Philips Hue Indoor/Outdoor Holiday 130-Foot Festavia String Lights - 500 Mini Color Changing Smart LEDs - Weatherproof - Control with Hue App - Works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit

Got a set for a outdoor holiday booth. Worked great, thought they would work via wi-fi, they do not. Had to run home an pull my hub. Once that was in place these were fantastic. Had them synced to the sound of the bands (automatically) and programed the color schemes by had (which only took a couple of minutes). Non-stop compliments and really helped attract attention to the holiday festival I bought them for.

These aren't cheap but I like that they can be used for a variety of ways throughout the year, not just during Christmas season.

Awesome!!These light are so cool!IThey have all kinds of different settings that you can control with your phone!You can set them to come on and off when you want !They have a these different colors !I love them!!!

Obsessed. Loved adding these to my Phillips hue collection.

We bought these lights for our Christmas tree so do not plan to use outdoors. Every day we pick a different color combination and design effect so it is super fun. Our tree is 7.5 ft tall and we bought the 500 light set. We also linked it to Amazon Alexa so can control it either via the Hue app or Alexa.

Great lights and operate exactly as you'd expect if you're familiar with Hue products, their durability, and integration capabilities. You won't be surprised there.I had two main complaints with these lights, one of which has been improved on recently.1) App: Very lacking lighting effects. Until just very recently, there were only 2-3 options (e.g., candle, fireplace). These were very basic with limited customization (e.g., they were white light only, no modification of colors). If you bought these for lights on your tree and wanted multi-colored lights, static multi-color is all you could do. No multi-color sparkle or movement. Just this last week they've added more options. 10 different effect types with some preset colors plus the option to create a custom color, kinda... the modification ability is still VERY limited and you aren't able to, for example, pick 5 colors and then pick an effect and it work. No, you can pick an effect, pick ONE color, and it decides what supplemental colors will be included in the effect. Personally, with how long the Hue app has been out, and the expected use of these lights for outdoors / holidays, Philips is so far behind their competitors and it's frustrating.2) Design: So these are designed to be used indoors AND outdoors. With that in mind, I can't see how these were tested outdoors due to a very basic design flaw. Outdoor receptacles must, by most codes, have a very specific electrical box - you know, the ones with the little doors that snap back to cover the outlet when not in use. Well, the box on the string lights that plugs into the outlet is large. Really large. And it's too wide to fit in a standard outdoor receptacle box due to those little covers being in the way. So your option is to use a box that's not code compliant for outdoor use, remove the doors, or buy an adapter to extend the plug an inch or so you can plug it in. We went with the last option (Outlet Extender), but none were ideal and easily avoidable if the design had taken this very basic thing into consideration. Pictures included.

Lights live up to the Hue standard. Bright, consistent colors with true greens. Sparkle and Glisten modes create great ambience.Yes, these are expensive. Yes, they are the best on the market.

Yes, they are pricey but, all of their products are. Works well and provides ample lighting and multiple displays using Hue app.
