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.

Amazon Echo Dot (5th gen) -- $25, was $50

The Amazon Echo Dot (5th gen) is one of the best Amazon Alexa smart speakers around thanks to it being so small that you can fit it pretty much anywhere in your home. It’s pretty cute, but it still offers deeper bass than you would expect for the size, along with clear vocals. At all times, you can speak to Alexa to get news updates, info on the weather, or simply to get her to play a game or play some music for you. It also means you can control your smart home devices with your voice. It’s surprisingly powerful and a great entry point to making your home smarter with minimal effort.

Normally we see the best Amazon Fire tablet deals at Amazon, but for a change, the cheapest price for an Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet is at Best Buy. It usually costs $100, but Best Buy is currently selling it for $50. Crucially, in the past, Amazon has only ever dropped the price to $55, and that was way back during Black Friday 2022, so this is the best price we’ve seen in a long time. If you’re looking for a super cheap tablet, you’ll love this one. Here’s what else we have to say about one of the best tablet deals before you commit to a purchase.

Why you should buy the Amazon Fire HD 8
You won’t see the Amazon Fire HD 8 in our look at the best tablets because that’s how budget-friendly it is. Think of it as a tablet to hand to the kids to keep them entertained during long trips or for those times when you just need a little more screen space than using your phone.
