Why don't you wait and see how you get on with Alexa, and put the wedding on hold? I've found her very responsive with setting timers, turning lights on and off, and changing the radio station. Could be a real bargain.

Tado Smart Radiator Valves almost half price. From £60 -> £35. Great price for these given the exchange rate

You still have to shout at her a few times to get what you want though :pac:

Cancelled my order. Decided to order google home instead.
Herself might be able to tell that to turn on netflix's on Chromecast instead of ordering me around

I've my wishlist loaded onto camelcamelcamel.com and it noticed the price change, I thought it was a mistake too when I logged on and saw the higher price, it's just out of stock right now so showing the next available one.. but the price still stands so I put the order in!

Optimus Prime · 30-08-2017 08:16AM

sweet, i managed to get an order in too thanks a lot. i must check out camelcamelcamel.com ! never used it.

Gareth Keenan · 30-08-2017 08:20AM

same, got the camelcamelcamel alert, clicked the link, saw full price, looked again, saw £28, ordered, came on here to post about it

How's the Bloom compared to the Go?

Identical features vis a vis working with Hue bridges. The Go is slightly larger size, and is 6W vs the Bloom's 8W. The Go can be run on rechargeable battery for a few hours (so you could take it outside), the Bloom is wired. The Go is a kind of bowl shape, the Bloom is angled. The Go has a few preprogrammed moods accessible via a button on it, the Blooms doesn't. THE BLOOM IS £28 WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

skerry · 30-08-2017 08:42AM

Is this deal still available lads? In work so can't check properly at the minute.

AndyBoBandy · 30-08-2017 08:43AM

Their already gone at that price on Amazon!!

put in the basket on the iPhone, went up 10 minutes later to buy on desktop and it was gone!

So have a Go behind the TV in the game room but was thinking the Bloom might be better at that.

Yes, 100% better,

a GO sends light in all directions, a Bloom sends light 1 direction (away from your TV onto your back wall.

Well in that case, I'm going to put a positive spin on this and say I've just saved myself £28

Wonder was this en error or do they generally drop to this price range, can't remember what price they were down to in the Prime sale recently.

roosterman71 · 30-08-2017 09:25AM

Seems to be back to the normal price now

OU812 · 30-08-2017 09:30AM

Balls, been looking for one for ages at the right price.
B&Q had them at £28 last week marked at clearance. I wonder if they're bringing out a revised one

roosterman71 · 30-08-2017 11:09AM

Deal is back! £28 for the bloom again

Behind the TV is a great place for them, otherwise somewhere out of sight so you just get the effect

If you have an Philips Ambilight TV, you can use this to enhance the effect behind your TV by using the Ambilight & Hue app.

No ambilight on mine, but I'll give it a go anyway
