No need for another product to control via bluetooth. I use the Hue BT app on Android, I think it must exist for iPhone. To control via wifi though you will need the bridge in my opinion.
The LEDs are designed for an operating temperature of -20 °C to a maximum of 45 °C. As the temperatures in a sauna are often above 45 °C, they are not suitable for the sauna area. Even if you install them behind the benches, where it is slightly cooler, the heat can affect their service life and function. The Outdoor Lightstrip is not designed for the high temperatures in saunas and should not be used there.
The Philips Hue outdoor LED strip (RGBW, 500 cm) is flexible, but cannot be bent or angled at 90 degrees. It is designed to be laid continuously and does not support sharp corners or 90 degree bends, as this could damage the strip or affect its operation. It is recommended that it is laid in gentle curves or straight lines to ensure optimum use.
Yes, you can only use the Philips Hue app on your phone to adjust the LED strip. The app allows you to control, customise and organise Philips Hue lights, including outdoor LED strips, from your smartphone, even remotely via an internet connection.
Yes, it is possible to cut the LED strip at certain specific points marked with a scissors symbol. For a length of 4 metres, the strip should only be cut at these points to avoid damaging its operation. These cutting points are indicated on the strip itself and help to maintain the electrical and lighting integrity of the product.
Yes, this product works with the Apple ecosystem. It is compatible with Apple HomeKit, allowing you to control it using Siri and integrate it into your smart home setup.
It does not have an adhesive strip, but you can certainly stick it on with suitable adhesive tape. The strip has a flat underside. But beware, it is somewhat thicker and heavier than the cheap strips, so it is best to use a high-quality (outdoor) adhesive tape.
The main difference between the RGBW variant and the multicolour LED strip lies in the colour palette and the technology. The RGBW variant often offers a wider colour palette with additional white tones, which provides better colour rendering and more flexibility in the light colour. The multicolour LED strips also offer a wide colour palette, but the RGBW variant can often offer more precise control over the white tones.
- Colour palette: RGBW variant often offers more precise control over white tones.
- Technology: RGBW uses an additional white light channel for better colour rendering.
- Colour temperature: RGBW variant can often offer a wider colour temperature range.
The Philips Hue Outdoor Lightstrip does not need to be connected directly to the Bridge, but it must be within the range of the Bridge or other Philips Hue lights. Here are the steps to install the strip:
- Make sure your Hue Bridge is plugged in, connected to Wi-Fi and added to the Hue app.
- Install the Outdoor Lightstrip in your desired location and switch it on.
- Open the Hue app, go to the Home tab, tap the three-dot icon and select Add lights. The app should find the Lightstrip automatically. If not, you can enter the serial number of the product.
The Lightstrip will be recognised in the Hue app after it has been plugged in and installed without having to be connected directly to the Bridge.
No, the 5m outdoor light strip from Philips Hue cannot be extended with another 5m strip. The light strip itself cannot be extended, although the mains cable can be extended using separate 5m extensions.
The Outdoor Lightstrip from Philips Hue can display colour gradients and not just one colour at a time. It supports RGBW colours, which means that it can take on a variety of colours and white tones and these can also be displayed simultaneously or in sequences.
PS: since it is a Philips HUE product, why is Hue / Hue Bridge not listed as a control medium in the specifications? Can the Stripes only be operated with the services listed? Lg
the product is not expandable in the sense that you cannot attach pieces under the same power supply. You have to in your case buy one strip of five and one strip of two. The packages come with everything you need for assembly. You will have two power supplies. There is also a specific extension cable that allows you to keep the two power supplies close to each other.
