As the title says I’ve ended up with 2 of these. One charcoal colour and one heather grey, I’ll keep one so someone can choose what colour they would prefer.

Brand new in a sealed box still

£65

Really good gadget these, I get endless hours of joy watching my 19 month old son trying to shout ‘Alexa play baby shark’ :joy:

I didn’t think we’d use it but it really is handy, lights all connected up. No more bending down like a pauper and all sorts of music played as it takes my fancy. Obviously I sit with my tinfoil hat on at all times and mask my voice while they listen in:joy:

Me too, just dander past and say "Alexa, goodnight" and all the lights go off.

Sorry to hijack the thread but just WiFi bulbs? Nothing else? Sorry I’ve been looking a couple of these and the fact I come home from work and our house is lit up like a Xmas tree every night these might help stop that.

So Alexa just turns them on and off? With the app you can set them up to come on and off if you were on holiday? Roughly working it out for bulbs in the rooms I need I’m talking £300 so far

We use WiFi plugs rather than bulbs. Some lights have 3 bulbs, but they only have 1 plug

Yeah cause one of our lamps has 5 bulbs.. so at £8 a bulb that’s £40 for 1 lamp. Easier just getting a plug per lamp?

@Cro I presume you are currently using the other one, whats your honest opinion of the sound quality?

Honestly it’s as good as the likes my JBL Bluetooth speaker. Good range of base, nice sound quality. For all the size it’s a surprisingly very good music player even at loud volumes, i assume it goes to ‘volume 10’ but I haven’t had mine last 7 and it’s plenty

@Cro I've just noticed it was January when you originally posted this.

Would you take £50 for it?
