Bring your home into the future with this Philips Hue Ambiance smart light starter kit. You can switch them on from your smartphone or tablet, so there’s no need to get up from the sofa (or even out of bed). They produce white or coloured light (your choice), have a spotlight fitting, and a 25,000-hour lifespan, meaning they won’t need changing very often. You can set them on a timer too – great if you want to wake up to a gentle glow every morning. And you can even remotely adjust the settings with the Hue Bluetooth app to set the mood for any occasion.

The kit also includes the Philips Bridge hub, needed for the lights to work, plus a remote dimmer switch. You’ll also need to download the free Philips Hue app, which is compatible with all iOS and Android devices.
