So far I have my kitchen cabinet strip lights and the lights in the tv room connected. Plan to add many more. Really good Hue app.
Well worth the extra money.

I really like the programmability of these with the hub. Nice presets with Hue app and enough functions for my needs. My Wife likes green, we have green. I change it every now and then from work with the app just to see if she's home and notices.

Never a Dr. Strange comic fan, thought I would give it a try. OK, is all, just wasn't my kind of Marvel. 4K was stunning playing on the Xbox.

Add remote control convenience to any light in your home with this Philips Hue white starter kit. Connect your smartphone to the Philips Hue Bridge device to switch lamps on and off from any location or create a lighting schedule. Fully dimmable, the bulbs included with this Philips Hue white starter kit let you create ambiance in seconds.
 

Which 2 white bulb starter kit is better? This one or the other one sold here for the exact same price? I see that these are a bit smaller and aren’t energy saving but it looks like this SKU number is of a newer model?

second generation versus first

Protect your office or entertainment equipment with this CyberPower LX1500GU 1500VA battery back-up system, which enables safe shutdown in the event of a power failure and features AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) to provide consistent power levels.
 

If a mini fridge were to be plugged in to it, would that do any harm or short a circuit in the home?

If the wattage of the fridge is more than the outlet on the UPS is good for, it will blow a fuse in the UPS.
Check the specs for wattage in the owners manual for the fridge. It should be ok since both the wall outlet and UPS outlets are rated at 15 amps. How long it will last on battery backup is another story. The compressor will drain the battery pretty quick when the fridge kicks on.

Bring soft illumination to your favorite nook with this white Philips Hue table lamp. It mimics natural light to help you relax and feel energized when you wake up, and it's bright enough to read by during story time. This Philips Hue table lamp connects to the Hue bridge, so you can control it remotely.
 

How big is it

Picture a Hersey kiss without the curl. Its open on the bottom (hollow) and you can change the white bulb to color if you want. Sorry, 10 inches diameter, 8 inches high. It does take up a lot of room, but you'll love it. I bought two.

I want to use these around the ceiling of my living room... how many of the extensions can I chain together?

30 feet per power supply

What's the difference between this one? And the 30 dollar one? Which one is better?

I think I understand your question.
The 3 meter one has the power supply and wi fi guts built into it.
The30.00 one is an extension for the 3 meter. They plug into each other.
The 30.00 one doesn’t have the power supply.

Power up your laptop with this Insignia 90W Universal Laptop Charger. The overvoltage, short-circuit and overheating protection reduces the risk of damage to your devices while several included tips enable compatibility with most laptops. This Insignia 90W Universal Laptop Charger has a super-long 10 foot cord to allow convenient placement of your laptop while powering up.
 

Will the Insignia AC adapter charge an Lenovo Ideapad 100s. I plug it in and it says charging and light gets brighter but I don't see battery power going up. Please let me know. I set it to 4.5

yes, this was bought for an HP convertible. It runs a little on the warm side, but has not got hot.
