I have bought several of these in the past. Just be aware that they do not come with the Y adapter to connect multiple units together. Secondly, the small power supplies are worthless as you can only connect three of these XL lights to the 40 watt bricks.

Per the cosco listing, it does (or at least sounds like the same thing you referring to):

"Add up to 2 Lily spot lights to your setup with an easy-to-use T-connector, one of the features of the LowVolt system.""

Hi, nope. In box. Light, shade, a SHORT extension cable which is about 6' long, not as long as the ones that come with other philips outdoor lights. a round mounting plate, a 4 inch extension to raise it off the ground, a ground spike and the 40 watt brick. I received my order last week and ordered 2 more this morning.

Oh so you have to buy this seperately?

Looks like everywhere has them for $130 so this is a $30 savings. I had hoped Costco would do a multi light bundle as they did with the hue Play bar lights. Hmm… 3 of these at $300 or a smart switch and some dumb lights for $200?

Edit: more research shows Hue originally wanted to sell these without power supplies so in effect this is a bundle. Dumb that they bundled a 40W supply to power 2 bulbs. Why not a 50W supply to power 3? Anyway. That's just FYI from a rambling old man.

Just FYI: Phillips is coming out with a new line of hue bulbs and other hue products in the next few months.

Note: The $130 one is the Extension (without power supply) but with the Y adapter.

I know these are on the high end of outdoor smart lighting. Is there a lower tier smart outdoor lighting system? How does it compare to this?

I don't think these are "high end" $99 for an outdoor fixture is actually mid level. A Kichler LED outdoor 12 watt uplight runs around $300.

This changes color, if that's what you are into then it's a good deal for what it is.

There are cheaper alternatives, just do an amazon search for zigbee lights and some will show up.

How do you connect to outlet with such a short power cable ?
