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

I need to put the lightstrips along the underside of our kitchen units (2.4m) and around the top of the extractor (6.6m) above the island.

Does this mean I need 2 x Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus 2m LED Light Strips Kits? And 6 x 1m extensions?

Probably staff discount.

Try Yonomi http://yonomi.co/supported-devices/. Works with quite a few devices (though not all of them). Depends what devices you have.

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 !

Great spot OP.

Am tempted to buy this and sell the hub as I don't need another.

Hmm ponder........

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.

​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:

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

Just got this for £44 in store, code was not working but they authorised it, used sainsburys discount plus nectar points :smiley:

​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.

Then you SHOULD!...

I have an Amazon Echo too, which is why I WANT to start purchasing the Hue Lights system.

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?

One of these items which I really WANT but don't NEED :man: I have stock in my local area but just can't justify it yet :disappointed:

Struggling to find any stock where I live :disappointed:

so I can add coloured bulbs and light strips now I have the hub right ? any good deals on them ?

Yes it is!

Someone in this forum seems to think that Philips will be releasing ses hue bulbs in week 14 of 2017..?! https://developers.meethue.com/content/e14-hue-whitecolour-bulb would be good!

Thanks I went with these in the end https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KFJ8Q7K/ref=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item

Thanks. On their website they only list bayonet to edison screw adaptors. I've now ordered some from amazon.

Thanks used to code to buy 2 hive bulbs. Code worked a treat

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.

Hive or Hue? I'm confused

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.

Thanks OP, I missed the offer from last week. Hopefully they are of the G3 type.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B003GSK5O4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486019816&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=bulb%2Badapter&dpPl=1&dpID=31Ppy8JG7NL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1

is this the right convertor ??

Hoping this will work in store tomorrow.

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.

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!)

Can you set the white ambiance ones to sync to sunrise times ?

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.

I know they do bayonet to E27 but I can't see E14 adapters?

Home Bargains also have them cheap

Anyone have any recommendations for e27 to e14 adaptors for hue?

Nice deal! bagged this set and the £5 off from my order last week was still working :smiley: Hub to ebay!

Worked for me, thanks.

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?

Thanks OP, 2m strip Fast Tracked to go with my £112odd Starter Kit. Heat.

Trying to find a store with 2 x 1m extension lol they all have 1 available :disappointed:

thanks, ordered colour kit for £112.49 and code did worked and quidco tracked £1.12

Hi all sorry if asked but does these work with Alexa?

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.

Where do you out the code in ??

Worked for me, just bought light strip and starter kit ... Heat added

Where do you put the code in ??

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...

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

One available at Morecambe if anybody near.

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

Do these work with an Echo?

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Ridiculous tempted to switch to Hue but can't quite justify it...

no dimmer available on its own

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.

10£ voucher on 100£ expired yesterday :neutral_face:

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

Heat added, confirmed working - just bought the white kit for £45, bargain!

Not working for TP-Link products ☹️

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

Confirmed code working again!! Thank you for this

Just like to add that I tried the code with various philips hue products and it worked every time.. Good luck
