And the picture shows a version 1 bridge, is that what's on offer?

This kit includes 2x Hue Lux E25 bulbs and 1x bridge.
I have the v2 bridge and if all it does is siri, don't bother, the Siri support is garbage. Mugged me off too many times in front of people, makes you look stupid

Having said that, I would heartily agree! She has been useless and slow, and frequently has to apologise "Sorry, I didn't hear back"! iOS 10 seems to have improved things a little.

The v1 works fine, saw a YouTube video with it all operational

It's available online. It's almost guaranteed to be V1
