Technically not purchased today, but fitted today... a new dual camera system on the bike.
A better spot at the back than the last one (on the number plate). Initial quality of the footage looks... average. Only a quick loop round the garage area so far though.

The speed of motion is surely likely to be a bit of an issue on a bike!

First step into converting fully into smart lighting. Yes its expensive, even a rip off. But I have wanted this for a long time now.
Will eventually convert the whole apartment. This is enough for the living room and 2 bedrooms.
I love me some bacon but this looks its just been thrown in the microwave? doesn't look fried or grilled at all.

Too dim for me. I like my rooms bright, like daylight. Hue just doesn't come close sadly. Also ridiculously overpriced as you say.

Yuck. One my friends used to microwave bacon. Was the only place we stayed aftrer a night out and went out for brekfast
It's perfect for mood lighting in the evenings. I love them and it's transformed my space. Love the led strips. Plus it's great for remote control of lighting when you're not home.
Buy when it's on sale, which they are frequently.

I upgraded from an A3 so I'm not an additional Audi driver
for what it's worth I'm not a typical Audi driver haha.

For me I find bright lights at night too overbearing. Much prefer lamps. More soft and relaxing.
As said though, they're frequently on sale. The trick to it is combining items in a sale and then buying, saves a decent packet. Although it will likely cost me approx 600-700eur to kit out my apartment. The above is 300eur worth.
I don't really see the need for individuals controlled bulbs, I'd be happy enough with simply controlling groups of bulbs and having a dimmer function which I guess only requires smart switches.
The mood settings are potentially interesting though I guess.

I like my Hue bulbs, not cheap, but they do last and they provide a useful utility function.
I prefer the white ambiance ones though as I can change the white temperature to my liking. I don't find the raw colours as useful.
For my hallways I use the hue motion sensors, it's a really good way to turn the hallway lights on.
For nice mood lighting lamps I like combining the E27 hue bulbs with the Ikea FADO lamp https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/lighting/table-lamps/fado-table-lamp-white-art-10096375/.
Got two of the Hue Go lamps on my desk for behind the desk wall lighting. Those things actually go pretty damn bright.

Been using LIFX bulbs for nearly a year at this point. As long as your router is up to scratch at handling the amount of bulbs you'd want, it is a fantastic alternative and plenty bright.

Surely it's not really that different to a car?
Another fan of Hue here, as said buy it all in the sales and its not as bad. As for being too dim, I've got a strip on the back of my TV unit, its anything but too dim, I have to turn it to about 10% or its too overpowering.
I bought and installed a Nest Protect (wired) this weekend, replacing the old 'dumb' smoke alarm in the hallway. Will be getting a couple more for the bedrooms in time as well as the thermostat too.
