    Handy for Christmas or if you have a party (remember those) I suppose. Instant decorations without a trip to the attic.

    They have an "ambiance" range which lets you set the warmth of the light but by all accounts it can be done just as well on the basic white ones

    I have been using Hue for years and realised that I don't use colours at all. On the contrary, colour bulbs fitted in my daughter's room has seen its fair share of usage.

    Kids/Teens use colour bulbs at least 4-5 times a week :-). For me, it's was like buying a 3D TV and never used 3D features.

    That’s my thinking, yes I can set the RGB in my lights, in the strips and the GPU, but why would I ever want to [emoji23]

    I don't own such a thing. It's a gimmick.
