Full details →Who the Philips Hue White & Color Ambiance Smart Bulb E27 9W is for
Buy it if: Anyone who wants very low dimming, accurate colour, and automations that survive an internet outage.
Avoid it if: Anyone whose fittings are B22 bayonet, and anyone unwilling to add a Rs8,000 Bridge to get the full feature set.
Who the Govee RGBIC LED Strip Lights 16.4ft Wi-Fi App Sync is for
Buy it if: Anyone who wants multi-colour and flowing effects rather than one colour along the whole strip.
Avoid it if: Anyone who needs to cut the strip to fit an exact run, and anyone on Apple Home.
