Philips Hue starter kits are going cheap with Amazon's Black Friday deals, with huge savings in the US and the UK. If you've been thinking about getting started with Hue but have been put off by the price, now's the perfect time to take the plunge.

In the US, the best offer is the Philips Hue White & Color Ambiance A19 Starter Kit for only $79.98 (was $129.99) – its lowest price ever, and a super affordable way to dip your toe in the world of smart lighting. Meanwhile, in the UK you can grab the Philips Hue White & Color Ambiance E27 Starter Kit for only £64.99 (was £86.04), which is a record-breaking saving of 24%.

Different starter kits contain different light bulbs, so whether you want regular screw fitting bulbs for your ceiling fixtures or smart spotlights for your kitchen, there's a kit for you. All these sets also contain the Philips Hue Bridge, which connects the bulbs to one another and to your home Wi-Fi network, unlocking their full features.
