Is the best way to get into this reasonabley cheaply to buy one of the £50 quid hue starter kits and a load of the living white bulbs?
If this works I could do most of the house for a couple of hundred quid.
I think so
wait for amazon prime day too as there should be deals on Hue stuff then
also download the hotukdeals app and add a key word alert for "hue" then if there are any offers on anywhere you'll know about them, for instance argos were selling the led strips with £20 off the other day
also if there are any Grand Designs or Gadget Show type exhibitions on near you, Philips normally have a stand and sell products at a slight discount, I went to Grand Designs at the NEC last week and they did a 10% discount
