Prime Day 2020

Harmony Elite if they drop to around £100. I've noticed as mentioned previously, that they have gone up to £280 this week on Amazon so down to £100 might be asking a bit much

Will check it out.

Hope theres not another bragging/arguing over light bulbs for most of the thread tho this year. :mad:

Not really bothered about colour changing, but dimming would be handy.

You can do single room off or you can do “turn all lights off” and it will turn off every light, surprisingly enough. I do it when I go to bed because some lights I have are motion sensor which auto off after 3 mins but I just want it off immediately.

The lights temp is useful because you can have it in tungsten yellow or more an office light white.

You can get them in the UK for the same or less

May have to purchase some more in that case! Got mine when they were fairly new so could only really import them annoyingly

HUE - the 2*e22 colour ambiance+hub @£67 or e22 white ambiance @£20ea look good deals

You can't use a traditional wall mounted dimmer with them. They don't like it and will flash and be erratic. I replaced my wall dimmers with plain switches and the lights are now always on, controlled by a hue dimmer or app

Lifx are cheaper and don't require a hub

£17 for white, £20 for colour and £30 for large size.

Already have 3 (2 large and one white) so got 2 of the colours for £40 that's every room I want done. Others have dimmers or gu10's so not interested in changing switches or paying £50 a bulb.

I was looking to buy a Karcher pressure washer. The one I want was £160 over the weekend, it's now available for just £175.... :rolleyes:

Wife wants a Switch for Christmas - but probably safe to assume that is one product that won't see a discount. So cannot see me purchasing anything.

it’s actually legit on sale! £315!

That's exactly what I wanted. I was going to change the switch to a dimmer ages ago but never got around to it, so now I may as well just change the bulbs.

Annoyingly though...they don't seem to be included in Prime day.

Picked up a few boxes of Grenade bars at £13 a box.

Just had a look. Nothing I want this time. Hue bundles are included though...

Tempted by some sort of smart bulbs now I'm in my own house.

There are some random LE and Avatar branded ones that are quite a bit cheaper than the Hue models...

I don't think OCUK stock them, so I think it's allowed but there are Sabrent drives on the cheap...As well as some Logitech stuff.

A joke isn't it.

The K2 is up for £99.99 but it was back in Nov 2019 £76.50

This one is even more cheekier

Kärcher 16018850 K 3 Home Pressure Washer, 1600 W, 240 V, Yellow/Black

RRP £169.99 but on Amazon it's never been more than £129 and in August it was £123.99 and they're flogging it for £126.95

Hoping for a cheap Blink XT2 add on camera

Been hovering over a 3 camera set for a few days now, are they any good as I really am undecided to order?
