Got my Bloom yesterday too. Kind of disappointed I didn't buy a second. It's a great little light.

Got mine today. Lovely little backlight. Have it setup behind the TV. Seamless integration with Google Home too.

My 2 Blooms arrived today.

Kudos to whoever posted the deal way back in the mists of time.

Might get this for the parents so that they can control lights when out and set timers when away. They currently use smart plugs but this is just for lamps. Was looking at IKEA but this seems ok price and give them more security lights will come on in the house when they are out as a deterrent.

There was an option on their old app to set random lights but when out of the house is the best option just choose routine.

Parents have no requirement for coloured lights and I don't want to go into a red light room there

Oh god I feel another splurge coming on!!

Thread going on HUKD about Argos UK selling the Echo Dots for £34.99 from Wednesday. Other posters claiming it's a "14 days of deals" thing with the Google Home also being reduced down to £79.99 at some stage.

Not sure if it'll be replicated in Argos IE though

Philips Hue White B22 Twin Pack is €34.99 delivered.

Code lmvnh (-15%) at checkout knocks price down to €29.74

No bargain of the century but not bad.

Philips Hue White Single LED E27 Light Bulb, Works with Alexa, 9.5 W [Energy Class A+] 750* lumen, dimmable
£9.99 from Amazon.co.uk
"the lowest price we've seen on this product" — camelcamelcamel

£10.25 each at checkout ... Rep. Ireland VAT?

*Says '750' lumen on above Amazon page. Purchased one of these (Philips Hue White Single LED E27 Light Bulb) in 2016 ... says '806 lumen' on bulb.

Yes, totally normal for shopping on amazon. Expect to pay a little extra then advertised on the main page. Usually still works out cheaper then buying in Ireland, etc.

Maplin might be the better offer. Free shipping and a £5/£10 voucher. Can’t find anything on the Maplin website outlining the T&Cs of the voucher

That's a great price, I'd nearly be tempted to get a second one but I bought a Tado smart thermostat yesterday so might just go for a Home Mini for £35 and see how that works out.

Mini ordered for myself, Home for a friend looking for one

What mobile number are people using? Currys and Argos won't accept my Irish one. Do you just use a random one?
