Philips Hue adds to its outdoor range of smart lights

At CES 2019 this week Philips Hue expanded its popular collection of lighting, particularly in the outdoor line. Giving consumers even more functionality and versatility, the lights can extend the personal experience outside of the house.

The new models include a number of wall-mounted outdoor fixtures and path lighting, as well as a battery-operated sensor.

Experience the comfort of your lights turning on automatically when you arrive in the dark.

The new weather-resistant Hue Outdoor sensor is wireless and battery-powered and can, among other things, automatically turn on when you arrive in the dark. With a detection range of 12 meters (~39 feet), it can also trigger whenever someone passes by.

Using the Philips Hue app, users can choose which lights turn on when someone passes by the sensor. Indeed, both indoor and outdoor lights can be configured, making it appears as if someone is always at home.

The sensor will be available for purchase for about $50 in Europe and North America starting in February.

Philips Hue has a handful of flood lights and other lighting coming next month, including some which are exclusive to Europe. A few are white lights while some offer colors. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s on deck.
