# Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Lucca Outdoor Post 77 cm The 77 cm Lucca post is the more visible 2026 color fixture for gates and driveways, using the documented Hue Bridge path for Matter control. It is a Europe-specific installation purchase, and buyers should check country availability before treating it as the taller counterpart to the 40 cm pedestal.

Launch coverage identifies the included 1,100-lumen bulb as Matter-over-Thread compatible, but the exact Lucca page lists only Bluetooth and Zigbee and does not confirm that the fixture pack supplies the setup code required for direct pairing. - Launch date: 2026 - Thread border router required: No - Brand hub required: Yes - Typical price range: EUR164.99 - Markets: Europe - Review status: Compatibility guide - Product image: https://assets.matterhome.io/content/devices/philips-hue-lucca-outdoor-post/product.e1465899e9c4dfb9f849/source.webp - Product image alt text: Seventy-seven-centimetre anthracite Philips Hue Lucca outdoor post light - Product image source: https://www.assets.signify.com/is/image/Signify/8721103118752-929004308601-Lucca-Hue-post-anthracite-1xA60-WCA-RTP ## Ecosystem Support - Apple Home: Limited - Google Home: Limited - Alexa: Limited - SmartThings: Limited - Home Assistant: Limited ## Best For - Gates, driveways, and lawn edges that benefit from a taller light - European Hue homes extending one fixture design across an outdoor area - Buyers who want Hue scenes plus common control in another Matter ecosystem ## Skip If - You need current UK manufacturer availability - A 40 cm pedestal is a better physical fit - You want direct Matter, low-voltage power, or more weather protection than IP44 ## Setup Notes - Check for EAN 8721103118752; the older warm-white Lucca post uses EAN 8718696166062. - Confirm local availability, the 770 mm height, cable route, base, and outdoor electrical requirements before ordering. - Commission the bulb with Hue Bridge or Bridge Pro, apply updates, and then share the Bridge with the Matter ecosystem. - Test Zigbee reach at the gate, drive, or lawn edge before installing matching posts across the property. ## Known Limitations - This is the 770 mm European White and Color Ambiance post, not the 400 mm pedestal. - Philips Hue's UK listing said item no longer available on 2026-08-21, so the United Kingdom is not listed as a current market. - The exact product page does not document a Thread radio or confirm that the fixture pack supplies a direct Matter setup code. - Matter ecosystem controls are narrower than Hue scenes, effects, and maintenance. - Matterhome has not tested installation, weather exposure, outdoor Zigbee reach, or ecosystem feature parity. ## Pros - Seventy-seven-centimetre height gives driveways, gates, and lawn edges a more visible light source - Includes a replaceable 1,100-lumen White and Color Ambiance A60 E27 bulb - Hue Bridge preserves Hue controls while sharing the light through Matter - Current European SKU is available in several regional Hue stores ## Cons - The verified Matter path requires a Hue Bridge or Bridge Pro - Permanent 220 to 240 V power and a secure mounting base are required - IP44 limits how exposed the installation should be - The current UK Hue page says this SKU is no longer available ## Sources - https://www.philips-hue.com/de-de/p/hue-white-color-ambiance-lucca-wegeleuchte/8721103118752 - https://www.philips-hue.com/fr-fr/p/hue-white-and-color-ambiance-lampadaire-exterieur-lucca/8721103118752 - https://www.philips-hue.com/en-gb/p/hue-white-and-colour-ambiance-lucca-outdoor-post/8721103118752 - https://www.philips-hue.com/de-de/p/hue-white-lucca-outdoor-wegeleuchte-anthrazit/1740393P0 - https://www.philips-hue.com/en-gb/support/article/philips-hue-and-matter-complete-setup-and-support-guide/000012 - https://www.philips-hue.com/en-gb/support/release-notes/bridge - https://hueblog.com/2026/04/21/new-hue-lucca-launches-new-shop-design-at-philips-hue/ - https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/matter/ - https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/hue/ - https://www.assets.signify.com/is/content/Signify/Assets/hue/global/legal/20240708-philips-hue-outdoor-fixed-luminaires-230v-bulb-202407-eu-doc.pdf - https://www.assets.signify.com/is/image/Signify/8721103118752-929004308601-Lucca-Hue-post-anthracite-1xA60-WCA-RTP The taller Lucca is for a gate or driveway, not just for completing a matching set. At 770 mm high, the 2026 White and Color Ambiance post puts its diffuser well above the 400 mm pedestal while using the same 1,100-lumen A60 E27 bulb and the same Hue Bridge route into Matter. ## Height changes the lighting job The post is 142 mm square and weighs 2.215 kg before mounting. Its extra height makes it more visible along a drive, beside a gate, or at a lawn edge, but it also asks more of the base and the surrounding space. Confirm that the post will not obstruct a path, door swing, vehicle line, or garden work before planning the cable. Choose the 40 cm pedestal when low-level path guidance is the real goal. Choose the 77 cm post when the fixture needs to mark an entrance or throw light from a more noticeable height. ## Confirm the SKU and country listing EAN 8721103118752 identifies the current color post. The older EAN 8718696166062 is a similar-looking warm-white model with an 806-lumen bulb. Product names alone are not enough to separate them. Philips Hue lists the 2026 post for EUR164.99 in Germany and France. Its UK page said the item was no longer available on August 21, 2026, so this guide treats it as a European product rather than promising current UK availability. Check the local Hue store before ordering or importing it. ## The Matter route stays inside Hue Install the 220 to 240 V IP44 fixture according to local rules, add its bulb to Hue Bridge or Bridge Pro, and finish updates in the Hue app. The Bridge can then expose the supported light controls to another Matter ecosystem. This verified path does not require Thread, but it does require the Bridge and a Matter controller in the receiving platform. Launch coverage identifies the included 1,100-lumen bulb as Matter-over-Thread compatible, and Hue's general guide supports direct setup for Matter-enabled bulbs whose packaging provides a Matter logo and code. The exact Lucca page lists Bluetooth and Zigbee but does not confirm that code in the fixture pack. Check the package before buying if the direct path is the reason for choosing it. Hue remains responsible for the bulb, firmware, scenes, and richer effects. Home Assistant users should compare the Matter bridge with the native Philips Hue integration, which Home Assistant recommends for deeper Hue features. ## Buy for the gate, not the badge The Lucca post earns its cost when the 77 cm height, anthracite design, permanent power, and Bridge-managed Hue system are all wanted. Skip it for a casual path light, an exposed position beyond IP44, or a setup whose main requirement is direct Matter without a brand hub.
