Just to add to the plethora of Hue deals, the outdoor floodlight is also on sale. Normally retails well over $200, often around the $250 mark. If you can't be bothered with Amazon, JB Hi Fi have it for ten bucks more.
CamelCamelCamel.
Good pickup. Not sure why at this price they couldn't have done IP65.
Exactly. IP44 is only splashproof.
Pass on this one.
Because it doesn’t usually get water immersion?
That would be IP67. IP65 is protection from low pressure water jets from any direction.
Ive had 4 of these outside for last 12months.
They are exposed to the elements and we have a shitload of rain.
They are all working perfectly with no sign of leaks. I paid $259 each for mine.
Are you able to rotate the light in different directions once its installed?
No, that’s a massive annoyance for me. For the price they should really have this basic functionality.
Thanks mate. Yeah seems like a bit of an oversight then
@drogba: You can manually rotate up and down (has kind of a stepper design - kinda fiddly but works) but not side to side.
You need an "electrician" for this unlike other Hue products, I tested this inside during the day and was disappointed, but then outside at night it is blindingly bright. pretty awful looking IMO
IP44 is not enough water protection for my liking.
