- Philips Hue products make popular deals on Prime Day, especially the company's smart light bulbs that can be controlled via app, Amazon's Alexa, and Google Assistant.
- In 2018, Amazon offered the following Philips Hue Prime Day deals $60 off a lighting bundle deal with Echo Dot, $30 off the White and Color Ambiance kit, and $10 off the White Bulb 4-Pack. We expect more of the same in 2019.
- If you're planning ahead for Prime Day 2019, add your favorites to a wish list now for easy shopping. We think Philips Hue makes the best smart light bulbs and the best smart light strips you can buy.
In the Prime Days of yore, a few deals have consistently captured the attention of the masses: Instant Pots, Echo products, and Philips Hue smart light bulbs ranking among the highest.
And while Prime Day 2019 has yet to be announced (though we have our guesses), tracking deals from years past means you can reasonably expect decent deals to come.
Here are the Philips Hue Prime Day 2018 deals we expect to see again this year:
- Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance LightStrip, $64.99 (originally $89.99) [$15 off]
- Philips Hue Go White and Color Portable Dimmable LED Smart Light Table Lamp, $62.99 (originally $79.99)[$17 off]
- Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance, $119.99 (originally $149.99) [$30 off]
- Echo Dot + Philips Hue 2 Color Bulb Starter Kit, $119.99 (originally $184.98) [$59.99 off]
- Philips Hue White Bulb 4-Pack, $39.99 (originally $49.96) [$9.94 off]
I've written a love letter to Philips Hue smart bulbs in my time at Insider Picks, and a few years later I'd still call the then-$150 Philips Hue White Ambiance Starter Kit (now $97.90) the best apartment upgrade I've ever made. The company also makes what we rank as the best smart light bulbs and the best smart light strips you can buy.
What makes Philips Hue light bulbs such valuable buys? The simple answer is how drastically they can improve the quality of your day-to-day life -with absolutely minimal intervention from you. Being able to dim or brighten the light in a room, or set schedules so they're on when you get home are simple luxuries you'll grow to appreciate. And getting to control them from your phone, watch, or by voice means you can turn the lights off without leaving bed or the couch. It also means you can wake up to a light that mimics the sun rather than soul-crushing fluorescents. The list of benefits goes on.
If you're considering them, Prime Day is the best time to buy outside of Black Friday. If you already own them, you can save some money by restocking the bulbs while they're discounted.
