The best Cyber Week Philips Hue deals for 2020

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are over, but many retailers rolled their sales right along into Cyber Week deals. During the year it’s usually very difficult to find Philips Hue lights on sale, so take advantage of the deals now. Many retailers have awesome Cyber Week sales on Philips Hue products such as the Philips Hue White and Color LED Smart Button Starter Kit, the Philips Hue LED LightStrip Plus, the Philips Hue Play White & Color Ambiance Smart LED Bar Light, and more. Since Cyber Monday is now over and Cyber Week is in progress, be sure to take advantage of these unprecedented deals while they last.

Many Cyber Week Philips Hue deals come with complementary product offers and bundles, like Cyber Week smart home deals that can help you not just create the lighting situation you want, but control every aspect of your home, from anywhere. It’s really the ultimate peace of mind. But you can’t just sit and wait. To be sure you and yours get the Philips Hue lighting product that could transform your living space, order sooner than later.

How to choose Philips Hue smart lights

When it comes to discounted Philips Hue products, there are enough out there to blind you — but that’s a good thing. So, the question becomes how to select the best one for you. Don’t worry, we’ll light your way, with our guide to the Best smart lightbulbs for 2020. Right at the top of the pile is the Philips Hue Smart Light Bulb Starter Kit. We love how the starter kit’s super reasonable price gives you four A19 LED smart bulbs that emit warmer or cooler light at your discretion. You can connect up to 50 bulbs if you use the Philips Hue Bridge that comes in the kit. Depending on your preference, you can put your lights on schedules, or simply use the Hue app on your smartphone.

But the Starter Kit is far from your only Philips Hue option. If you’re looking for an incredible on-the-go smart light, there’s the Philips Hue Go, which plugs into a wall outlet for reading or working at night, but it’s made to be unplugged and taken with you as a portable, tiny centerpiece. It can last 3 hours on a full charge, and the 300-lumen bulb can last up to 20,000 hours before needing to be replaced. There’s also Philips Hue LED LightStrip Plus which can help you jazz things up, or set the ultimate mood lighting, in your home theater system, or your gaming den. It’s a custom lighting dream.

How much should you spend on Philips Hue smart lights?

As with most products, your needs and your budget should direct how much you spend on Philips Hue smart lights. The first question to answer with Philips Hue lights, however, is whether will you use the lights for illumination only or also for mood-setting and decorative effect. If your purpose for Philips Hue smart light shopping is to illuminate a home or business space with white light, you can figure Cyber Week net costs of about $12 to $20 per bulb, depending on the type of bulb or fixture. If you are going to create decorative settings or change colors for various moods, it’s reasonable to pay $20 to $50 per bulb at sale prices. Cyber Week deal prices for Philips Hue bulbs tend to be discounted from 15% to 25%, much less than discounts for many other product categories, so keep that in mind when you set out to find the killer deal for Philips Hue lights and lighting.

Are Philips Hue deals too good to be true?

The remaining Cyber Week Philips Hue lighting deals are awesome, including deals bundled with other products. You still should do your research for any smart lighting purchase. Retailers use Cyber Week both for sales on the newest products and to sell older inventory or clear out overstocked inventory items. You can definitely get super-amazing deals on earlier versions of current products, but you don’t want to be surprised if you thought you were buying the latest model. Also, not every deal is a good deal, for individual products and bundles, so check the prices before assuming they are worth your money. Also, beware of time-pressure tactics like using countdown timers on sales items.

There are loads of excellent deals on Philips Hue lights ready for you at still-great prices to find when you shop all the major websites. Or you can let Digital Trends do the research for you and check out our highlighted Cyber Week Philips Hue deals above.

I have Meta Quest 3S and this is the best VR accessory yet — it’s on sale
Kiwi Design best VR accessory Meta Quest 3 headstrap

Ahead of the holidays and some prime family time, I've picked up the Meta Quest 3S. So far, my family is absolutely loving it, and my kids are constantly bugging me to play games, explore worlds, and get virtual. Naturally, I manage the time we're all spending -- you don't want too much screen time. But regardless, every one of us ends up becoming immersed, which means spending a lot of time with the headset on. One of the biggest drawbacks of the stock setup is that the headstrap is uncomfortable, and it puts a lot of pressure on your face. That means, the Meta Quest 3S's best VR accessory -- and the Meta Quest 3, too -- is a new, custom strap.

We grabbed the Kiwi Design Quest 3-Quest 3S headstrap and it's fantastic. It's also on sale right now for 20% off. Normally $30, it's discounted to $24 with a coupon code. Why am I sharing? If you pick up a Meta Quest 3 or 3S for yourself, or you're planning to gift one to someone over the holidays, I highly recommend ordering one of these straps. It vastly improves the experience and makes wearing the headset much more comfortable. It's also easy to adjust the fit, which is a big deal for kids. You have no idea how frustrating it was to constantly adjust the headstrap for my children between each turn.

Update 11/6/24: Though this is our first iteration of such a list for the 2024 Black Friday season, we're already quite happy with it. Apple showed up with an affordable Apple Watch (which has fitness tracking that, though on the simpler side, we actually like better than some of its more complex siblings) and the Peloton Guide is $100 off. Plus, we were able to find smart tracking in stationary scale format for just $23, an entry-level price anybody can afford. This is a great start and we're excited to see what is to come...

Despite lingering stereotypes, the tech space and fitness space are quite closely related. And so, for this Black Friday season, we know you may be interested in some great fitness gear. Luckily, while Black Friday officially starts on November 29, you can go ahead and get started on your fitness resolutions way early with early Black Friday deals. That means that if the early Black Friday headphones deal you picked up happens to be a good pair of running headphones, now is a fantastic time to pick up an exercise bike or treadmill. Alternatively, now is also a great time to pick up an excellent fitness tracker with early Black Friday smartwatch deals. No matter what your goals, however, the following deals are ripe and ready now, not in a few weeks, so there is no reason to delay your plans.
