Outdoor lighting options

Hue Lily XL

£129.99, www2.meethue.com

IP65 rated, so it repels everything from dust to jetting water from a rogue sprinkler, the Lily XL is perfect for highlighting paths or bathing your lawn in a cone of glorious coloured light.

LIFX BR30 +

£64.99, lifx.com

As long as it’s under cover, LIFX’s wide-ended smart bulb is great for outdoors; the ‘+’ means it outputs a secret infra-red beam, giving night vision cameras a significant visibility boost.

Ring Spotlight Cam Battery

£199, ring.com

More camera than spotlight this may be, but there’s no arguing it’s not smart – and the fact that you don’t have to run any wires out to it makes installation an absolute breeze.
