Tried the Woodies in Kilkenny but couldn't find any €3 bulbs

but picked up (what I think) was the last Hue Iris for €50 so happy enough with that!

Philips hue range not reduced in Woodies Blanchardstown. There was a lot of Philips downlighters reduced...half price I think but not hue. There wasn't a lot of hue stock either.

I picked up some bulbs and remotes from Woodies in Lucan still marked at full price but was 50% off at the till. Still had 3/4 remote/bulb combos left and a few starter packs too.
edit:
Just to note that these aren't in the lighting section but in a security/automation one beside the paints! Was the same spot in Woodies Naas Rd but they only had starter packs left.

Only a handful of starter kits left at Carrickmines, €56

Nothing else

mickthewig · 08-11-2018 10:24AM

Anyone spot any deals on light switches with a built-in PIR? I think they're called occupancy sensors.

Apparently Tesco have Hue white bulbs for 19.95 and Dimmer kits for 24.95

That’s a good price for the dimmer kit, but I believe Argos do the white only bulbs for about €19

Having said that I can never ever buy a white only bulb for again as they’ll never be as cheap as the 4 I got yesterday!!

Nope but they'll reduce at the the till.

Woodies Sandyford had 1 Iris and a handful of starter kits and dimmer kits (dimmer kits €22), not far of Amazon specials, would never pay full price there.

Woodies in kilkenny still had alot of Philips hue products left on shelf today (with light switches and sockets not lightbulbs) all half price at till. Picked up a few dimmer kits. now I have whole house (small cottage) fitted with hue bulbs

Unbelievable! Might explain why they didn’t sell in the first place!

Woodies in Athlone had nothing. Asked one of the lads on the floor who told me it's years since they stocked any Philips lighting products

What was the € conversion as amazon seem to add a bit extra

I have my card set up to pay in Sterling, so Amazon don't get their conversion rate, & the only extra Amazon added was the difference in the VAT. Total was £81.98.

I won't see how much in Euro until it comes up on my Credit card.

Actually, the B22 Colour Twin Pack is £73.81 atm. E27s are £64.99. Make sure you get the bulb type you want. The deal is the same for E27 & B22.
