What generally tends to happen is you go mad for the first couple of days and make your house look like a scene from Amsterdam, but then once you start to experiment, you create scenes for different things. For example when I watch TV I have the strip around the TV blue and the table lamps a low warm white (like what you get in a cinema with the surrounding wall lights). Then in the bedroom to wake me up I use a strong "energising" colour instead of a radio. Study has a blue light for concentration and the girls have them pink. There are loads of apps out there as well that can change the scenes dynamically, like passing clouds.

That's before you get into creating scenes and using your watch or Amazon echo or ifttt to control it.

You're not paying £25 for a colour changing lightbulb that others have already mentioned for far less, you are paying for an ecosystem that can be controlled and manipulated with so many other products.

You need a bridge to start which comes in a starter set then add whatever bulbs you like. The bridge is the controller for the bulbs and light strips etc

​I guarantee you'll find somewhere else to put the white ones - I've done this so many times lol.

​Welcome to 2016 then!

Yes - to an extent, to get the full benefit you need a Philips bridge to control them

Yes I think they are the older bulbs, the newer bulbs have been a fiver more, I still think it's a good deal but I would rather spend the extra fiver as some of the colours on this bulb are quite weak..

I was just thinking the same haha
