If you're happy with HD and not in a rush to throw out all of your blu-rays of films shot in SD to re-buy them in overpriced 4K, then don't worry! I have this version of Hue, they're amazing and do everything I want them to. Not one person has ever commented "if only the colours were a bit richer!" :confused:

Old model - not the newer model with richer colour.

Held off and held off.... Damn you HUKD

There is; newer model has been around £100 on Amazon. I d hold off. Blue and greens are much richer on newer version. Check out on you tube (Philips hue gen 3 vs gen 2)

I own a few of each gen 2 and 3 and tbh I don't really have any problems with them they both do what's needed and mix well colour wise for this price would be silly to pay the extra just for a little extra depth I don't even need any more and im thinkin of getting it

ordered thanks op

How do these bulbs compare with the Hive ones? I don't have a hive heating system but their pricing seems good and you can integrate control of mains power sockets as well. I'm primarily wanting the system to use with Alexa.

I purchased a 2nd gen bulb and tried to use alongside my gen 3 bulbs but app would not control this bulb. not sure if it should have worked but took it back to store for a refund.

Ordered, decent price for hub and 3 bulbs. Cheers
