In the context of the numerous announcements this week, one little thing has unfortunately been somewhat overlooked. However, in case of an emergency, this little thing could be worth its weight in gold for all of us. From October, Philips Hue will finally offer spare parts for its products.

“Lose a power cable in a move? Need new mounts for your Play gradient lightstrip? ” writes Philips Hue on its website. “Find the replacement parts you need to extend the life of your Philips Hue products.”

So far I’ve only purchased hue bulbs. I’ve been absolutely thrilled with every single one. Based on the reports I’ve seen I will 100% be investing solely in their products for smart bulbs/lamps unless another product steps it up.

I bought 12 of them 10 years ago when I bought my house and still have 10 of them going strong. One of the failed ones still works too in white and red so I still get use from it. Money well spent in my book. 👍🏼
