Color My World

Philips Hue lighting kits are a go-to solution for Diy’ers seeking to create an indoor lighting system controlled by a smartphone or by Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant voice commands. While the main attraction is programming scenes to dim and transform white light from cool to warm tones, the Philips Hue can also beam light in up to 16 million colors. Until recently, Hue lights were reserved strictly for indoor use, but that now changes with the introduction of the Hue outdoor range. The new offerings consist of the Lily spotlight ($280 for a base unit pack) and Calla bollard ($130 for a base unit pack). Lily spotlights bathe plants, trees, and the architectural features of your home in a changing wash of color, while a set of Calla bollards can be used to illuminate garden paths and walkways. usa.philips.com
