As promised, the U.S. retail prices of several key Philips Hue products have jumped in response to tariffs. Just don’t tell anyone at Amazon, where a variety of Hue lights remain on sale in the days leading up to Prime Day.
Just to set expectations, the Hue discounts we’re seeing on Amazon aren’t as eye-poppingly steep as we’ve seen during previous Prime Day runups, but they do exist. For example, you can grab a Philips Hue 6-inch White and color ambience downlight for $42.40, a 39-percent discount versus its $69.99 list price and hovering near its all-time low.
We also spotted a 2-pack of Hue White candelabra bulbs for $25, down 29 percent, while a kit of two 6-foot Hue indoor White and color ambience LED light strips is $140.99, good for 26 percent off its $189.99 list price.
Those deals come just as Philips Hue is raising its prices in response to tariffs levied by the Trump administration. Hue announced last week that price increases were slated to take effect on July 1, and HueBlog notes that retail prices on the official Philips Hue website are showing roughly 10-percent increases for many popular Hue products.
The Hue Bridge, for example, is now $65.99 at the Hue online store, versus its previous $59.99 retail price. The 10-foot Hue Solo Lightstrip got a $7 price increase to $76.99, while the Hue Sync Box 8K is now $384.99, up from $349.99.
But those Hue price hikes don’t yet appear to have hit Amazon, where the list price for the Hue Bridge is still $59.99–and indeed, the standalone Bridge is now getting a 22-percent Amazon discount to just $46.99.
Here are a few more Hue deals on Amazon worth scoping out:
Philips Hue Sana Smart Wall Light, White and Color Ambiance, $189 on Amazon (5% off)
Philips Hue Smart Light Starter Kit with Hue Bridge, Dimmer Switch, and a pair of A19 White and color ambiance bulbs, $138 on Amazon (14% off)
Philips Hue White A19 bulb, 2-pack, $23.46 on Amazon (24% off)
Even the modest Hue discounts might be worth snapping up given that the Hue price hikes will likely make their way to Amazon at some point.
It’s not clear how long the official Hue price hikes will last, with the company saying just last week that it “reserves the right to modify prices based on new or additional tariffs becoming effective in the future.”

Amazon Prime Day is slated to begin July 8 and will run four days this year, concluding on July 11. You must be a Prime member to take advantage of the discounts, but you can always sign up for a 30-day free trial.
