Code HOME25 working again, just managed to get 25% discount on philips hue starter kit 99.99 reduced to 74.99. I ordered for fast track collection from store but code also works for delivery. I would of ordered the more expensive 149.99 colour kit but it is out of stock for collection and delivery in my area.

Code wouldn't work for me, said discount has been applied but no money was removed from the price.

Cheers and no problem, I'd been trying the code all week with no success and then got lucky today!

For anyone wanting to search a bit further afield of the nearest 10 stores (which is all the Argos site seems to allow), this site is very useful for checking stock. You just need an item number and postcode. https://****.co.uk/
Not sure if the link is working but it's a website called Check Now

Great timing. Bought the 2m lightstrip and for the 1m for free effectively! Thanks OP :smiley:

Two white bulbs for £22 is pretty good, everything else I wanted is OOS everywhere. If only I had another good place to put a lightstrip, first one is great.

I snagged the colour kit last time this deal was live, but returned it after I bought 6 LIFX colour bulbs for £10 each on Amazon as a pricing error which they honoured.

By far the best starter kit with the most practical bulbs. My colour bulbs are usually rarely used for colour and you need a physical switch for family to accept the lights. Also iconnecthue app to fully program the dimmer.

The dimmer with the iConnectHue app is fantastic. You can do so much stuff.

Not sure why the code isn't working for some people. I've just tried and working absolutely fine. Ordered as though I was going to pick up in store and then went through to the pay online screen - entered code - took £25 off.

i considered it, but if too many order a misprice, then I thought they wouldn't honour it

Do these work with an Echo?

Considered buying this, but a quick look seems to indicate that Lifx is a better bulb overall is not slightly more expensive

It's there a minimum spend?
Maybe that is why the code works for some people?

Can anybody explain why these warrant the price? Using an app to switch a light on seems excessive to me and I'm a heavy phone user...

Wish I didn't get hue bulbs. Not suitable for my requirements but I spent so much on them that I'm stuck with them. Pretty pathetic how they default to same colour when turned on.

I've just bought the started kit reduced from 60 to 45 with this code. Is this set that much better it's worth the extra £30?
seaniboy to 2015
1 Feb 171#36
If you can afford the colour set at £112odd with the 25% off get it. I don't get the white, unless you want to turn lights on off via a app when out its just a dimmer on a bulb really.

Bought lots of these last week. Absolutely brilliant. Purchased the colour starter set, a couple of white bulbs and the light strip. Works lovely with an echo dot. Go for the colour starter kit if you can afford it. That's the best value deal.

Hue - more choice with bulbs and accessories, some very good 3rd party software support and a powerful and open API from Philips if 3rd party software is not enough.

I know they do bayonet to E27 but I can't see E14 adapters?
shakerstevens
1 Feb 17#46
The normal white yes I agree with you but the white ambiance is much better, it has a large range of whites like blue white, sunset hue whites etc. Brilliant for waking you up in the morning with a soft glow and easy on the eyes at night, and if you want to read something in bright light then those options exist too, plus all the dimmer options on each ambiance setting.
seaniboy
1 Feb 17#47
Can you set the white ambiance ones to sync to sunrise times ?
shakerstevens
2 Feb 17#48
I'm not sure if it can be set to the actual sunrise (although with a link to a weather app I'm sure it can), however I set mine to mimmick sunrise at 7am (wilst it is still dark outside this time of year), it fades in over a 30 minute period to help you wake up, similar to how the "SAD" lamps work. It really helps in the morning - more often than not I wake up naturally now with the help of the light, rather than waiting for my normal alarm clock to go off (which before getting the philips hue ambiance system was the only thing that would wake me up!)

I sleep with the curtains open but find that not foolproof in the UK, esp as you said in winter lol. Thats what I was thinking with the available apps on IFTTT.com could it mimic as per outside, I have loads of streetlights of various white shades and find it harder to sleep with the curtains open.

25% off Freemans with new accounts & possible 12 months buy now pay later, or Argos 25% off which you already know of :laughing:
Thanks OP, I missed the offer from last week. Hopefully they are of the G3 type.

Argos don't appear to sell single white ambience bulbs. Also next to no stock across the range in the Sheffield region. Shame as was after three white bulbs and some sensors.

It all works really nicely with Amazon Echo - in my opinion anyway. One thing I would like though is an app to control groups of HA stuff. A bit like the apple Home app but obviously so much stuff isn't compatible with homekit. With alexa I can say "turn on downstairs" and all my downstairs lights from different manufacturers come on. Would be nice to be able to control that from an app. anyone seen one?

I bought the starter kit last week and really want the light strips set but can't justify buying it just yet. :disappointed:
No where really to put them apart from kitchen but that's falling apart at the moment and in need of fixing. Sigh.

That's the thing, I'd want the Striplight for the TV Unit! Can't bring myself to drop like £150 on it though!!

That was my plan B but my toddler is a little monster and keeps on pushing and pulling the TV (it's hanging on the wall), so can't see them surviving. :disappointed:
Hopefully in a few years?? :man:
I didn't realise nectar points could be used though!! :smirk:

In the short term you could just get an colour changing LED strip with remote that you get on eBay. Around £5-£10 and seem pretty good. Ideal world Hue but the strips are stupid prices.

Great spot OP.
Am tempted to buy this and sell the hub as I don't need another.
Hmm ponder........

Would love the lightstrip one day but as others say its very expensive.
Would most likely have it behind the TV so may as well wait until I need a new TV one day and buy a Philips Ambilight TV which can then be synced to your Hue set up and apps !

is this the right convertor ??
Does this mean I need 2 x Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus 2m LED Light Strips Kits? And 6 x 1m extensions?
If money is a issue 2x2m..
£150 - 25% = £112.50 with possible 0% 12 months here http://www.freemans.com/products/connected-home/philips-hue-lightstrips-plus-2m-uk/_/A-41R641_

Argoscard should offer 6 months 0% on £97.48
