There's always one.

Bear in mind your light fittings are more likely to be bayonet than Edison, so you'll either need to buy some adaptors or change the fittings. You'll want B22 to E27 adaptors, and won't need to pay more than a couple of quid each for them.

Same price as Maplins and Argos if that's easier - oh and John Lewis

been looking for one, its such a good price, but feel it maybe be slightly cheaper soon.

BT shop had a cheaper price but isn't in stock for a few more days

you can get the v1 hub with 2 bulbs for £35 ish from Luzern Tech. Mine are getting delivered this week. The v1 hub doesn't support apple/siri but is good with the Amazon echo.

not a deal. always this price

standard price

Be a lot cheaper to just get up and walk to the light switch / dimmer.
Free exercise too.

anyone know of the B22 fitting for decent price?

every day standard price for this set.

The V1 hub does have slightly less functionality with Alexa. iirc you cannot control lighting scenes with a V1.

Here you go - https://www.luzerntech.com/default/philips-hue-lux-9w-es-connected-bulb-starter-pack-white.html

Not a deal. JL is 2 years as well and free collection from waitrose or JL and free standard delivery.
For those who asked about B22, this kit isn't available in B22. If you are looking for a cheap starter, get this kit and buy a couple of the E27 to B22 converters, I got a couple from amazon for £4. They work well and I have since bought other B22 bulbs to go with it.

Almost everything you buy in the UK has a two year warranty by law

​maplins is free delivery over £10

This is the rrp and from dixons group. Sorry but cold

I may be wrong but I think he meant the Philips starter kit in a BC fitting not where to purchase the adapters :smiley:

That's an EU directive, maybe we voted ourselves out of it, who knows. UK law is more complicated.

"You can also ask the retailer to repair or replace your item within six months of purchase. The act provides cover for up to six years in England and Wales, as long as the item has failed through no fault of your own and it was reasonable to expect it to last longer than it has. However, once an item is six months old, you will have to prove the good was faulty when you bought it."

I did read something about it not supporting scenes as well

Hue does come with a 2 year guarantee anyway.

Please can someone tell me why one would like to change colours of their bulb?

Blurb from Hue skill:
This skill specifically adds support for Philips Hue scenes and rooms. It is only compatible with Philips Hue Bridge V2 (Square shape) and NOT compatible with Philips Hue bridge V1 (circular shape) in order to ensure reliability for this new functionality and to provide the best customer experience. The functionality of on / off / dimming is compatible with both the Philips Hue V1 (Circular shape) and V2 (Square shape) bridges. If you are not using scenes with your Philips Hue bulbs or have a V1 bridge, you do not need to enable this skill. Simply ask Alexa to discover your devices and push the button on the bridge.

Same kit is £49 at BT shop, although they don't have a planned delivery date!

Wth is this :confused:

I'm not being funny but to control light with an app and have it adjustable for 60 quid?
No thanks, or am I missing something.

Not voted cold as I don't know enough about it.

​But you sound funny! :confused:

Says the ...

Not a deal as this is the standard price.

Well, if you wanted dimmable LED in your house you'd be looking at roughly £8 for a dimmer switch and £8 for a dimmable LED similar to the ones here.

The bulbs are about £15 so about equivalent of buying regular dimmer/dimmable bulbs you're basically paying extra £30 for the Hub to have them connected to your home network. It's not just being able to control them with your phone, but you can set routines (I have my landing light set to Night Light during the night and fade up to bright around the time I go to work, the turn off when it's light outside).

You can also have Geofencing so lights come on when you get home or go off when you leave home.

You can also use IFTTT to do hundreds of things. Like, set a colour bulb to change to a certain colour if it's a certain temperature outside. Or flash a light if you get an email from a specific address, see https://ifttt.com/hue for various others.

With the colour or variable warmth bulbs you can have a really cool white which helps concentration or a better light for reading, or you can make it warm white to relax.

This isn't a particularly good deal imo, I got the 1st Gen from Costco for £32 (the same one at Luzerntech for £37) which if you compare the price of dimmable bulbs/switches then it's not bad.

How is this 239! This is the standard price??

When did Costco have the hubs ?

£60 for a couple bulbs! What can they do

November, it was £40, but I got a £10 off voucher emailed to me,.

I've been looking every time I go, must have missed them :disappointed: Ordered from Luzerntech now anyway

You can get this kit for £37.80 including postage from Alza.co.uk

There are several posts on here about them with the following link being the biggest http://www.hotukdeals.com/ask/anyone-used-alzashop-buy-pc-equipment-2185966

I haven't used them yet myself but they seem legit. Probably ok as long as you do not need to return an item.

​Cheers! Just ordered one of this and 4 GU10s for under £90. If it gets delivered, I'll order more GU10s!

​warranty is provided by the manufacturer for the first year the retailer is responsible the 2nd year they will provide you with the contact number of the manufacturer if you don't have your warranty card.

why bother with people who don't see the point? Too lazy to investigate the potential of this technology, just let them be and don't waste your time.

Yes, placed an order 03/01 and it arrived yesterday. Not bad considering they are based in Czech

Did it give you a silly dispatch date?
I ordered around the same date and it said by the 28th of January (although it does say one is out of stock and awaiting delivery)
Just wondering if they give a long delivery date as standard

Alza just cancelled my order because of a pricing error and put all their hue prices back up. :disappointed:
Should have ordered earlier, ah well.

No, as the stuff I ordered was in stock.

Looks like lots of people placed orders putting the majority of SKU's out of stock with long lead times for the end of Jan. Looks like all outstanding orders have been cancelled due to a pricing error.
