Light up your garden with smartphone control: OSRAM LIGHTIFY Gardenspot Outdoor Kit $54 shipped (Reg. $80)

Update (5/24 12:05pm): Still available but currently backordered.

Amazon offers the OSRAM LED Landscape LIGHTIFY Gardenspot Mini Outdoor Kit for $54.42 shipped. That’s good for $25 off the regular going rate at retailers like Best Buy, the lowest that Amazon has sold it for and the best price that we’ve seen since it was released last summer.

OSRAM and Belkin first announced this partnership in a move to compete with Philips’ ever expanding line of Hue products. We positively reviewed this simple garden light setup as a “worthwhile investment” for those looking for smartphone connectivity outside. This kit includes a 14-foot string of lights with nine Gardenspot RGB lights. Each set is dimmable and can reproduce a wide variety of colors. It is compatible with SmartThings, Wink, Nest and Amazon Echo. You’ll need the OSRAM gateway if you’re planning to use it as a standalone without any of the aforementioned products. Rated 4/5 stars.

Experience intelligent, connected solutions that adapt at any time to your desires and lifestyle easily via existing mobile devices and a free, simple to use app. The OSRAM LIGHTIFY lighting system begins with a wireless Gateway that can be plugged into a standard wall outlet anywhere in your home or business, and wirelessly syncs with your existing WiFi network. The Gateway connects to LIGHTIFY devices (up to 50 per each Gateway) via standard ZigBee Home Automation protocols. Initial products include an A19 Tunable White 60W replacement LED lamp which delivers over 800 lumens and has an adjustable color temperature, meaning that it can be adjusted from a warm 2700 Kelvin Color Temperature up to a 6500 Kelvin cool white color level at any dimness level.
