Philips Hue Inara E26 Smart Outdoor Wall Light

It took FOREVER to get these babies. I have Hue bridges and lights in every room, so why not attack front and rear outside. Double check the dimensions first. These are some of the largest outfoor lights you can purchase. I mean HUGE. I did not check the donensions because I never expected the light to be so large. So big in fact, I bought 3 and they came in 3 different boxes because they werw so big. I gave them a 4 because size was my fault. I should have checked. I am sure thwy are like all of the other HUE products and work well though. PS: If your placement is covered and not in direct way of rain, just use HUE bulbs in your existing units. Mine work great. So far, so good.

Really glad I purchased this porch light for my house as it does the job especially where I installed it which is on the side of the house. The light is very bright which is ideal to discourage the wrong type of people from trying to gain access to the backyard gate. I have indoor lights that are Phillips so adding this light to the hub was simple and creating a dusk to dawn schedule was even easier. The brightness adjustment feature is really nice however I don't use it to often. Phillips you did it again making this outdoor lantern easy from start to finish.

I love Hue Lights but this had really bad instructions on how to install. I'm not very handy but I can learn and have done lots of things in my house with watching or reading how to do it. The instructions were hard to follow since it's only pictures and no words to explain what to do. If you know how to install light fixtures, then you are fine. If this is your first time, like it was for me, it's a bit more frustrating. I had to watch YouTube videos and read about certain situations. Like the fixture and the house each had a ground wire, the picture was confusing of what it was trying to tell you. I understood after reading about splicing wires. Also, you would need to have wire connectors that this does not provide. Once it was installed, I love it. I switched out the original bulb and place in a Hue Color Bulb and no it looks even better. Good luck. I do need a second one now.
