• Yeah... I went Philips Hue and estimated that it cost £800 to do the whole flat and a similar number of lights. This included the switches and changes to make the switches cover the old manual switches.

    It was an easier pill to swallow as when we had moved in all of the lights were halogen so I already knew I was going to change them all for LED. I only opted for the white Hue lights... I've since purchased a single coloured Hue lamp and now with I hadn't... the white Hue lights are way nicer.

  • white + ambiance (for different temperatures) is definitely the winner with hue.

    we have tried the cheaper INNR bulbs as well - and have found that

    a) dimming range is not as great as hue - i.e they are brighter at there dimmest, which is a pain for ultra low nighttime settings.

    b) they don't have the ability to 'save' a power cycle setting (at least - through the Hue interface) whereas the Hue lights can be set to either return to last setting, or turn on to full white if the switch is flicked on and off.
