The Black Friday 17 Thread! - pls make sure you understand competitor rules

Some people seem to light them... harrrharrr

I can't stand LED lights, at all... the flicker gives me a headache plus the frequency of colour just looks wrong somehow... less depth to the light - I'll keep buying filament bulbs as long as I can.


Think you must be buying the wrong LEDs, or the fixtures/wiring you're using is shoddy :D
 
Just purchased:

Hyperx Pulsefire Mouse
Hyperx Cloud 2 Headphones
Hyperx Medium Mousemat

£100 on rainforest, £3 more than the indian food named place...thought it was worth it for the aftersales.

After trying out the Headphones and mouse & mat in Game I really liked them so pretty chuffed at getting all 3 for a decent price and look forward to being a fan boy :)

The only ones I know which 'can flicker' is if you have purchased 'dimmable' and put them in a non-dimmable socket or it is a dimmable socket and you have bought the non-dimmable variety. Other than that I have found the 'warm white' we use to be indistinguishable from the old incandescent bulbs. Certainly a huge improvement on the previous energy saving bulbs.
 
Got a nice deal I think on a laptop, HP 250 G6 i7-7500U (2SY44ES) 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, 15.6" Full HD display, W10 Pro, Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC - £529.96 at an unmentionable, previously £699.99.

It saves you time by not having to switch them on at the light switch.....so long as your phone is nearby. Plus if you have an echo you can just talk to it....although I will admit it's a bit hit and miss at times.
Google home is a no no though, all my lights are off yet google thinks 9 of them are on.

please explain how it saves time?

so i'm about to walk into my bathroom. in order to do this I need to WALK PAST THE LIGHT SWITCH. then get into the bathroom. pull my phone out. find the app on my phone. wait for app to load. then find the right bulb i want to switch on. then set what colour and how much light i need. then turn it on. by this time i have wet myself as i couldn't find the toilet.

yeah saves you tons of time i'll buy 1000 of them at £60 each.

Or you know being smart you have a sensor that turns it on anyway. But time saving is the least impressive argument for them anyway.
 
a couple of quid upwards, but did you just ignore the rest of it, that the time saving is the least impressive reason why you would get them.

yes i understand they can go bright green, etc. i know what they are. my posts above have been in jest.

i don't want multi coloured unnatural lighting.

i already have dimmer switches in my home in the areas i want them. i'm just wondering how does the sensor work when you want the lights to go off? or are they constantly monitoring for movement within the room? sensors doesn't seem to be a great solution tbh unless they know when everyone has left the room.

lol, who said anything about bright green. they can however reduce blue light as teh evening progresses, helping people to sleep better, something a huge portion of the population has issues with.

turning them on before your alarm which makes it so much easier to wake up. good luck doing that with your dimmer switch.

they're just motion sensors.

your dimmable dumb switches also cant adjust depending on the time of day, so if your old and get up to use the bathroom at night, they can dim the lights to stop you waking u fully for example.

there's so many things you can do with a smart home.

£30 upwards according to google. Answering a problem that never existed.

Edit: Would be useful if you were unable to reach the light switch for whatever reason
you may want to look harder
