Philips Hue Outdoor Spot Light Base kit

Update: After waiting several months Philips sent out a new power supply. And of course it did not help at all. My guess is likely water egress AGAIN. Hey Philips. Perhaps you might want to actually seal devices USED OUTSIDE? The Chinese makers who sell those cheap $10 solar light seem to have that figured out. Why can't you at the $500 price point? For those having issues there's an active recall on power supplies due to some product safety issue. Perhaps they will recall the entire system and give customers an option for a refund since they can't seem to figure out how to seal their lights correctly. Seems like yet another a safety issue to have water getting inside a light unit that's connected to 110v house mains.Stupidly I have a house full of Philips Hue lights and for the most part I like them even though their price point in comparison to other products is high. Most of the time they just work. Except for this garbage.This lighting system is really stupidly designed. They tried to make it easy for consumers to install and use but thought nothing about the fact that it's used outside. Thick cables, oversized connectors and housings that seem like they are waterproof when they actually aren't. My first failure was water ingress into a lamp that took it offline. Then the power supply failed taking the entire light system offline. In less than a year. For the amazing price of $500 (I upgraded to 5 spots). My chinese made solar "throw em away every season" lights have actually lasted longer than this overpriced lighting system and did not require me to drill a hole in the side of my house either.When this system is working the white color is nice and bright but all of the colors are washed out and dim in comparison. They seemed to really cut a bunch of corners on the quality of the color LED's inside this product and it's more of a marketing blurb that it's color. It's barely enough to light the house and the white LED's are about 5x brighter.So. Now my $500 worth of lights is completely worthless and is going into the trash to be replaced with some lower cost hard wired LED landscaping lights that I should have bought in the first place. I never really thought about how overpriced Hue Lights were until I was faced with throwing $500 worth of product into the trash after a year. This consumer will certainly remember this experience every time the urge to buy a hue product comes up. This likely will be my last Philips purchase and likely my last smart home product as well. It's just not worth paying a fortune to tinker with cheaply made chinese made crap anymore only to be locked into some companies ecosystem to try to milk you out of cash.
