    No Norn Iron delivery either.

    JohnLewis has it also for that price, no IRl delivery but it seems to accept parcel motel address. Is it risky with them, given the size and value. So tempting

    Amazon.de have it at €1299 if that makes it any more tempting and there complaints/returns policy should be good.

    They are, and for £50 your getting 3m of lightstrip. They aint much to look at when they come out of the box, but set them up right, and they become feature lights in a room.

    If you want to go through the German site the 3m are €52.99

    Crikey 65" LG OLEDs for €1800! That is outstanding for that size and quality. Doesn't ship to Ireland though, but it is looking like the era of OLED is here.

    I'm looking at all these deals thinking "I don't need any more Hue Lights"

    "But What if I bought this?"

    "It'd only need 6 E14 bulbs!!"

    that would be a good disco light, add it to the entertainment group...

    Didn't need any bulbs either but have bought 2x 3m strip deals, a 3x B22 colour ambiance deal and a white starter pack from woodies...

    Google Home Mini + 2 x Hue Colour B22 + Hue bridge for £79:

    https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/smart-tech/smart-tech/smart-home/smart-lighting/philips-hue-white-and-colour-ambiance-mini-smart-bulb-b22-starter-kit-google-home-mini-charcoal-bundle-10187625-pdt.html

    Excellent deal. Note they also have the same deal but with E27 bulbs and different Mini colours.

    Just about to push the button on this Currys UK deal - but it says not available for Delivery - any bright ideas or options ?

    nah, when you're already all in on Hue, (about 48 currently active bulbs), you're only ever looking at ways to add more!!

    I tend to just change a bulb at a time and let on it been like that for a while....or I bought them ages ago and only getting around to fitting them and the ones that are being fitted are actually free as they came with the other six:D

    Ah sorry, it was available for delivery when I bought it!

    If you are interested I actually have a pack of Echo Dot + Hue Bridge + 2 x Hue E27 colour bulbs coming for £80 that I don't need now *. I was going to send it back, but if you want it you can have it for that price, save me shipping it back. No problem at all if your not interested, just if it helps you out. If a better deal for you comes up, go for it.

    * Long story, I ordered this deal, then I saw the one on Currys and ordered that too, then went back to amazon to try and cancel the first order, but turns out the Dot had already dispatched and I couldn't cancel. The bulbs haven't actually shipped yet and no indication of when they will yet! But I can return them when they do, just a bit of a pain.

    If anyone else decides they don’t want it I’d also happily price match and pay shipping. Looked at it during the night when up with the newborn but it was gone by the time I got to talk to my other half about it
