*Price has now gone up by £4 to £36.95 from £32.95*
Still a great price for the 1st gen white bulbs and bridge. As far as I'm aware these Lux bulbs are essentially the same as the Hue White bulbs so will do 2700k white and can be dimmed. The only difference between these and the newer Hue White bulbs is a slightly different shape, a slightly lower light output of 750lm vs 806lm (arguably a slightly lower heat output too) and the cost - the Hue White kit costs £59.99...

Lux bulbs have a fixed colour temp as far as I know, so they're not the same as Ambiance.
Also worth noting that this version of the bridge is not compatible with Apple HomeKit.
Other than those two minor issues, good find - heated!

Thanks for pointing this out - description updated. I had confused the Hue White and Hue White Ambiance.

They're also a lot less bright, unless your on a very tight budget you'll only regret not getting the current version bridge and lights.

Thanks OP, seems like a great price. A bit concerned that the order just says "Philips hue 9w lux White" even though the product page shows that it's the starter kit in the description and some of the images. Took a screenshot in case they just send me a single bulb :smiley:

I don't think there's much difference. The Hue White bulbs are rated at 806 lumens and 9.5W and these Hue Lux bulbs are rated at 750 lumens and 9W.
