Great functionality but limited versatility
4/5
I invested in Philips Hue a few years ago so, when I extend my lighting setup, I feel committed. On the whole, I've not had many connectivity issues with Hue and I think that's because Hue lights require a dedicated bridge. Control of Hue lights via app or Alexa is pretty good.
These outdoor Hue lights do look good at night. I'm really pleased with them and like the way they integrate to my existing setup. What I don't like is that they are bulky. The transformer is bulkey, the wiring is bulky and the connecting wires cannot be shortened which means I've had to hide a lit of cable so it can't be seen. And the led strips only come in 2 or 5m lengths which made my 7.5m setup a bit tricky, and a bit expensive. Each strip comes with a transformer which would mean I'd have 3 transformers plugged in but in fact, a single 100W transformer does the job - so I bought one of them too.
Love the colours, control and reliability but versatility is lacking in terms of individual components you can buy.
