Masterful marketing that they've somehow convinced people it's worth spending £100 on coloured light bulbs.
Do I need them? No.
Had I ever expected to spend £100 on lightbulbs in my entire life? No.
Am I tempted cus it's on HUKD? Yup.

Well worth it I got them on Black Friday from Argos for £75 and ended up getting more white bulbs for the rest of the house.really bright and turning them on and off when I'm down the pub just to annoy the wife at home makes them even better value for money.

Everyone has a particular thing they spend their cash on. For instance people who are amazed that people spend money on coloured lights probably think nothing of spending £100 on booze over a Friday/Saturday night. At least people that bought this have something to show for their money.

I honestly think most market research departments have discussion along the lines of 'how much is this worth? okay, double it'. Last I bought LED bulbs I think they were less than a tenner. Throw in a bit of kit that communicates over the mains ring and these should really be in the £50 region.
Though I get the impression Philips is seeing how much they can bleed out of LED lighting. I do like their Livingcolours [or friends of hue for wireless] mood lamps but I've only ever bought one of the Micro ones since they're so darn pricey.

There's no room for rational logical thinking here, earn more money and buy more ****, it's the only way.

I would never pay £100 for coloured bulbs.
GU10 is £48.. I pay about 50p thats great marketing skills

Are b22 to e27 converters good with these?
How much power do they use being in an eternal standby too.

Yes, works fine. I bought my Hue last week when it was on offer and most of my fittings are BC, so bought these;

What is the range with these? Could I put the hub in the house and the lights in the summerhouse (at the bottom of the garden) and control the lights from the house?
I have wifi in the summerhouse through PLC plugs.

Hue bulbs don't use wi-fi, the hub is connected through a wired connection to your internet router and then the hub connects to the bulbs via a Bluetooth connection called zigbee. no WiFi involved.
