I’ve had 6 LiFX BR30 lights on the front of my house since 2019. At first, they were pretty decent. One would fall off the network every other month, or so, but that wasn’t much of a pain. Lately, multiple lights will drop off the Wi-Fi every week. I’m at the point where I will either replace them, or install smart switches to just turn them off/on like normal lights. Looking around, I don’t see much in this size that are rated for outdoor use and support multiple colors. The current ones are set to Ukraine colors since the invasion, and I also change them for holidays. Ideally, I’d like to find something supporting zigbee, thread, or z-wave - pretty much in that order.
I’ve looked at Hue, but didn’t see any outdoor rated flood lights in their line up. Perhaps I’m just blind.
I have looked at the wi-fi. They’re locked to 2.4 GHz, but I can’t change the channel on the Deco mesh that I have. It scans the network and selects what it thinks is the best. According to my signal scanner, it’s not in the best channel, but it’s not in the worst, either. Plus, the same scanner says the lights should be getting an excellent signal where they are in relation to the AP.
