Super

Molto luminoso e di facile installazione

The light is expensive, but gives plenty of light in the garden. Easy to install

This lamp is super-easy to install. If you can match the colour of the leads coming out of the wall then you can install this lamp. Fastening it to the wall was also easy, but that of course will also depend on the wall material. It is strongly recommended to seal the lamp with silicone sealer. Mose silicone sealers are white but there are some black silicone sealers if you want to match it to the colour of the housing. You don't even need a gun. A finger and a cloth to wipe away excess is sufficient.Adding the lamp to the Hue app and bridge was very easy.This lamp is very adjustable - up/down, left/right. It can be flat-facing outwards or flat-facing downwards or anywhere in between and set off-angle right and left. You need an Allan wrench (included) to make the adjustments. I just keep the Allan wrench close by the lamp outside. If it disappears, I have plenty more.The lamp gets very bright if that's what you want or need. I use it as a flood light with the Philips Hue motion sensor to light up my back yard from dusk to dawn. For one thing it's good for when I go outside to grill dinner.The second good use-case is security. It lights up my entire back yard (granted, not a large one) but there's no off-switch for prowlers to hit (it's inside) and the motion sensor is tucked away so it's not obvious to anyone prowling where it is. The lamp cannot adjusted without the Allan wrench unless a lot of force is applied. It can't be pulled off the wall either without the application of a lot of force. And as it is with motion-activated lights, the prowler can never be certain if it's a motion sensor or the owner turning on the lights. Regardless, visibility is not something prowlers appreciate. The lights also make the quality of my security cameras, which do have night vision, even better.And the colors are fun too of course and the option is nice but the other characteristics of the lamp are what make it a winner.

Easy to install, light unit backing has 3 screw locations. If fixing to a wall you'll need to drill the wall to get the wire inside the building to a power source. Grommet provided in box to be cut to suit cable. There appears to be no side exit wire option, so to do that I would imagine you'd have to make your own access in the side of the lamp holder and also the lamp wire box itself. Not an issue for me but useful to know if you have external wire to feed the lamp.Once fitted, and once the outdoor sensor was fitted it was easy to sync with the Hue hub and program the light to my requirements.For brightness, using the whitest setting I could create, this is not bad for an LED lamp with the features it provides, but is certainly no brighter than a smaller type LED security lamp you can buy cheaply from most DIY chains. It still illuminates the garden ok but is not a security lamp ie for a full garden bright illumination. The endless choice of colours are great, and will make sitting outside in the summer a nicer experience for certain. The options for programming the lamo is the same as for all hue lights using the App. The Outdoor Motion Sensor provides settings for various sensitivities & variable daylight brightness sensing, which allows full control over when to turn the lamp on. Great for security as you can get the sensor to turn on an indoor hue light to a set colour for example if movement is sensed outside.Great lamp for garden atmosphere, general use at night, and the motion sensor beats any other sensor for programmability for security & usefeulness.
