Philips Hue Outdoor Lighting
Philips Hue outdoor lighting splits two ways: a 24 V low-voltage system you plug in and lay out yourself, and 240 V fixtures an electrician wires in. Both run alongside your indoor lights.
The low-voltage system
Lily spots and the Calla pedestal run at 24 V off a Hue outdoor power supply, in 40 W and 100 W sizes, with extension cables between them. One lead runs back to a powerpoint, and you can lay it out and change it yourself.
The hardwired fixtures
The Discover floodlight at 2,250 lm and the Impress and Appear wall lights at 1,180 lm are 240 V and hardwired, so they need a licensed electrician.
Weather ratings
The low-voltage spots are IP65, the wall lights and the floodlight are IP44, and the outdoor sensor is IP54. Our outdoor lighting page explains what those numbers mean; the short version is to put the higher-rated pieces where the weather actually lands.
Power budget
A 40 W supply runs a handful of 8 W spots. Buy the 100 W if you plan to extend the run later, and total the wattage of your fixtures before you choose.
Filter guide
Which protocol should I pick?
Protocols are the wireless languages smart devices use to talk to each other. Some need a hub, some run straight off your Wi-Fi. Here's what each one means for your setup.
-
Zigbee
Low-power meshThe cleanest mesh for a bigger setup. Every mains-powered device repeats the signal, so coverage grows as you add more. Needs a hub like a Hue Bridge or SmartThings.
-
Bluetooth
Direct, short-rangeGood for setup and close-range control from your phone. Range is short with no remote access on its own, so it's often paired with a hub or bridge.

Brightness guide
How much light do I need?
Brightness is measured in lumens, not watts. We've sorted globes into five bands so you can filter by how much light they actually put out, from a soft bedside glow to an outdoor floodlight. Here's what each band covers.
-
Standard
450 to 800 lm450 to 800 lumens, near a classic 60W globe. The everyday choice for a table lamp or a single-globe fitting in a bedroom, hallway or living room.
-
Bright
800 to 1500 lm800 to 1500 lumens, around a 75 to 100W globe. Proper room lighting for downlights, a bright pendant or the main light in a living area or kitchen.
-
Very bright
1500 to 3000 lm1500 to 3000 lumens of clear, high output for large or open-plan rooms, kitchens and task lighting. Often one fitting doing the work of several globes.

IP rating guide
What does the IP rating mean?
An IP rating tells you how well a light is sealed against dust and water. The first number covers dust, the second covers water, and higher is better on both. Here's what each one can handle.
- IP44 Splashproof
IP44
SplashproofHandles splashes from any direction, so it suits covered outdoor spots, bathrooms away from the shower, and laundries. Not for direct hosing or heavy rain.
- IP65 Dust-tight · water jets
IP65
Dust-tight · water jetsFully sealed against dust and handles low-pressure water jets, so it copes with open eaves, garden lighting and rain. A common choice for outdoor fittings.
- IP67 Dust-tight · brief immersion
IP67
Dust-tight · brief immersionFully sealed and survives brief immersion in water up to a metre deep, so it handles flooding-prone spots, pond edges and ground-level garden lights.

More about Philips Hue outdoor lighting
Choosing Philips Hue outdoor lighting.
Plan the run before you order
Work out where the supply sits, how far each fixture is from it, and what the total wattage comes to. Extension cables come in 2.5 m and 5 m, and a run that comes up short means another order and another wait.
Low voltage yourself, 240 V not
Lily, Calla and the outdoor strips plug together and need no electrician. The Discover floodlight and the Impress and Appear wall lights join your mains wiring and do.
Add the sensor, not just the lights
The outdoor motion sensor detects to 12 metres and is what turns a lit path into a path that lights as you arrive. It runs the automation on the Bridge, so it works without your phone.
