Look, we normally give Philips Hue a hard time because they’re smart LED lightning products are so expensive. A single multi-color A19 smart LED bulb from Philips Hue costs $50! Even on sale right now on Amazon they’re about $36 each, which is a lot of money to spend on a single bulb. If you don’t care about colors and you’re looking for only white tones, however, Amazon’s running a crazy sale right now that actually makes Philips Hue more affordable than just about every other brand-name option out there. Philips Hue White A19 LED Bulbs are somehow down to just $10.99 each right now, which is $0.99 away from the lowest price we’ve ever seen. If you have a Philips Hue setup and you don’t take this opportunity to expand it for just $10.99 a bulb, you’re pretty much insane.

Here’s what you need to know from the product page:

  • VOICE CONTROL: The Philips Hue White Smart Bulb works with Amazon Alexa to support dimming through voice control. For the full Hue experience and to take advantage of voice activation purchase the Philips Hue Hub (Model: 458471). Search “Philips Hue Hub” or “B016H0QZ7I” to find this product on Amazon.
  • SCHEDULE YOUR OWN CUSTOM LIGHTING SCENES: Philips Hue can make it seem like you’re home when you’re not, using the schedule function in the Philips Hue app. Set the smart bulbs to come on at a pre-set time, so the lights are on when you arrive home. You can even set rooms to light up at different times. And of course, you can let the smart lights turn off gradually in the night, so you never have to worry whether you’ve left any lights on. This is the perfect way to personalize your smart home.
  • EASY INSTALLATION: To install, simply screw the smart bulbs into your desired light location, download the Hue mobile app and pair your Hue Hub (sold separately). Control smart-bulb-equipped lamps and overhead lights via the Philips Hue App
  • EXPAND YOUR ECOSYTEM: Connect the smart bulb directly to your other Smart Home Devices like Amazon Echo Plus, Nest, or SmartThings systems. Easily expand your smart lighting system with hue accessories (sold separately), such as a Hue Dimmer Switch, Hue Tap, or Hue Motion Sensor
