Philips Hue Lucca E26 Smart Outdoor Wall Light

I upgraded my old "lamp" style outdoor fixtures to these modern ones. The bad: They are made of plastic, and not particularly heavy or solid. I understand why the price is less than some of the other options, as they seem very thin and basic. The installation instructions were not very good, and I spent a lot of time trying to decipher the pictures. I dropped/lost one screw, and there aren't any extras included. Also, Philips wont send replacement screws. The good news is that I got the fixtures on. They give my home a modern look. I like the look. Also, the included E26 white bulb is easily replaced with a color version (sold separately).

My Hue outdoor lantern is what I needed for my front porch. Easy access via my GOOGLE MINI and GOOGLE ASSISTANT, I can program its hours of operation; on at dusk, off at dawn. I’ve had porch lights with motion detectors, but after a few months, the motion detection features always have failed on me. So, it was manually turn on, and manually turn off, and that’s if I remember!! No longer the case now. The light bulb is not easily accessible so no one can unscrew the light bulb. Add to that my RING DOORBELL 2 security which records nite time activity around my porch, my porch light has great illumination...

Decent build quality. Good instructions. Bit tricky to install, might need a second set of hands. Bulbs inside had intermittent connectivity, updating their firmware via the Hue app seems to have fixed the issues. Colored bulbs DO work inside this, but depending on the color you choose, it might be a bit too dim for your liking. I did a dark orange for Halloween, and I do wish it was a smidge brighter.. but until Hue makes a 100watt equivalent colored bulb, not much I can do for now. Bestbuy: please carry more of these at the store. I needed 3, and there were only 2 in the entire city.
