Yeah, looks like the deal has expired. 7pm must’ve been the cut off as I bought my just before.
When I added them to the basket it was 9.99, then went to checkout and it had gone up to 12.99! Got one anyway as it’s still relatively cheap at that.

Yes, back down again.

Why on earth would you buy the 3 pack of bulbs for £80 when you can et the starter pack with hub for £70!
Really tempted by the GU10 versions, but have spent so much recently on car/home repairs and vet bills it'd be a lot more sensible not to!

The GU10 Starter vs The GU10 (3 pack) bulbs are slightly misleading as the starter kit contains the older GU10 bulbs. Agree with the standard bulbs however, always handy having a spare hub!

Ah interesting. Thanks for clarifying that as i didn't realise they had different versions. I had planned on the starter pack and selling the hub to bring the bulbs down to ~£15 each.

Ah good stuff, presume the shorter ones reduce the confusion about whether they'll fit.
You're lucky with 3, i worked out my kitchen has 34 bulbs. It's the reason i'm avoiding it!

34?! I have 4 of the old GU10's in our kitchen which I would like to replace tbh as they are a sod to get in the holders!

That's the differences.

Yeah, the builders got a little carried away when doing the extension (previous owners). There are 2 sky lights and there's about 10 around each and then a various others dotted about. It's ridiculous.
In reality i could probably only fill half of them and the room would be fine, but that'd look a bit daft.

isn't that an amazon error if they deliver the older gen2 bulb ... as some of the comments there suggest ?
the bluetooth on the newest gen4 ones is new, if you don't want a hub ... but otherwise they have same colour as gen3

Despite the smarthings compatability advertised will they work with the £6 ikea smarthings dimmers ? that's what i'd like to know
Am I being a bit special or is it not possible to have Nest Hello trigger my Hue lights in any way? I've tried nest meet hue but it just says now it's in google home it just doesn't work! Looks like IFTTT doesn't have the options any more.
