Philips Hue smart bulbs have a rare discount during this Best Buy sale

The Philips Hue A19 Smart LED Starter Kit with three smart bulbs.

Smart lighting is one of the best entrances into the world of greater smart home automations. Individual bulbs, light strands, and lamps give users the ability to adjust brightness, colors, and even some lighting animations from an easy-to-use mobile app. In many cases, you’ll even be able to use Alexa and Google Assistant to control your gear. And when it comes to Philips Hue deals, these are the types of lighting promos you want to pay close attention to!

Right now, Best Buy is offering a killer sale on some Philips Hue hardware, and we’ve got leads on two of the best promotions: One is for the Philips Hue A19 60W White and Color Ambiance 3-Pack ($80), and the other is for the Philips Hue A19 60W Starter Kit ($115).

These three Philips Hue A19 60W bulbs are some of our favorite smart light bulbs. At up to 800 lumens, these color-changing indoor bulbs are easy to set up and a breeze to customize. Right out of the box, you’ll be able to control these bulbs using the Hue app over Bluetooth. If you find that you’d like to add more Hue lighting products down the line, investing in a Philips Hue Bridge will let you switch over to Wi-Fi controls. 

Even without the expanded controls though, this Hue 3-Pack does a terrific job at enhancing the illumination in one or a few rooms of your home.

One of the best gateways into a full-fledged Hue system is this awesome A19 60W starter kit. Out of the box, you’ll get three color-changing bulbs, a smart light switch, and the aforementioned Philips Hue Bridge. When connected to your router, the Bridge lets you control and customize up to 50 different Hue products. You’ll also be able to control your system using Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and Samsung SmartThings. 

It’s hard to say just how long this promotion is going to last. That being said, if you’ve been looking for a solid deal on smart lights, we can’t think of a better promo to take advantage of. Purchase the Philips Hue A19 60W White and Color Ambiance 3-Pack for $80, and the Philips Hue A19 60W Starter Kit for $115 when you buy through Best Buy.

Seasonal allergies can be really terrible, especially if you live in an area with a lot of trees, and if you're in a crowded city, then you get the double hit of both the allergens and the pollution. Luckily, air purifiers have become pretty cheap, and they're a great option to snag to give you cleaner air in your home. Air purifiers work by removing the allergens and pollutants you might usually find in the air, especially if it has a HEPA filter, making it an excellent choice for those who want that extra quality of life, especially if you snag a fancy one that can work with your smart home devices.

Either way, we've collected some of our favorite deals below. While you're at it, you may want to consider checking out these air conditioner deals and humidifier deals to help with other issues.
