Great find! Yea I picked up 12 of these bulbs (a few in spare) due to this promo and hooked them up with SmartThings then Alexa so that I can try to get my wife to get used to using Alexa for controlling the house lights but that may take a very long time as, even for me, I’m still slightly used to turning off the physical switches.
Also worth mentioning though as a warning is that these lights, at the moment, are not perfect and can disconnect from SmartThings (however what lights can’t so yea haha) but in my personal experience I have only seen this occur when someone flicks the light switch on/off manually and not through the app or Alexa which is going to be a very high chance for anyone starting to use these throughout the house so just as a warning!
I have included the link below to a fantastic thread by @JDRoberts just so that if it happens to you, then you can easily fix it within seconds…

Keep in mind I was considering moving from an existing v1 to v2 but after asking that question in the thread below and getting community opinions I then reconsidered (since there weren’t that many pros outweighing the cons). Especially since $10 is attractive but not a big enough deal to warrant the time for migrating devices or deal with even new issues in v2 that aren’t in v1 but yea! Maybe if it was 50% off!!!
I’m not sure off the bat, but from what I learned earlier in this thread if they’re the same it seems the best deal would be to have HD pricematch with their added 10% less policy.
Edit: still dont know the difference but one of them says “single bulb” and one says “extension bulb” on the covers. Maybe one is the 1st generation?
Those new “White” hue bulbs are $14.95 everywhere (see Best Buy). I normally get them at Sears with free shipping because “Surprise points” show up in my account and I buy hue White bulbs at the discounted price. For instance, yesterday $10 surprise points show up in my account and I bought the white bulb for $14.95 -$10.00 + tax, delivered.
Anyone know if those work on dimmer lamps - or if any do in general?
I put 3 GE Link bulbs in my dimmer lamp and they do flicker a bit sometimes. I have to goof around with the dimmer % on the bulbs to stop it. I don’t mind keeping the dimming knob on the lamp 100% as long as any specific brand plays nicely with it.
Maybe it’s store by store but I never realized that they not only price match but also take 10% off to be an even better price. If so and that applies as a policy across all stores, then I got screwed haha! Well 12 x $7.50 would be $90 so I lost $9 I guess.
I got a pair of lightstrips back in April and haven’t even set them up yet because I don’t know where exactly to put them lol, where do you guys use them around your house?
