Woot is having a day-long sale on a range of tech, including a mix of new and open-box Philips Hue smart lighting. The retailer’s already-discounted prices are even cheaper today when you enter the code SAVETWENTY at checkout through midnight Central Time. The products included in the sale serve as a great introduction to setting up smart lights, or diving a little deeper.

For starters, there’s the Philips Hue Bridge Gen 2 that’s $25.60 with the code (versus $65.99 new at most), which is a required gadget for operating some Philips Hue products. For instance, you’ll need it to setup the Play HDMI Sync Box 8K ($212 with code, originally $384.99) that can sync other Hue lights to what’s showing on your TV screen. While some Hue devices fall back on Bluetooth, you’ll eventually need a Bridge if you plan to setup more than 10 lights or if you want to control lights remotely.
Other great Verge-approved deals
- Another notable product eligible for a 20 percent discount through midnight Central Time at Woot is the first-gen Amazon Kindle Scribe. The retailer has refurbished models of the 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB models starting at $159, and going up to $176, and $199, respectively. You can get the deal by entering the code KINDLE20 at checkout. The differences between the late 2024 model that’s on sale here and the one that arrived late last year starting at $499 may be a big deal depending on who you ask. The older model has a thicker bezel on its left side, and its 10.2-inch screen is smaller than the 11-inch display in the newer one. The discounted model at Woot includes a Premium Pen stylus for handwriting and drawing.
- GameStop has new copies of the Super Mario RPG remake for Nintendo Switch selling for just $15. The sale price extends to another first-party Nintendo Switch RPG, Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Both titles have never been more affordable, and these prices aren’t available at other retailers. There are other games available at $15 each that you might be interested in, from the likes of Diablo 4 and Monster Hunter Wilds to Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.
- If you can’t decide whether you want a USB-C power bank or wall adapter, you can get both in a small and very cheap package at Amazon. Iniu’s 10,000mAh power bank with fold-out outlet prongs is $18.35 (originally $39.99) when you add the black model to your cart. The power bank can output top speeds of 45W via its built-in USB-C cable, or through its additional USB-C port (it also has a USB-A port). It reduces output speed to 30W while it’s plugged into your wall, but that’s still a respectable pace for many phones, tablets, and some laptops.
