Philips Hue Light Bulb Use Outdoor

I've been using Philips Hue for almost 10 years and I'm happy with this smart light system.

This Accessory is a must if you have Philips Hue Lights. Once set up it works just like a regular light switch with the ability to store up to 4 light settings. No need to open up an App on your phone or computer to turn on lights. I suggest one for each room you have Philips light installed.

I have a number of lights in the Philips Hue family, and the blooms are no joke! Very light weight, but very well made. It fills up so much of the room with its light without being overpowering. Definitely well worth it!!

Being a home theater enthusiast adding these lights to my philips hue sync box which is already syncing to my tv makes for an unbelievable movie watching experience! Super fast shipping from B&H. I would highly recommend if your a philips fan.

I already use Philips Hue lightbulbs (they’re amazing) and decided to try this lamp when we were in the market for a new bedroom floor lamp. What a hit! Its floor footprint is tiny (perfect for our tiny Manhattan apartment) yet the lamp is bright enough to replace a “proper” floor lamp — it delivers way more than just “accent” light. We’re obsessed and already want to buy more.

Great sound, still mastering some of Siri’s tricks to control my Philips Hue lights. Audio is great for speakerphone, and it creates interactivity at gatherings, like a disembodied extra presence.

I am a photographer doing mostly still life in a studio environment. I was looking for an intro kit and this kit is perfect. The light output is plenty for indoor photography (iso 200, 1/200 sec f 29 near full power with reflector on one unit second unit filling) (never tested outdoor, but might be a little weak for large outdoor subjects especially if using softboxes) A few notes I would have liked to know when I purchased the light kit: There is a proportional setting for the modeling bulb, or a full power mode. The recycle time is really quick, the manual specifies 12 seconds but usually less than 1 second on full power. The protective cap CAN be put on with the Modeling bulb installed, Standard incandescent bulbs will screw in, and will also fit with the protective cap installed. It does comes with 2) 10ft power cables, special modeling bulb and spare fuses. The unit has a slave cell which detects a flash and will trigger the unit. The slave cable is a PC to 1/8 mini-plug (headphone male) cable. The manual specifies it is compatible with Elinchrom style reflectors and head accessories A few comments about the unit after a few photo shoots. Also some people complain of the difficulty assembling the soft boxes, I found it a little difficult the first time, but once you figure out how to do it, it only take around 30-60 seconds to put together. The Air-Cushioned stands are really nice to keep from jolting the flash heads when adjusting the height. The locking attachment ring takes a little getting used to, It appears to difficult to attach attachments, but make sure the locking ring is in the unlock position, then attachments lock very securely. Overall, a solid basic Monolight kit, which includes the basics you need to get started with strobe photography.

It's a light bulb.

Use with Phottix Premio Reflective Umbrella White Diffuser umbrella or Phottix 40 Reflect Softbox Studio Umbrella with LED Corn bulb for super bright, one light modifier. Forget Flourescent use LED Corn bulb. Very economical set up for lots of light. Built in on/off switch too.

This is a good bulb if your building your first lighting setup. I'm using them with a softbox and a honeycomb. The honeycomb, similar to barn doors, allows you to focus the light in a general direction without leaking light to places you don't want the light to go or bounce. Makes a huge difference. Some tips: Use c-stands + weight bags, not 3-legged stands. 3-legged stands can tip over easy, take up more room, people can trip over them, and can't be weighed down. Use a socket with a fuse. These get hot. Ventilate. Do not leave unattended. Make sure all your lights in a socket have the same color temp. They last a long time provided you handle them with care. They have mercury, so don't break them and dispose of them properly.
