And the picture shows a version 1 bridge, is that what's on offer?
Edited by: "paulj48" 25th Sep 2016
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

Version 1 is not 'HomeKit' compatible (if you need that) and also version 1 bulbs are a lot dimmer that the newer version 2 bulbs
