RRP: $159.95 - 56% off.
The hub alone is $69.99 so for an extra $1 you receive 2 x A60 B22 Hue white smart bulbs. Albeit the less common Bayonet fitting, maybe combine with a cheap adapter?
Usually dispatched within 4 to 5 days.

Is the bridge v2.0?
yes, remember, the Square is v2 and round is V1
its in the comments field below the page :)
hoped that helped
I prefer the White Ambience ones.
"Ships from Powermove Distribution" rather than Amazon AU although probably just means you wait slightly longer than if from an Amazon warehouse
Does anyone have experience with the Ikea Tradfri smart lights and can comment on how they compare to the Phillips product?
As far as I know both can be integrated with Google etc, and I don't really care about changing the lighting colours so I'm not sure if the Hue range is worth the extra money
I'm running a mix of them.
For plain white (no color temp), use Tradfri.
For color temp or color, Hue gives a bigger range of actual colors. Whether this matters depends on your preferences and use case.
The main difference is how deep you want to dive into the lighting rabbit hole. If all you want is to have a few white bulbs around the place that run on a few timers, then any number of "smart" systems like Tradfri will do the job.
Where Hue wins is once you go beyond a few bulbs. Bulbs, downlights, lightstrips, effect lights, outdoor, switches, colour scenes and effects…everything just works.
Might be worth it if I could sell the hub. While you can have multiple there's rarely a need if you have a decent mesh of devices to propagate the control traffic via zigbee.
I'd prefer to wait for a White Ambience deal though.
Good price but definitely not the cheapest it’s been. Was sub $50 just before Xmas.
