Spend $48+ on Philips LED Light Bulbs, Get FREE Philips SceneSwitch 4-pack

Good until 9/30/17 (or earlier if sold out), Amazon has a promotion when purchasing $48 or more in participating Philips LED light bulbs, sold and shipped by Amazon itself as one time purchases (not “Subscribe and Save”). Over a dozen different Philips options are eligible for the promotion.

How to Get the Freebie PHILIPS SCRENESWITCH

  • Add $48+ in eligible Philips lights – this can be multiple units of the same item, or a mix and match of various items. Amazon itself must be the seller, not anyone else
  • manually add the free item to the shopping cart, the Philips LED A19 SceneSwitch (four color-changing light bulbs, they switch between 5000, 2700, 2200 Kelvin). This too must be sold and shipped by Amazon itself
  • Proceed to Checkout. If all is well, the price of the SceneSwitch ($23.90 as of the time of writing) will be deducted from your order total at the top right corner of the Amazon Checkout page)
  • If you don’t see the discount, it means the promotion expired or there is some other problem. Do not proceed. If you don’t see the discount, you will pay full price! Screenshot of what you should be seeing below:
