Bulb Deals & Offers

I think you could possibly be mistaken here pal. A halogen GU10 fitting will power up an LED GU10 no probs. The clue is on the fitting GU10. Unless of course you don't have GU10s. More probably 12v halogens which are not mains GU10s.

You're talking about something else, not GU10 bulbs

That usually be mr16, not gu10

Transformers for 12v downlighters typically don't support the low current draw that LED bulbs use and will usually either not work at all, flicker or flash, and may also not support dimming at all.

LED is the only sensible choice in 2019! I have taken working halogens to be recycled. I also like that LEDs can be any shade of white you want even though most shops still sell them at 2700K (i.e. warm white).,

Seems like the new gen has a 230 beam angle rather then 180 and looks werid.

This is a great deal. Just note that they are the lower 50w equivalent models LB100 instead of the 60w equivalent LB110. I see there is a new generation model out now too, no idea what changes have been made. And yes the TP-Link bulbs come with an ES to BC Adapter.

Voted hot! This may be some sort of special bulb, my deal, Philips Hue twin pack for £15 went freezing cold.

I bought some (a different model) and it comes with another adapter inside the pack. If the screw type doesnt fit the lamp, the other fitting will.

Probably, as light pendants are practically free

Fingers crossed it stays that way for you.

Had 2 of them for 6 months, no issues whatsoever.

You are lucky, Amazon have said that there are major issues with them and they may have to pull them for a while if they cant get to the botton of the issue. I bought mine last October and had it replaced in November and then again in December and then again in January and then in March.

I've had these since last year, no issues at all.

There’s a deal on prime with a free Phillips hue bulb

So I found the problem - the BT whole hime has a known issue where it randomly blocks or pauses devices - sometimes even when they are wired (and not connected to WiFi at all). The fix seems to be to check the devices page in the app and 'forget' the devices - which unpauses them.

I’m new to smart bulbs. Is this the cheapest sort of price for a smart bulb or are there cheaper and maybe simpler ones around?

Do these go dimmer than the Gen 1 bulbs?

I've found a fix. Temporarily rename your BT Whole Home SSID to something else and enable and rename your router's SSID to whatever your usual network SSID name is. Then add the Yeelights to the Yee app again. After they're working in the Yee app, rename everything back to how it was and they should remain connected to the 2.4ghz band of your network emitted by the BT Whole Home Devices. Hope that helps.

60p to buy £60 to run

Thank you for the info. Please provide the link for members (highfive)

I'm fairly sure Home-bargains also have the exact same kit for similar money if anyone needs one without the Amazon minimum £20 spend.

Need only one

Thank you @Proveright (y)

Thanks OP

If you order today you may receive in a month. So rubbish

Alternatively unsubscribe from their emails or mark as junk.

DON'T BUY from T&M, they will spam you with endless emails you cannot stop.

Thanks OP I Love it!!!

Hot deal, often available at this sort of price from warehouse though

To be fair, I don't think its a bad deal, probably suffers from being E27 bulbs (mostly bayonet in the UK), and that the Black Friday deal was so good, its hard not to compare - £90 minus the switch, but did include an Echo Dot 3rd Gen (time machine required).

Thanks, upon seeing HotUKDeals unanimous verdict that this is cold, I cancelled my order.

I've purchase a 'as new' E27 Hue bulb from Amazon, and it arrived completely dead. Fortunately Philips Hue support is excellent, and a fortnight later, I received a brand new replacement. So just be cautious of Amazon's description, as clearly my 'as new' item was never tested.

Just like the many Hue deals, this is vastly overpriced. :{

This 'deal' is shocking...

£109 for 3 light bulbs hahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahajajajajajajjajajajajajjajajajajajajahahahhahahahahahahahjajajajajajajhahaha

Cold.... there are much better deals for good quality colour changing smart bulbs...e.g. Costo sell 2 x BC with ES27 adapters for £35.99 by Feit Electric.. https://www.costco.co.uk/Electronics-Security/Smart-Technology/Smart-Lighting/Feit-Smart-WiFi-LED-A60-Colour-Changing-Light-Bulb-2-Pack/p/272807.

I’d rather poke my eyes out

Also note that filament LEDs have a different radiation pattern from other types of bulb: they do not produce much light from the end. This is likely to be a problem if they're used in pendant fittings.

I'd normally agree but bear in mind that these are for special fittings so you can't swap to an LED - you'd have to change the whole fitting.

These used to be so expensive,we bought a new house I years ago and every fitting we're for these.heat for the current price tho.

Wattage: 10W / Equivalent Wattage: 10W... XD

Voted hot. But better to change these and put led bulb instead . These do not last very long and full of mercury.

12V. Just replace like with like. MR16 LED as found at Screwfix. https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-gu5-3-mr16-led-light-bulb-345lm-4-5w-5-pack/6917p

No I have non dimmable halogen 35w mr16 but just want to replace with gu10 led non dimmable. From what I read, I need to remove the housing fittings (clip bulb holder thingy) and replace with new one for led. Seen some on sale screwfix and Wickes bulb and housing combined so if I disconnect mr16 one and connect gu10 one will it just work or do I need transformers/led drivers etc

If you just want MR16 , dimmable or not, look at Screwfix.

You want dimmable MR16? Is that your goal? MR16 run at 12V generally. GU10 generally are mains voltage. Also inset MR16 will stick out if you use some sort of converter.

Good deal. Heat added! For the hall, you probably don't need Ambience. Ambience is adjustable colour temperature (warm reddish white, cold bluish white). I'd have thought you'd be better off with a the cheaper plain white kit saving you a tenner.

Yes definitely, even just for the visitors.

I feel like i need to buy a Dimmer but don’t think I will use it as we just use the phone or ask Alexa to change it. Are they good to have?

that wasn't my intention :) this was

I get it. This is what you think a tissue looks like. Again, wrong item.

Dimmers and LED lamps often don't play nicely together, particularly touch lamps.

(lol)

Understandable from a guy who's got "Fire" and "Ice" round the wrong way. :/

Yes I did but the picture shows a bayonet which is what made me click on the post ;)

You do realise the OP has posted both ES and BC?
