With Philips Hue light bulbs starting at £12 in Amazon's Spring Sale, I'll be stocking up on extra supplies

Philips Hue bulbs don't get much cheaper than this. If you want to add smart lighting to your home but don't want to turn it into a colour-changing disco, this is the option for you. These are E27 bulbs, so they'll fit any standard screw fitting ceiling light or lamp.

Want the full colour-shifting Philips Hue experience? This set of two White and Colour Ambiance bulbs is down to its lowest price since Black Friday 2023, and is bundled together with the Hue Button, which you can program for quick access to your favourite settings.

Is it too early to be thinking about Christmas? Well, yes, but these smart Hue string lights are the cheapest they've ever been and have a tendency to sell out as soon as the temperature starts to drop. They can be set to a tasteful shade of white if you want to set them up now and use them to set a festive atmosphere.

The Philips Hue Play Bars are a quick and easy way to add Ambilight-style backlighting to your TV. This set of two bars is the cheapest it's been since Black Friday last year, and includes the essential Hue Bridge. You'll just need a Hue Play HDMI Sync Box to synchronize their colours with what's happening on your TV screen. Check out our full Philips Hue Play Light Bar review for more details.

Looking to buy a smart speaker for a small space? The Amazon Spring Sale includes the Echo Pop for just £22.99. This is the cheapest Echo device you can buy right now and one that we found was a fun, if somewhat basic, option in our Echo Pop review. For the money, however, you get a compact smart speaker with Alexa built-in, so you can play music, ask questions, and check the weather completely hands-free. Note that this did fall to £17.99 on Black Friday, but it's still a decent buy at £23.

The latest wireless Ring Doorbell has been discounted back to its lowest-ever price after this £40 price cut. We've tested more advanced versions and have been impressed with the video quality and night vision colour, but it's a shame that some of this device's value is usable exclusively with a Ring Protect subscription. However, if you're fine with paying for a subscription or already using a Ring-based home security system, it'll be worth the cost.

The Blink Mini is one of Amazon's best sellers and the retailer has the compact smart security camera back down to £18.99 – that's £3 more than the lowest price ever. This cheap, straightforward indoor HD camera works with Amazon Alexa and other smart devices. It alerts your smartphone whenever motion is detected so you can monitor your home, pets or children no matter where you are.
