Excellent price, I have sooo many Hue products, but still can't justify the cost of these. I've had good luck with the Ring solar motion ones at around $20 ish on a good deal.
Yeah, how baller do you have to be to have these as pathway lights lol.
I'm big into hue but these are a bit out of budget. I could maybe talk myself into it at $100 per two pack and even then that would be painful confirm purchase.
Have you priced outdoor/pathway lighting? This is actually a killer deal for this, especially if you already are in the Philips Hue rabbit hole.
I agree. Im not sure what kind of pathway lights people are purchasing that think this is expensive, other than the cheap solar pathway lights that last a few months. A good quality hardwired pathway light, especially bollard style, generally starts around $100.
As far as this deal, the price is very good, because it includes the power supply. I paid $85 for the extensions alone. Installation was really easy. I recommend burying a piece of pvc pipe and then sticking these into the pipe, to keep it stable and straight, but someone with more experience can probably recommend a better approach.
There are some colors where the range is not great. The other issue I have with these is that out of six lights, usually one of them is not reachable, and its different every time. The last issue I have is keeping them on schedule. I'm using the hue app and 3-4 times a week they don't turn off when they are supposed to and I have to manually switch them off.
I changed the channel in the hue app and all my hue lights are more reliable now.

I think it's a process, but this 2 pack. 3 months from now for the next deal but another 2 pack, spread the pain a bit.
Yes I have the fire burning solar ones from Amazon. Paid $33 for 4 of those and have had them for 3 years. Out of 8 only one has died
To each their own. You really can't compare solar pathway lighting to this - two different ballparks of functionality.
Off topic - it doesn't matter what deal is listed on SD, someone will always tell you it's a waste of money and you can get the equivalent at the dollar store. Not speaking to you, OP, just in general. If those solar fire burning pathway lights are working for you (3+ years working) and priced right, that in itself is a slick deal

Idk... 100$ a light you are getting some designer architectural or straight up overpaying. Home depot low voltage led lights start at about 25$. I got my 6 pack of outdoor fence lighting for 70$ on Amazon.. both been outside for two years and no issues???
All in for me on 12 lights I paid less 200$ incl misc. Power supply was only 40$ and runs via photocell. Enough power for 20 leds. Just food for thought....

But I prefer the retrofits. bit more clean look. they are damn hard to find though at a good price.
