Just want to share a little lighting install. I'm very sensitive to lighting moods. At the bottom of my list are the cold neon lights, :disgust:. Although LED techno is moving fast the kelvin ratings of strips and other are not there, if you can't change the color.
So I swapped most of the existing strips and some lights for some philips hue and it's been great:
- Strips, Go, Iris, Bloom can all be connected straight to 12V, with a step up to 24 for Go and for the new lightstrips I think. I've got the old ones that are 12V.
- Base Station is Micro Usb so no problem.
- The base station does require Ethernet so I'm using this very small TPLink 3020 which has an Ethernet port and also a USB 3G/4G dongle port, also Micro Usb
- I'm also using the Hue Tap switch which you can stick anywhere.
- Great are the Hue Gos because they have an internal battery so you can move them around the boat, they are great at night on the outside areas.
Here are some pics:
