Philips Deals & Offers

Usually close to £50 each

Cheaper then usual? Cheaper than usual.

Don't see why not. I'm ordering so basically it'll be cash in hand if collected. Buyer will know exactly what I've paid as it is on Amazon to see. Just saves someone a few £££s It's £11 saved per bulb :D

I'm not sure that is allowed but I think it's a great idea.

Anyone local to me in Blyth want to share in buying 6 I'll order. It works out £22.64 per bulb. 3 for me and 3 for you. I'm in Blyth, Northumberland. It'll work out £67.93 for 3 each.

I ordered previously but now going to return them for free and ordered again with lower price :)

Why not just use the sunset to sunrise hue function for the hallway ones? Then the lights will come on when it gets dark and go off when it gets light. That's what I'm doing so no need for a sensor. Plus now you can set up your own scenes so I have mine set up at 30% brightness so it's not super bright but not dull either.

Fair enough, if it was just a few fixed areas you be better with smart dimmers at the switch and far cheaper dumb dimmable bulbs but your case sounds more suited to these (y) Do note these are a lot dimmer at full brightness than normal GU10s though and Ikea's ones may be a better bet.

The room is a single switch with 13 lights so would be good to be able to zone and set lights, the room is big 4m x 10m and is mult-zone use. The other four are in an office, I'd just assumed I'd go Hue unless there is a better reason - was thinking the colour ambience ones but they're mad expensive. Oh and may add 4 more on a motion sensor in the hallway....

Well that's £70 I wasn't planning to spend. I only need 4 too! Damn this site! (lol)

Yes you are right Samsung do that, and also do it on same model like 55m6400 I read somewhere.

Not always the case though, 49inch mu7000 and the 55inch mu7000 use completely diffrenet panels

Philips TVs have a 2 year warranty as standard.

COLD, only 1 year warranty

Thanks. What do you think of the Smart OS? Is it anywhere near as good as LG's or Samsung's, what's the lag like, does it have the main apps including the Smart IPTV app etc? Good, credible reviews for this TV are not easy to come by. Thanks in advance.

Cheers for the heads up chaps. Been waiting for this one to drop a little in price after endless research. Ended up buying from Amazon in the end and it’s just been delivered (y)

I've got this. I took an age to choose it reading review after review then waiting for the price to drop. I think I paid a little more than this but I'm very happy with it.

Also available from Amazon directly if you don't live near by: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-Beard-Stubble-Trimmer-Blades/dp/B015IU8SSW/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1529222178&sr=8-1&keywords=BT5200 I use this for my beard and to tidy up my bald head :) - its decent

Very nice find; thanks for sharing @NUFC4

Not as far as I can tell after one night of using them (y)

I've tried other brands and seem to get a 'strobe' effect, so if you move your hand in front of your face it looks really odd, light itself seems odd. Apparently it's when cheap drivers/chips are used. Do these have the same issue?

Grabbed the last 4 at my local - cheers

These are mains voltage capsules. Not low voltage. No transformers required. Just a straight swap. The G4 halogen capsules are low voltage and they do need a transformer and if you wanted to convert them to LEDs you'd need to swap the transformer out for an LED Driver.

I thought leas weren't compatible with most transformers?

The Go is much better, worth paying the little extra for those.

Showing as a bit less in my basket, £98.31.

I have the iris, and I use it every day, it's worth the money https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008B4DC7K/ref=psdc_248562031_t2_B00KDG58BC

The new ios app is really annoying when picking a colour. Much better the old way.

Will wait for prime day i think. Hot deal though.

Ordered and delivered today.

thanks a lot. I think I will wait for prime day

I have ordered. See if it’s anygood

These are overpriced at the moment. I agree that around £46.99 is a fair price.

Good Spot, however I’ve a feeling these will drop in price again (Prime Day). Cammel Cammel is showing the cheapiest they’ve been as £46.99 so this is overdue.

Was a bit miffed I missed last weeks £14.99 price reduction on the Hue dimmer switches but I just got 3 for £13.33 each! Heat added for the 3-for-2 deal.

Any tips for getting the GU10s cheap :)

A tip that someone else shared in another thread is to buy E27's along with a pack of B22 to E27 adapters @ £5 for 5 (decent ones). In the Warehouse you'll often find E27's much cheaper than B22's - Just need to check back often ;-) E.g. i picked up a single E27 for £7 when the same B22 was £12.50

They changed the price during the evening... I kicked off at them as I need b22 ... same bulb in every way except why type of light it goes into and they refused to match the 3 for 2 offer! By time they called me back the price had gone up and they added the 3 for 2 on to the b22 based on my feedback (annoyed) needless to say I wasn’t happy. I have 6 bulbs coming on Tuesday lol.

This twin pack comes up as £70.18 for me "Dispatched from and sold by Amazon"

Did the email come tho?

thanks, will wait and see when the email rolls in

It did that for me with 15 % off then when the email came though it was 25%

thanks, only comes up with 15% for me when i click the icon tho

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?

thanks op, ordered, juicer on the way, chopper due to be delivered in july

Ordered - thanks for sharing - heat added.

All 8 that were in stock now sold but still allowing pre-orders.

Thanks op,orderd and heat added

yes i currently use the built in light bulbs and it works a treat .once its covered up it doesnt work as well

The main difference seems to be that the sensor in that eBay link is actually built into the bulb itself, whereas the the product on the deal posted is a standalone device which you can position anywhere and then assign a bulb or a number of bulbs to it or rules. It’s a smart system if you will. Most people may like a smart system but the price of such things is prohibitive. I like the idea of the bulb with sensor and will try to think of a place in my house where it might work. Maybe a porch where the light is useful as you approach, although again the bulb will be pointing up with the fitting obscuring sections It may work in my upstairs or downstairs landings because the light fixture, although it would point the bulb along the ceiling towards the wall, and then covered by the shade, it may have enough beam to catch things. See picture. But also I wouldn’t like to use it because it would t fit into my particular set up as I have Philips hue system

for those who use it on the landing. whats the differcence between that and something like this ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5W-7W-9W-LED-PIR-Motion-Sensor-Auto-Bulb-Infrared-Energy-Saving-Light-Lamp/323212067601?hash=item4b40f0c311:m:mLpGjmji-H1XBKkzkwDwOFQ

I have had one in the hall for 9 months and only just replaced the 2 x aaa batteries. They are good

Thank you very much. Great info and just configured on mine. Do you know if you can create any alerts/automation temperature related? Would love to turn a fan on if getting hot

Sadly the ikea stuff is a disappointing option. I got some of the £7 GU10s and the light just doesn't suit all spaces - too warm for our kitchen. The £12 ones may be better, but the bulbs themselves are physically ugly and won't fit in a lot of recessed downlight fittings. There are some cheap innr ones on amazon, but people complain about buzzing... The amazon deal today lets you get the proper white Hue GU10s for £14 each...so I've ordered a dozen for the kitchen :)

After selling the hubs I paid £20 each for coloured. I don't remember a deal on the whites. If you just want whites get Samsung smartthings and a fibaro dimmer and wire the relay in to the socket. Would only cost £50 per light switch plus £100 for smartthings starter pack if it goes on offer again. Another option would be to use the IKEA stuff.

Is there much chance the white GU10's will be cheaper on prime day? Havent followed HUE so not sure on price history. But considering wether to pull the trigger on 18 GU10's @ current price.

Sorry, cold, it's all cheaper on Amazon and Argos. Annoyingly I need another 3 GU10 colour and I know the best thing to do is wait until prime day next month grrrrr....

Just looked at Amazon at the GU10 dual pack - looks like they have. £42.40 instead of £49.99 - with 3 for 2 offer

I have one with lcd screen . Bought two years ago for £48.

The shaver itself was only £36 yesterday, although that didn't include the case or spare blades. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/philips-oneblade-pro-electric-trimmer-qp6510-36-with-code-all-beauty-2953625#comment-33965459

Agree the dimmers are nicer for daily use and better value but you can't configure them to activate a lot of the labs scenes.

I use these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Philips-Hue-Dimmer-Remote-UK-Light-Switch-Adapter-Cover/253647681892?hash=item3b0e947964:g:ZQEAAOSwTM5Y19zp

Yes, Smartthings and the relevant DTH.

i dont like the design of the dimmer itself, i picked this up from argos a couple of weeks ago when it was 24 i think it was. It isn't worth the full price but im not totally fussed about what 'more' the dimmer can do. When the dimmers are made for UK size switches ill get some more of them.

How are you using your Xiaomi buttons? Have you got Samsung Smartthings or some other device to communicate with Hue network?

I got three!

I have to laugh every time I hear the "device connected"

Ordered online on Monday but still hasn't arrived. Received an email on Tuesday to say that it was on pre-order so guess it may get cancelled like a few others have. (:I

In carphone warehouse today in Harrow. None instore but they ordered one online for me(only black).

Has anyone who ordered online had theirs delivered yet? I got an order confirmation on Tuesday, but haven't had any delivery confirmation yet. I'm a bit concerned I might miss out as I see a poster above had an online order refunded. It's annoying if all those in the shops have gone while I've been waiting. I'm going to London tomorrow so if I get the chance I will check if their are any left in any stores.
