5 brilliant Philips Hue Prime Day deals you can’t afford to miss
We've now entered the back half of Amazon's Prime Day event, and we're still seeing many of the same great deals, along with some new highlights. If you've been shopping around for the best Prime Day smart home deals, you've probably come across a bunch of smart lighting options.
Philips and its Hue brand are at the forefront today, with fresh sales on a bunch of products to add to or get you started on a smart lighting setup. You can buy some bulbs separately for use with the Hue app or Alexa and Google Assistant, but the best setup comes when you add a Hue Bridge hub that can control all of your home's lighting at once. Having a Bridge hub present can also unlock scheduling, music and movie sync, and the ability to control your lights even when you aren't at home.
Here are the best Philips Hue deals for day two of Amazon's Prime Day.
Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance LED Smart Bulb
The Philips Hue A19 white and color smart bulbs can fit into pretty much any conventional socket, giving you millions of colors (as well as many shades of white) to play around with. You can control them alone through the Philips Hue app, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant, but the real usefulness comes when you add a Hue Bridge. If you don't already have one, be sure to check out the next entry in this list.
The previous best price we monitored was $80 way back in 2021, but that's been bested by this 44% discount that brings the total down to $76.

They can go for up to 25,000 hours of runtime, and they put out the equivalent of 60W of brightness that you'd find in a regular bulb while running at just 9.5W. The three-pack is 44% off right now, bringing the total down to $76. $76 at Amazon
Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Smart Light Starter Kit
Those who don't already have a Philips Hue Bridge hub should check out this starter kit. It has two A19 bulbs and the Hue Bridge, giving you full control over your home's lighting from the start. You don't even need to be at home to make changes. This is the first kit I purchased a couple of years ago, and I've since been adding bulbs and light strips to the same central Hue Bridge.
The second day of Amazon's Prime Day event has knocked 31% off this starter pack, bringing the total down to $90. Picking up the starter pack and the three-pack of A19 bulbs listed above is only about $30 more than buying one separately when not on sale.
