If you’re looking to make some upgrades to your home, a splash of color can go a long way. One way to achieve this is by adding some smart lights. Philips has long made some of our favorite smart bulbs and lighting, but like most good things, these products can cost a pretty penny. Thankfully, Woot is having a sale on refurbished (and a few new) Philips Hue smart lights that will save you significant amounts compared with their standard prices. The sale officially runs through Jan. 30. But we expect stock to sell out pretty quickly, so if you see something you like, don’t hang about.
Refurbished devices are those that previous buyers have returned, but they’ve been inspected and restored to fully working condition. This makes them a solid way to spend less money than you would if you were buying a brand-new product. Plus, your purchase is backed by a 90-day Woot limited warranty, just in case.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
Highlight your TV set, office monitor or gaming rig with the Philips Hue Play 55-inch light strip for just $150, a savings of $90. It’s capable of changing into millions of colors, includes everything you need to mount it, and lets you use voice control options through the Hue app, Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Note that this light strip requires you to use a Philips Hue Smart Bridge that’s on sale for only $30 in open-box condition.
Snag a four-pack of brand-new Philips Hue white A19 smart light bulbs that will turn on or off with Alexa voice controls for $75. Additionally, the 130-foot weatherproof outdoor string lights are down to $260. You can also score smart switches and floor lamps from Philips at Woot to get everything you need for your space.

Why this deal matters
Buying refurbished and open-box products is one way to get deep discounts on things that typically cost a fair amount, and Woot often hosts sales like this with solid offers on such products. This sale includes tons of Philips Hue items, ranging from light bulbs to switches to floor lamps. These products are usually quite expensive, so it’s worth taking advantage of sales on them when they come around. However, products on Woot do tend to sell out quickly, and we expect the same in this case. So if you see something you want, grab it now.
