Bought a ton of Phillips hue stuff off Amazon and a couple of Echos. Hoping its worth the money.

Been considering getting the Logitech G29 Wheel for a while - It's currently down to £128.99 for the wheel and pedals - Is that a good price? Should I go for it?

got a steam link for £11 ish all in - pretty happy with that.
Also ordered a bunch of the marvel ultimate graphic novel collection that i didn't have (half price at the moment)

Seems like a 20% off bank holiday sale and not a black Friday sale on most site's I've been on.

I grabbed the Nintendo Switch with Mario Odyssey for £279 last night, sold out now but worth keeping an eye out for if it comes back in stock. It's exactly what my kids wanted for Christmas - a bit pricey for a Christmas present but I'll be using it too!

Define using? You mean you for 90% of the time and your kids 10%

?

You'll have about a minute to get one then and even so you need luck on your side, Dell are a bit cheeky with these deals and literally only have double digit numbers.

Some nice bourbon deals on amazon. Makers Mark £18. Woodford Reserve £18.75

wanted to try some minimalist shoes and well my old walking shoes are totally dead, so ordered some Freet Bootee AYR, 25% discount. See how i get on with them.
think that will be my one and only purchase.

Have to say rather underwhelmed with the BF deals this year across all retailers .....

Some good deals on ryzen, kabylake-x, some 4k tv's and a few other bits but otherwise very meh...

Glad I didn't hold of on buying a dji spark for example... Bought it a few weeks ago for a £100 less then seem it on a 'deal' today for!

grimm · 24 Nov 2017 at 10:32

Had a look at the OCUK deals and they all seem pretty poor so far...

These bulbs seem to be all the rage atm

This. £100 for three bulbs! Do they cure cancer or something?

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.

as well as diming and colour change.
i dont know about you but bright ceiling lights are horrible, but also needed occasionally.
Also having them reduce blue light in the evening to help sleep is a big draw for me.

Google Home works fine with all mine.

Handy if you leave lights on downstairs, just ask Google home mini in the bedroom to turn them off

My girlfriend works from home and suffers from a bit of Seasonal Affective Disorder - So the 'Energise' mode has really been positive for her.

Of course! Just think of all the things I could be doing with the time not spent switching my lights on, and then a couple of hours later... off.

where was that?

wozza2k · 24 Nov 2017 at 11:15

I think I've spend more than £3k so far and yet to get anything electrical yet, sales this year is better than last year for sure

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.

Skillmister · 24 Nov 2017 at 11:24

Any good TVs for sub £300?
