There's a new set of Philips Hue lights available in the US, specifically designed for use outdoors. The Impact series were previously only available
in Europe, but they're now getting a wider launch, so you can use them to add a dash of light and color to your yard.
As Fabian of fan site Hueblog.com explains, the Philips Hue Impress series comprises three weather-resistant lights to brighten up your garden: the Impress Outdoor Wall Light, Impress Wide Outdoor Wall Light, and Impress Pedestal Light.
All three are fitted with Philips Hue White & Color Ambiance bulbs, meaning you can set them to white light at a color temperature of your choice, or
take your pick from 16 million RGB colors. You can use them on their own, or as part of a larger Hue setup. You can install the low-voltage Philips Hue Impress Pedestal Light anywhere in your yard using the spike on the bottom (Image credit: Philips Hue) Make a good impression
The standard Impress Outdoor Wall Light (priced at $159.99) is the only one
of the set that's designed to be hard-wired into the wall so there are no visible exterior cables. It contains two Hue White & Color Ambiance bulbs,
and its case measures 9.4 x 6.1 x 5 inches.
The Impress Wide Outdoor Wall Light ($179.99) is a low-voltage light that's designed to be easy to install and extend yourself without the help of an electrician. As the name suggests, it's the larger of the two wall-mounted fixtures, measuring 11.7 x 6.8 x 8 inches.
The Impress Pedestal Light ($189.99) is another low-voltage unit that you can safely install yourself, and is held in place with a spike so you can
position it anywhere you like outdoors. Its dimensions are 15.7 x 3.9 x 3.9 inches.
All three require a Philips Hue Bridge , which creates a mesh network that connects all your Hue lights, switches, sensors and cameras to your home
Wi-Fi network, and to each other. You might also like See why we named the Philips Hue system the best smart lights around Got Philips Hue lights? A
