Overview: The Philips Hue Econic Outdoor Wall/Ceiling Light can add color to the outside your home, or illuminate an entryway with soft white light. As part of the White and Color Ambiance series the Outdoor Wall/Ceiling Light can produce white light from warm white to cool daylight (2000 to 6500 Kelvin) and 16-million colors. Control of the brightness and color requires wireless connection to the Hue Bridge (sold separately, or included in a Hue Starter Kit). The Wall/Ceiling light mounts flush to your wall or ceiling, and requires hardwiring to your home\’s electrical wiring.

Outdoor Wall/Ceiling Light: The Econic Outdoor Wall/Ceiling Light fixture is 10.2" x 10.2" x 4.5" (W x H x D) with a slight taper, and is made of durable black textured aluminum and tempered glass. The fixture has a rating of IP44, which means the fixture is protected from water splashing from all directions. The fixture features a 5.5" square white translusive lens inside the glass fixture with a Wi-Fi controlled LED light inside (not user replaceable). The light has a 1150-lumen output, yet it only consumes 15 watts of power. The built-in light bulb has an estimated lifetime of up to 25,000 hours and 50,000 switching cycles. The Outdoor Wall/Ceiling Light weighs approximately 6.5 pounds.

Installing: Installing the light fixture should be performed by an experienced consumer or a certified electrician. The fixture will need to be disassembled before installing. The wall/ceiling light should be installed onto a round or hexagonal junction box. There are also four pre-drilled screw holes in the mounting plate for attaching it to the wall or ceiling surface. Mounting hardware is not included in the package. The three wire pigtails on the fixture (Black-Hot; White-Neutral; Bare-Ground) will need to be connected to the home\’s wiring with wire nuts (not included). After reassembling the fixture, a bead of sealant should be applied around the edges to prevent water or insects from entering the fixture.
