather than white, the power of the light is definitely less. But, that is, I think, a good thing as surely use of colours is more for effect than you may use white light for? I'm very happy to give these a 5 star rating. It's unfair, as some have done, to mark them down because they're expensive (which they undoubtedly are). As with everything, you get what you pay for and if these bulbs last for the expected 6 or 7 years, then I think the annual cost is quite acceptable.

I'm really impressed with the Philips Hue Lily spotlights. The build quality feels strong and durable, and they look very sleek in the garden. Installation was easy with the included stakes and mounts — I had them set up and connected to my Hue Bridge in no time. The lighting itself is beautiful: bright enough to highlight trees and garden features, with smooth colour changes and a wide choice of scenes in the Hue app. The lights are weatherproof too, and they've handled the rain and wind in Scotland without any issues. One thing to note is that you do need a Hue Bridge to get the full smart control, but if you already have Hue products at home, it fits in perfectly. Overall, a fantastic outdoor lighting solution that really elevates the look of my garden — highly recommend!

This is a great addition to any hue set up, it is amazing how much these little lights transform the back garden and it looks so magical just with the three units. It is really easy to set up and install - just need to ensure you have a power source and you are good to go. You only need one power outlet as these connect together in a chain on the one power source. I found them to be really bright and not sure on some of the other reviews...they add accent lighting and do this really well, when on the full bright white they do throw off a lot of light and much more than i was expecting based upon some of the reviews. Another review notes that you can not control this from outside the home which is incorrect - as with all the hue products, if you have you hub enabled for out of home control you can control these lights when away from you wifi network - i can confirm that this works and works the same way as all other Hue lighting. Another quick tip, you can connect a maximum of 5 of these light units into the one power source...any more than this and you need to get a new base set with the power supply. This was confirmed to me by Hue and in the instructions - it is to do with the low power and the long cables used. The set contains everything you need to get started with a 5m cable per light and the power source too - word of warning, once you get these you will want more! They are great and transform the outdoor space!

Expensive, but worth every pence,

But with that said, they are bulletproof Philips quality and reliability. I know i could have probably looked elsewhere for cheaper, but with these i now have 48 bulbs so am pretty invested in the system. these coupled with a couple of light cubes i think look spot on. I use homeseer server to stagger the colour looping so they all slowly rotate through different colours and pretty much as the light cubes do. i love the effect in the garden. I also do think that these need to be much brighter. but i am pretty happy with the result, but i should be as it has nearly cost £1000 to light my garden. but as long as they last and are as reliable as my internal bulbs it is money well spent IMHO

Cannot go wrong with these. I eventually Purchased 4 packs of these at different times as they are expensive but worth every penny. Lights up the back garden immensely.

I purchased these a few years ago and they were excellent until Philips Hue updated the hub, since then the lights will not work , tried searching for the lights using the App but still no joy, even using the serial numbers on each light, very disappointed

We’ve had a set of the larger Lily XL lights for over a year now but when I spotted the smaller version at almost half RRP on Amazon recently, I treated myself to a set. I have to say that they are more discrete and sleek than the XL version and though not as bright, are still plenty bright enough. I would probably choose these over the XL as the extra output isn’t worth the bulk in my opinion. We have a whole house and garden full of hue kit and on the whole we are very happy with it. Yes it’s pricey, but you are paying for the build quality and reliability…it all just works seamlessly.

Adds oustanding colour to the garden

J'ai commandé ce produit sur Amazon France, mais la prise est au format UK. Je demande un échange à Amazon depuis 2 mois, aucune réponse de leur part malgré 3 relances!!!

Super ärgerlich, dass das Produkt einen UK-Netzstecker besitzt. Selbst für erfahrene Amazon-Besteller in der Artikelbeschreibung nicht ersichtlich. Einen zusätzlichen Adapter für den Außeneinsatz zu verwenden würde eine zusätzliche Feuchtigkeitsschwachstelle bedeuten, die nicht zu empfehlen ist. Dann könnte man ja auch gleich Billigware kaufen.

I love my hue lights but was disappointed to open the product to only find the power adapter was from Singapore.

Bonjour, Attention, ma note ne reflète pas le produit en lui même. En effet, je n'ai pas pu le tester car l'alimentation est prévue pour une prise anglaise. Ce n'est pas une prise française. Aucun problème pour le retour via Amazon. Simplement, méfiance si vous commandez
