Philips Hue Calla Add-On Smart Outdoor Pathway Light - Multi-colour

It’s a beautiful light, but this was a replacement for an identical one that unexpectedly “died” after not quite 3 years. Lifespan for things outside 24/7 can be rough, especially in New England (where normal outside temperatures routinely go outside this product’s operating range, especially in the winter.) I think you will have the longest life and most satisfaction with this product if you live in a temperate area with more moderate winters (semi-random Texas blizzards excepted). Otherwise, roll the dice, and hope it lasts (or be willing to shell out for a replacement).

I added two of these flanking my front porch walkway to light the brick path. Setup was easy. I have them wired on a line with other Hue outdoor uplights. The cables and transformer connections are the same. My only complaint is that after 12 months of use, it looks like the white plastic lens areas are very slightly yellowed. I would need a new one to place side by side to be certain. I hope that this does not continue to the point of being unsightly. They still look good at this time.

Now have three bollards and six spot lights. Simple and easy to set up. Confusing though as to maximum distance - one leaflet says 35 m and another shows three with maximum of 20 m between. Would like range to be larger than 35m! Big upgrade from the low voltage lighting we had previously and the ability to link to Homekit and automation rules is a big plus. Will be interested to see how they cope with the winter.
