Hey guys.

I’m trying to get creative here, so bear with me. I’ve got a Hue system set up, currently working in my bedroom and living room. I’d like to get one bulb in my bathroom because the overhead lighting in there is harsh. Problem is, there’s only one outlet- and it’s above the sink. There’s a big alcove next to the shower that’s begging for a lamp, but of course there’s no outlet. So I’m trying to find a way to get Hue over there that doesn’t involve wiring a new outlet.

I’d like to know if it’s possible to power one of these bulbs with either a battery or a USB power bank (preferable because I’ve got several 28,600 bricks). Can a battery run a Hue and, if it’s possible, how long can one expect between charges assuming one can use the power bank and is running around an hour per day?

Lastly, if all of the above actually makes sense to try- can you direct me to a USB powered lamp with interchangeable bulbs? The internet is not helping me.

Power is not my forté, so if this is ridiculous just let me know.

 

Maybe everybody else knows, but what is Hue?

Smart lighting.
