Somerset, New Jersey – Philips Lighting (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, today announced the first products in its highly anticipated Philips Hue outdoor range, available for purchase this summer in the United States. Consumers can extend their Philips Hue smart lighting experience to any outdoor area, from the driveway and the front door to their backyard, with the new line of light bulbs, wall-mounted fixtures, low-voltage spots and path lights. 

“The new Philips Hue outdoor line of products allows our customers to get so much more out of their exterior lighting, and simplify and enhance their homes and lives,” said Roger Karner, head of Market US at Philips Lighting. “Adjust or automate the lighting to welcome you home, light your path as you attend to housework and have greater peace of mind over your home’s security. You can also select one of 16 million light colors to elevate your home’s look or create the perfect outdoor ambiance, whether you’re just relaxing or hosting family and friends for a barbeque.” 

A single system to light your home smarter – inside and out 
Designed to be easy to install, the Philips Hue outdoor range works seamlessly with the rest of the products in the Philips Hue smart lighting family. Simply add the outdoor lighting products to the Philips Hue bridge to extend your system and customize the lighting as you wish in the Philips Hue app. You have ultimate control over your outdoor lighting, too; in addition to the Philips Hue app, ask your voice assistant to adjust the lights.  

Designed for your convenience and to give you peace of mind
