Review on Enhance Your Outdoor Space with Philips Outdoor Hue PAR 38 476812: A Brilliant Lighting Solution by Christina Ochoa

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Bad Florida weather

I bought 6 of these outdoor lights to light up my garden and patio. They worked great at first, but after a few months they started crashing with connection errors and strange behavior. Closer examination of the bulbs showed that they were filled with water and are holding it. Against my better judgment, I left them installed, thinking that eventually they would dry up and continue to work properly. Not correct. When I was outside during the day, I clearly heard a gurgling noise near one of the lights. The water in one of the bulbs was actually bubbling and the whole bulb felt very hot even though the lights were off and the circuit breakers weren't off. I immediately turned off the switch and took out the bulbs. After examining them carefully I'm not sure how the water got in, but I've since removed all 6 for fear they might damage my property. I would not recommend using them outdoors where they may be exposed to the weather.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
