Amazon AU has 20% off the Philips Hue white and colour ambiance starter kit & the Light strip - discount applied at checkout.
Use discount code AMAZON20 for further $20 off for new members
CamelCamelCamel.
Their price isn't bad really at $45. Order 2 and use the AMAZON20 code and I think you'll get them for $70 with free shipping. Considering the non ambient ones are generally $30 thats pretty good.
Thanks mate. I thought the Amazon20 code is only meant for "new members"? I have been an Amazon member for some years now. I wonder if I still qualify…
Generally yes - as long as you haven't purchased a physical thing yet (i.e. ebooks and services don't count, this is $20 to buy something tangible with the opening of Amazon AU warehouses/retail)
I've bought things on Amazon US for years and it works when you buy your first physical item on Amazon AU
As other noted it applies to purchases from the Australian store. I used the code the other day (bought hue globes myself actually), having been a member on the US store for ages.
The other options would be to use a partner or family members account or to just create a new one if you’re so inclined.
Link is still showing $279 - where is discount applied?
Discount is applied at checkout
Referring to the 20% off, not the additional $20 new user.
Added to cart, still showing original pricing.
Edit: Ignore above, for some reason I needed to log out and back in again to show the promotion.
Would love to try the Hue but I just can’t justify the cost when Yeelights are a fraction of the price :(
Yeelight uses WIFI and often I found I lost connection, delays and had to setup again.
Personally, go Philips hue (get a starter kit), then wait until IKEA release their lighting options locally, which will be a lot cheaper than Philips.
They are zigbee lighting, so compatible with Philips Hue.
I read about this too. but there is no confirmation when this will be avail in australia?
From what I can see, USA got it first; and UK/Europe only earlier this year.
IKEA expected it to be in Australia late 2018.
I’m pretty new to the Hue world - have you (or anyone else) read about mixing US/AU systems? (Eg using EU/US bulbs in AU, or Ikea US bulbs in a Hue AU system)
I’ve heading overseas in a couple months and was thinking about picking up parts in multiple places. Assuming 100-240v and the same standard, I’d assume it should all work together but know it’s not that easy sometimes.
EU is fine, as they run 220/240; hence look out for bargains on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.de
US run 110; and not compatible in Australia. They need to be different to ROW…
@Daemonseed666: Thanks - was planning to do just that. Managed to get the colour system at a very good price ($170 -10% payback -10% payback-gift-cards, so $130ish). Now to find the time to get it all set up..
You pay for reliability.
Thanks OP
Thanks OP orderd 2 Kits for gifts and a light strip
Is $48 each the best price im going to get for the Motion Sensor?
