Appear Outdoor Wall Light
Colour-changing light for a front door, porch or exterior wall, wired straight into your mains supply with no separate power pack to run.
Everything you need to know
A mains-powered outdoor wall light that throws bi-directional beams up and down the wall for full white and colour ambiance. It rates IP44 against splashing rain, spans 2000–6500K plus 16 million colours, and connects over Zigbee and Bluetooth. Add the Hue Bridge to unlock schedules, automations and control from anywhere.
Product features
No transformer to hide
The Appear wires straight into 220–240 V mains, so there is no low-voltage power supply to buy or find a spot for. That makes it a clean swap for an existing wall light. Leave the hard-wiring to a licensed electrician.
Full white and colour
White and colour ambiance gives you the whole 2000–6500K white range for everyday light and 16 million colours when you want the facade to read differently. Two light sources throw bi-directional beams up and down the wall, up to 1180 lumens at 4000K.
Built for a wet wall
An IP44 rating protects the Appear against rain and splashing from any direction, so it holds up on an exposed or covered wall through an Australian summer downpour. It pairs over Zigbee and Bluetooth; add the Hue Bridge for schedules and sunset automations.
The Philips Hue system
Hue is a system, not just a smart bulb. Every Hue product, from bulbs and lamps to light strips and fixtures, joins the same Zigbee mesh and shows up in one app. A single bulb bought today slots straight into a whole-home setup later.
Bulbs, lamps, strips & fixtures
All speak Zigbee and mesh with each other, so every light you add extends the network's reach.
One Bridge runs the whole home
Runs up to 50 lights off your router, and connects Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings.
App, voice & switches
One app for rooms, scenes and schedules, plus dimmers, buttons and sensors that work without a phone.
Start with one light Start here
Add your first Hue light, open the Hue app, and control up to 10 lights in one room over Bluetooth. No hub required.
Add the Hue Bridge When you're ready
Run up to 50 lights, control them from anywhere, set schedules and automations, and connect your voice assistant.
Start small, scale up. Everything you buy today keeps working when you add the Bridge, and everything Hue has made since 2012 still joins the same system.
