Philips Hue Outdoor Review: The best HomeKit landscaping lighting comes at a price
Trevor Daugherty - 3:51 pm EDT

When Philips Hue first announced its line of outdoor smart lighting back at CES 2018, I was immediately intrigued. I was on-hand for the demo in Las Vegas and saw an answer to a problem that has seemingly plagued my outdoor spaces for years. There are plenty of lighting solutions for gardens and outdoor areas but most are clunky and unrefined. I’ve leaned on outdoor-grade smart plugs each Christmas for a while, but those lack the integrated dimming controls that are often best suited for landscape lighting.

The Philips Hue outdoor line arrived on the scene with an answer in-hand, and a hefty price tag to match. But what I found was a refined solution that met the needs of my burgeoning HomeKit setup while highlighting the unique architectural aspects of my home, which you can learn more about below.

  1. WHAT'S THE ADVANTAGES OF WIRELESS CAR CHARGING MOUNT?-sinregeek
    Actually, A good smartphone mount can greatly reduce those risks by holding your phone steady, where you can easily see the screen and access on-screen buttons without blocking your view or forcing you to take your eyes off the road for too long. More Over, we need to charge our phones during the driving to keep the mobiles powered. With the wireless charger car mount automatic clamping at dash level, using it becomes more like operating a car radio, which has little effect on driving performance or crash risk. We’d hedge that a bit—phone use while driving is still a distraction—but clearly, placement matters, and a good mount makes the inevitable phone use less dangerous.

    If you want to use your smartphone while driving—to get directions, play music, or take phone calls—A good wireless smartphone car charging mount will hold your phone steady in a convenient place while you drive—without blocking your view of the road, and is much safer than, say, holding a phone in your hand or having to look down at a cupholder or dash bin. Wireless charging mounts, like the one we review from sinregeek in this guide, offer the added convenience of charging Qi-compatible phones while you drive.
    WHAT KIND OF WIRELESS CHARGING CAR MOUNT DO YOU NEED?
    Depending on your car’s dash design, as well as your personal preferences, you’ll need to decide two things: whether to get a dash/windshield wireless car mount or a car Air vent mount charging mount, and whether to get a tension-grip cradle or a magnetic grip for the phone. Let's have a look each of their advantages and disadvantages, and you can know which cell phone car mount wireless charger will be your choice.

    Dash/windshield mounts: This type of mount attaches to the windshield or the top of the dash, generally with a suction cup and/or an adhesive pad. This places your phone close to your normal line of sight while you’re driving and doesn’t block your view of, or access to, the dashboard and its controls. Keep in mind that some states have laws about where you’re allowed to place devices on the windshield.
