Got some of these last time, they look great :)

Good price - been looking for some of these for my driveway! Thanks for sharing, I'll be nipping to my local t'Asda tomorrow :)

Stop being silly mate, a Chiron is a stretch for us HUKDealers :D

It's ok, if you hang on a couple of weeks I hear there's a Chiron deal dropping

Heat Shame there's no class 2 lights.

Get this to match your P20 Pro!

Can’t believe I missed a Veyron deal :/

Weeee oooooo weeeee oooooo weeeee ooooo

£15.99 on Amazon: Amazon link

Aha. Yes. Its not now and the sensors hardly triggered. I have to just and wave my hand in front of the sensor to light it. Lol

Sorry I can't say. I had a look at mine when someone commented that the sensor was adjustable but mine seems to be fixed, I can't rotate it horizontally to direct it in a different direction. It is fine for me so not much of a help, sorry.

Iv got it installed but it only detects from a couple of meters away. Which direction do I need to turn the sensor to have it at its maximum range? Thanks

I'm not sure sensitivity adjustments are particularly useful on these, especially considering that at lower temperatures I think they will be more sensitive (because the difference between body and ambient temperature is greater). You need to adjust the detection area. I have prevented mine from lighting up when someone walks past by masking the upper part of the dome with tape, so that it can only "see" at quite a steep angle downwards.

No fuglier than any other PIR light - and in fact less fugly than most, because it's smaller.

A screw ins no good for me ...do they have the other sort..I cant see any? (annoyed)

The price!

Much cheaper than Phillips Hue then. What is the difference?

there is now a newer version of the one you linked, but is still pretty expensive. If/when it drops below 10 gbp it is a buy for me :)

I picked up this one last year. It works with Alexa with the Fire Stick voice remote. Also works via the Fire TV remote app.

I actually like the way the Philips hue bulb behaves as a dumb bulb would. Grandparents over a month ago didn’t know about the hue lights and pressed the normal light switch to work the likes. Didn’t need to mention or explain anything about smart home/gadgets. The hue bulbs set themselves to normal light bulb shade and brightness when switch on like that which is also good. However having a Philips hue dimmer switch on the wall is even better. And again doesnt need explaining to the grandparents as it on the wall in the ‘right’ place and looks self explanatory. With ours you can take the switch off the wall (they have magnets) and put it by your bedside or sofa and use as a remote control should you want Not to worry, access to the original light switch is still available as in picture above. Looking forward to the proper Philips hue light switches for uk fittings this summer hopefully

Thanks, and no, not yet at least! Ideally you don't use the wall switch. If you switch it off at the wall, there's no other way of turning the bulb on. And if you turn it back on at the wall, unless you use something smart to turn the bulb on as well, the bulb might not light up anyway. You can get covers to go over the wall switch that stop you using the wall switch, but have a slot for a smart switch like the Philips Hue Dimmer switch. (The Dimmer switches are also on 3 for 2.) They're the ones @idiophreak is talking about. To stop people switching it off at the wall accidentally, you can either retrofit or replace. To retrofit, you can use those covers (best), "switch guards" (very good and fairly cheap, they just stick on and stop you absent-mindedly using the wall switch but let you turn them off using a tool or credit-card-sized-card), or just tape over it (ugly but effective). To replace, you can either get someone to remove the switch and wire it direct (not ideal because it's a nightmare to change bulbs) or put a key-operated switch (like you see for emergency lighting in commercial premises. There are other smart switches that integrate directly with Hue, from Philips (like the "Philips Hue Tap Switch") and third parties, and there are other more interesting options like using Android tablets / iPads, or systems like the Logitech Pop. Also depending on your requirements, you might not need a physical switch at all. The motion sensors are supposed to be brilliant (and are on 3 for 2), and Hue works well with Google Home Mini's and / or Amazon Echo Dots if you prefer voice control. I mainly just use my smartphone though!

Yes, you can...but you'll need to turn it back on at the wall before you can control it smartly again. They do sell retrofit light switches that you can stick next to (or in some cases over) your light switch if you want to have a physical switch whilst still enabling smart control...

I just added a Hue controller to my Plex server so it automatically turns the lights off when playing a film, puts them on dim when it’s paused and turns them back on when the movie is over. It’s as sad as it is awesome, I love it.

Wow what a fantastic comprehensive explanation.... Do you work for Philips?! Can you still switch off at the wall with the normal switch?

Sorry Dad. I'll do it tomorrow after work as tonight I must watch Portugal - Spain :)

Gonna cut the grass kid?!

Check photos in previous comm.They are excelent for 5£. I would pay more than 5£ on them

Post pictures now of them switched on.

Not bright as these things always use the old first style less which were very dim. I don't know why I can't find these types of lights that use the newer surface mount LEDs which take the same power but a much brighter.

He actually has Alopecia and so it's a wig. Still, having said that... :(

I was going say the same exact thing...

I've had this lamp for several months and can testify to it's quality. You can adjust the light intensity and also the colour from relaxing warm tungsten to vivid daylight white.

Poor kid. Look at his haircut.

Bought another version of these lamps previously on here. for someone. She loves it. Not sure if this one has a shutdown/switch off timer

Yes - should be expired

I see loads of iPhones with blown IC chips because of cheap cables like these used...

Not showing as 62p, cheapest is $1.49.

But I will not be charging my devices with picture? The known entity as in 363km down the road from where these are made, that sells them for £19.. this is a deal for a cable not a political stance or book on cheap labour tactic employers! Got anker and agree, also got rock also and have had zero instances of error / heat / over charging or otherwise, in fact the rock transports the i/o on one of our drones better than the £29 apple pro cable!!! No raining needed, love a good bit of input, if its about what is actually written in the deal, so thanks for the comment! The only device not tried one of these ((shorter ones)) on is an earlier apple device, as in 2016> as have none, so also agree on the original apple cables are rubbish sometimes debate, hence why I am happy paying $1 for a decent one like these <3

Whilst these cables may be cheap, from experience, buy cheap, buy twice. Even the Apple cables can be poor at times. The only brand I’ve actually had success with the last 2 or 3 years is Anker. Decent quality, not let me down (yet!); although I appreciate all makes are prone to failure sometime. Sorry @bitcoin5 , not meaning to rain on your parade!

The ebay listing at £59.99 is for 2x2m lengths though (i.e. 2 packs); compared to the current gen of lightstrips which are 2m for £69.99. :) Thanks for posting Chestertom; I missed the Amazon deal yesterday on the starter set, but got it at the same price here :)

True but the ebay seller is not telling the truth as it is not 50% off. On Amazon there is not even a sale and it is just 10 pounds more.

Both are gen1 lightsrips.

I just bought the light strips, just noticed the same ones on Amazon for 69 pounds LOL https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-First-Generation-LightStrips-Lighting/dp/B00IVZZ9J8

Truth. I am spending my time to add good deals to members of HUKD and almost all the time I can see that deal is not good. Sorry not everything is for free. even 10% discount is good and without HUKD you will not know about this.
