FabianPhilips Hue has been offering a number of replacement parts for just over a year. These are primarily parts that can be easily replaced by the user, such as external power supplies or mounts for light strips. In the event of ‘genuine’ defects in the LED units, there is still no real recourse outside of the warranty.
Two new replacement parts for the Turaco series, which was recently updated with a new light source, are now available in the Philips Hue online shop. There are two different sets to choose from.
These outdoor replacement parts are new to Philips Hue
For €10.99, you can get a new diffuser for the Hue Turaco wall lantern. For €12.99, you can get a new pair of diffusers for the Hue Turaco pedestal and path light. Since the lights can be easily opened to replace the E27 bulb, replacing the diffuser should not be a major hurdle. ‘Easy to install,’ says Philips Hue.
The manufacturer also writes on the product page:
Is the diffuser of your Turaco pedestal/path light discoloured, dirty or damaged because it has been used outdoors for a long time? Now you can simply replace the diffuser with a new one that is easy to install and ensures that you can continue to use your outdoor lighting without having to replace the entire light.
Currently, both items are out of stock, but that should change shortly. Then a total of 13 different replacement parts will be available directly from Philips Hue. I really hope that this range will be expanded even further in the future. Feel free to write in the comments which replacement part you already needed but couldn’t buy. Maybe someone from Eindhoven is actually reading this and we can provide a little feedback…
