BT Shop are also normally very good for Hue deals (that's normally when amazon drop to match)
Are you doing anything with Hue?

I actually get much better light out of the Nanoleaf Aurora on full blast white if I want to brighten up a dark room, I use mine on full bright white during the day and it's fab.
I'm also able to put them in places I can't get hue lights that need sockets. For example just above my computer desk there's no light sockets. I tried putting a lightstrip on the ceiling, but it didn't look great without any diffusion. I stuck 4 nano leaf disks in a triangle to the roof instead and I've got a great downlighter that looks the biz.

Some great deals on Amazon today for the Hue stuff.
got to admit they are amazing deals,if i hadn't already spent £300 on hue then i would have got these at the very low price.

Yeah i noticed they weren't discounted. Didn't mind that so much as I caved and purchased and normal price a few weeks back. 
Bought a mixture of colour bulbs and white GU10s, plus a couple of motion detectors.

Slightly relieved about that as I bought two extra ones a couple weeks ago! I am however tempted by a Dot to control them with.

Not op but I find them really good in hallways and areas where you just need lights on for short durations. Means you can walk in to the home without needing to switch any lights on etc too.
and what are they battery powered or do i need to plug them in?

Sorry, typed a reply yesterday but didn't click post! (Doh)
Similar to what HungryHippos was saying I plan to use them for the hallway/stairs (one at top and one at bottom), plan to configure so during the evening they come on at a decent brightness but gone 12 they come on much dimmer if triggered.
Just looked these up, they look very impressive/colourful. But wow they're expensive!!
I am looking at starting to use these lights in my house... main point would be the kitchen. 4 spot lights and numerous LED strips currently under and above cupboards.
How have people installed these? I am looking at having probably 5/6 different LED strips (some possibly composing of 2 or more LED strips joined together, hope that makes sense?). Current LEDs are hardwired in, but all join up at a box. Excuse my lack of electrical vocabulary.
Guess my question is will I need a plug socket for each LED strip, or could I hard wire them like the existing ones? Basically I am a narb.
Spotlights I think I can manage

Ah sorry I didn't make myself clear.. One long LED strip won't work in my kitchen as I have standalone upper units. I'm guessing I would need a completely different socket per unit.
