Considering the bridge alone is £49.99 currently on Amazon I thought this might be a good deal! :smile:

Have a desire to pretend you live in a fairground? Have a fascination for the coloured lights of Blackpool?
Just spend £25 a bulb.
Just don't understand the fascination for this overpriced nonsense.

They're white bulbs. Are you lonely?

£25 each and they don't even do colours? My word...

Says the poster who posted a deal for a 550 quid graphics card! You literally couldn't make it up, could you? :thinking:

Don't understand why people comment on a deal that's no interest to them ?

Don't understand why people comment on comments that they don't understand.

Why does the hub need to be connected by Ethernet ? I cant get it to work by wifi ? Surely it connects to the bulbs by wifi

No it doesn't connect to the bulbs with WiFi. It uses a wireless standard called ZigBee.

Connect the hub by ethernet, then each bulb connects to the hub using a fairly new wireless IoT protocol standard known as Zigbee. Each bulb will not only communicate back to the hub using Zigbee, it will also repeat said signal onto the next bulb by creating a mesh network. This makes the range of Zigbee much better than that of your bog standard WiFi. It means you can have a Hue bulb in say your 5th bedroom on the other side of the house talking to the hub through bulbs in the 3rd bedroom, living room, then finally router.

Zigbee has been around since just before WiFi. :thumbsup:

It connects to bulbs via ZigBee, not WiFi. Ethernet is required for software updates, remote control, integration with some other home devices.

Very tempted, but I know I will need to get at least two coloured bulbs so the 3 bulbs and hub pack for £120 still looks like the best bet for me.

Better go for the WiFi linked colour Yeelight, got one under a tenner, and no hub required!

I have both. I find that the Yeelight colour intensity is comparable to Hue bulbs but the white light is too dim to light a room.

Are these white light or yellow light?
Waldolf to insom
22 Sep 17#18
These are warm white and dimmable only. They are not the ambiance white bulbs which can change from warm to cool white.

When they dropped the price on a projector I was told by support to return it and order a new one. They even paid for the return fee. Seems fairly stupid to me, taking in a used product they can't sell for full price just to price match, but that's what their support person said I had to do. I guess they are hoping people are too lazy to bother?
