Our Philips Hue Outdoor Lights | Install and operation

[@DjSilish]

What’s the wifi range on the lights, I want them for my garden wall but it’s about 30metres from the house

[@moochstyle7110]

We have a wifi extender but the hub needs to be connected too so I guess it’s a trial and error with your phone to see how far your phone can reach wifi?

[@A4rings110]

Place one light in between your house and your garden to bridge the gap and you should be good to go. The hub will communicate to the light in the middle, and then that one will communicate to the lights in your garden

[@TheTacticalHaggis]

You don't need one. Zigbee uses other devices as a range extenders.

[@anthonyross3957]

The bulbs are not replaceable correct?

[@moochstyle7110]

They are LED So you shouldn’t have but they also aren’t replaceable

How many 100w power supplies did you use for 10 lights?

My outdoor hue light strips discolored. Have you experienced that. Tried several things to clean it.

[@moochstyle7110]

What do you mean by discoloured? Do you mean the external casing? If so no I haven’t. It could be to do with the amount of sunlight hitting them depending where you are?

How much does your home cost?

[@FlightSimNZ]

Great video! Nice to see some inspiration for my own install. Any idea what NZ retailer has a swandri similar to yours? Cheers

[@moochstyle7110]

Thanks! Yep this is called the high rock pull over, available online and in stores at pgg Wrightson

[@amyd46]

This was so helpful. Thank you!

[@moochstyle7110]

Oh thanks! So glad you enjoyed

I hate it when I trip on my "Deck".

[@calypsohandjack9278]

I use mine for jump rope.

[@moochstyle7110]

Haha gotta love that kiwi accent

[@moochstyle7110]

I use mine for tug of war

[@tubbz08gaming56]

How has the system gone with the cables being put underground? Did you do anything extra to protect the system? Great set up

[@moochstyle7110]

Heya. It’s been a year now and no issues at all. The cables are all weather proof so no worries putting them under the soil

[@BigBlueRabbit]

Does just the initial power adapter have to be on wi-fi to control all the lights? Or does each light need to have access to wi-fi? Thanks.

[@moochstyle7110]

Once you have the hue bridge turned on all lights then connect. Mine aren’t in wifi range but I connected them via my phone that was

[@BigBlueRabbit]

@@moochstyle7110 Great to know - thanks for answering 👍🏻

[@vb89nz]

Hey mate do you have an outdoor power point or did you run it inside?

[@moochstyle7110]

We had an out door power unit installed for this one

[@jamesgreensmith2587]

How many lights did you use in total to light your whole backyard.

[@moochstyle7110]

10 in total :)

[@nathanhippenmeyer5366]

@moochstyle7110 Assuming you were in two different outlets then?

[@Jake-lq3py]

Great stuff

[@faisal181]

That looks good I may have to go that route. I have some hue here I only had huge issues getting there base station to work with HomeKit (in fact it never would work)

[@moochstyle7110]

hmmmm coulkd it be faulty? Mine connected instantly

[@dennisl.5169]

1000 Follower und Philips Sponsored you?!

[@moochstyle7110]

Yep and 44k views on the video. We have other social media channels with much larger followings just fyi :)

[@beatriceguzman8279]

Less features, compatibility, brightness and an outdated app all for a huge markup. Yeah sounds like a bargain….NOT!

[@moochstyle7110]

Not sure what more features you need from a light.

[@jeagle215]

Great video. One question though. When you say "dick" does it sound like "deck" ? 😉

[@moochstyle7110]

Hahahaha where are you from? My New Zealand accent is doing me dirty 😂

[@jeagle215]

​@@moochstyle7110UK. I love the accent, never lose it 😁
