Hello all,

I am looking for some small, modern outdoor lights for my garden fence.
Needs to be smart controlled ideally.

Any ideas / suggestions?

Thanks
 
I use Shelly 1's to make my garden lights smart. Converts almost any mains powered light to a smart light (wifi controlled)
 
Have ordered some simple down-lights that take GU10 bulbs.
Was going to put Hue smart bulbs into them, as I already have those in the living room (only a few meters from the fence I want to illuminate).
Are there any similar good quality smart GU10 brands that are cheaper? (that work from the hue bridge)?

Take a look at the Ikea Tradfri line of bulbs.
 
Thanks for that, I didnt even realise that Ikea did these.
Guessing I would have to buy the bridge etc, as they won't be compatible with the Hue set up that I already have?
 
You can pair Ikea bulbs to a hue bridge but not hue bulbs to the ikea bridge. But you will be limited to voice controls. Ikea switches do not pair to hue in the same way but can still work on ikea bulbs.
 
Dont you want the lights to be IP65 or 66 rated for outside lights due to rain?
