Base kit, 3 spotlights | Low-volt power supply included | RGBW, 2000-6500K | IP65 | Hue Bridge required
Overview
The Philips Hue Lily is an outdoor spotlight, and this base kit has three spotlights and a low-voltage power supply. The spots give coloured and white light (RGBW), with white from 2000K to 6500K, and Hue’s FAQ gives up to 600 lumens per spotlight. They are aluminium in black and rated IP65, and Hue says the Lily is designed to work between -20°C and 40°C. A ground spike lets you set them at ground level in grass or soil.
The low-voltage power supply can plug into a normal wall socket. Hue says all outdoor Philips Hue products need a Hue Bridge, sold separately, even though the spec table lists Bluetooth and Zigbee. You set the spots up in the Philips Hue app with the Bridge, and they are dimmable with the Hue app and switches. Hue lists Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Matter, Samsung SmartThings and Sonos among the platforms it works with, and gives a 2-year warranty.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Cons
Good to Know
Hue says base kits always include a power supply unit, while extension kits do not. Hue’s FAQ says a 40 W power supply unit will power five Lily spotlights or three Lily XL spotlights; the UK page doesn’t list the wattage of the power supply in this kit.
Setup & Installation
Hue’s outdoor-lights setup guide starts with the Bridge: it should be connected and added to your Philips Hue app. Then, on the Home tab, tap the three-dot icon and tap Add devices. Choose a Room to add the light to, then scan the QR code; if the product doesn’t have a QR code, tap No QR code to add it by searching or using its serial number. Tap Next to see the lights in the Room you selected, then Done.
Hue says at least one light needs to be within 10 m of the Hue Bridge. Each light repeats the signal, so you can extend the network by adding lights.
Common Problems & Fixes
Running into issues? Our Philips Hue troubleshooting guide covers step-by-step fixes taken from Hue’s own support pages, including how to reset Hue lights, not responding to Alexa or Google and lights unreachable.
Who Should Buy It
Anyone who has a Hue Bridge and wants coloured spotlights for the garden, with a normal wall socket for the low-voltage power supply.
Verdict
The Lily base kit gives three IP65 RGBW spotlights and the low-voltage power supply to run them. Set up a Hue Bridge before you start.
