Somerset, New Jersey – Philips Lighting (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, today announced the first products in its highly anticipated Philips Hue outdoor range, available for purchase this summer in the United States. Consumers can extend their Philips Hue smart lighting experience to any outdoor area, from the driveway and the front door to their backyard, with the new line of light bulbs, wall-mounted fixtures, low-voltage spots and path lights.
“The new Philips Hue outdoor line of products allows our customers to get so much more out of their exterior lighting, and simplify and enhance their homes and lives,” said Roger Karner, head of Market US at Philips Lighting. “Adjust or automate the lighting to welcome you home, light your path as you attend to housework and have greater peace of mind over your home’s security. You can also select one of 16 million light colors to elevate your home’s look or create the perfect outdoor ambiance, whether you’re just relaxing or hosting family and friends for a barbeque.”
